Would they accept it? An interview study to identify barriers and facilitators to user acceptance of a prescribing advice service.
Article in BMC health services research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesFew studies have explored the factors influencing user uptake of interventions designed to enhance therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). This study aimed to identify barriers and facilitators to acceptance of a pilot intervention, the TDM Advisory Service (the Service), that provided prescribing advice for the antibiotic, vancomycin at an Australian public hospital.
methodsA sample of prescribers and pharmacists who had interacted with the Service (n = 10), and a sample who had not (n = 13), participated in semi-structured interviews. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed independently by two researchers for emerging themes. The Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) was used to synthesise barriers and facilitators to Service acceptance.
resultsKey barriers reported by participants who had interacted with the Service aligned with two TDF domains: 'Social Influences' (prescribing hierarchy) and 'Environmental Context and Resources' (accessibility of dose advice). For participants who had not interacted with the Service, key barriers aligned with two TDF domains: 'Knowledge' (uncertainty of Service processes) and 'Environmental Context and Resources' (accessibility of dose advice). Key facilitators for both participant groups aligned with 'Beliefs about Consequences' (improved prescribing and patient outcomes) and 'Environmental Context and Resources' (accessibility of dose advice). A novel domain, 'Trust', was identified.
conclusionsIndependent of participant interaction with the Service, knowledge of Service processes, perceived beneficial outcomes, improved accessibility, and trust in Service capabilities were key determinants of acceptance. This evidence can be used to inform the adoption of strategies to adapt and enhance integration of the Service into clinical workflow.
