Implementing a shared decision-making and cognitive strategy-based intervention: Knowledge user perspectives and recommendations.

The aim of this study was to employ knowledge user perspectives to develop recommendations that facilitate implementation of a complex, shared decision-making (SDM)-based intervention in an interprofessional setting. This study was part of a larger knowledge translation (KT) study in which interprofessional teams from five freestanding, academically affiliated, rehabilitation hospitals were tasked with implementing a cognitive strategy-based intervention approach that incorporates SDM known as Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) to treat survivors of stroke. At the end of the 4-month CO-OP KT implementation support period, 10 clinicians, two from each site, volunteered as CO-OP site champions.
