Article Synopsis
- - The paper discusses the importance of intervention and implementation fidelity in healthcare research, emphasizing that strict adherence to core components of interventions is crucial for meaningful evaluation of outcomes.
- - It highlights the need for flexibility in defining fidelity, as varying contexts and implementation strategies require researchers to adapt their approaches while ensuring that fidelity criteria are transparent and context-dependent.
- - The authors argue that fidelity assessments should consider not just individual behaviors, but also organizational and system factors, further complicating the evaluation process and necessitating a deeper understanding of fidelity concepts.

Background: The introduction of complex family interventions poses a challenge since they consist of various interacting components which affect multiple players and often require changes in behaviour and work processes. Implementation success is strongly influenced by environmental factors. The comprehensive implementation of complex interventions therefore needs a deliberate and systematic implementation process, including its evaluation.

- The study aimed to evaluate the implementation and experience of a Family Support Intervention (FSI) in adult ICU settings as part of the FICUS trial, using a mixed-methods approach and normalisation process theory.
- Conducted in eight Swiss ICUs, the research involved 40 key clinical partners and utilized both qualitative group interviews and quantitative questionnaires to assess acceptability, feasibility, and appropriateness of the FSI at two different time points.
- Findings showed overall positive integration of the FSI with high acceptability but moderate feasibility, highlighting barriers such as limited capacity of family nurses and clinician attitudes, while leadership support and teamwork facilitated the process, leading to two adoption pathways.
Article Synopsis
- This study examined the effectiveness and reliability of study preregistration in psychology by analyzing 300 research studies to see how closely they followed their preregistered plans.
- The findings revealed that many preregistrations lacked essential methodological details and frequently deviated from their original plans, which suggests that research biases are still possible.
- To enhance the accuracy and utility of preregistration, the authors recommend improved training for researchers, more detailed registration templates, and better transparency in reporting deviations.
