- - Informal caregivers for people with dementia often face decreased quality of life and need better implementation strategies for evidence-based interventions (EBIs) to enhance their caregiving experience and outcomes.
- - A scoping review of studies related to implementation science for home- and community-based EBIs involved searching multiple databases and analyzing various frameworks to assess implementation strategies, outcomes, and influencing factors.
- - Of the 67 studies reviewed, training and education strategies were most common, with high rates of acceptability, penetration, and appropriateness reported, indicating positive reception and integration of these interventions.
