Occupational Therapists' Perspectives on Community Implementation of Interventions Unfamiliar to Older Adults.
Article in The Gerontologist, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesThere is an increasing push for broad implementation of evidence-based interventions (EBIs) targeting older adults. Successful delivery of EBIs in communities requires therapists to adhere to protocols and to be responsive to contextual factors. This study explored the real-world implementation of an EBI, the Multiple-component Cognitive Intervention using Simulated Everyday Tasks (MCI-SET) in Taiwan from therapists' perspectives on fidelity, challenges, and strategies for program delivery. RESEARCH DESIGN AND
methodsWe used a convergent mixed-methods design. Quantitative data were collected from the 13-item Perceived Fidelity Questionnaire (PFQ), assessing the perceived importance, proficiency, and adherence to the essential skills of MCI-SET. Qualitative data were collected via 2 World Café discussions on implementation challenges and strategies, which were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using thematic analysis. Quantitative and qualitative findings were then compared and integrated to enrich the interpretation.
results47 occupational therapists completed the PFQ. They rated community-oriented skills as more important, demonstrated greater proficiency, and achieved higher adherence. Qualitative analysis revealed that therapists need to increase and sustain participation by strategically introducing the program, adapting the intervention protocol to make it engaging, relevant to everyday issues, and tailored to local needs, and building rapport. Both quantitative and qualitative findings highlighted the importance of community engagement skills and the adaptability of intervention to implementation and sustainability in communities. DISCUSSION AND IMPLICATIONS: Real-world scale-up of EBIs requires tailored adaptations responsive to community contexts, especially when initially introducing an intervention unfamiliar to the community. This emphasizes the need for a dynamic fidelity concept.
