Implementation of a Combined Workplace Intervention to Improve the Vitality of Healthcare Professionals: A Process Evaluation.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the preconditions for the successful implementation of a workplace intervention and to evaluate the implementation process of a combined workplace intervention to improve the vitality of healthcare professionals within a Dutch healthcare organization. Preconditions were examined from three different perspectives (ie, research, management, and healthcare professionals). The multifaceted implementation strategy consisted of six components, including a needs assessment, a workshop on workload, and a workshop on sleep. Regarding intervention reach, out of the 248 healthcare professionals, 211 (85.1%) attended the workshop on workload, and 206 (83.1%) attended the workshop on sleep. Satisfaction scores (0-10) for the workshop on workload and the workshop on sleep were 6.9 (SD, 1.1) and 8.2 (SD, 0.7), respectively. The multifaceted implementation strategy for the combined workplace intervention was partially carried out as intended.
