Background A global trend is to move rehabilitation closer to people's neighborhoods and homes. Still, little attention has been given to how the built environment outside the hospital setting might impact rehabilitation and recovery for stroke survivors. Objective The overarching objective of this project is to develop conceptual models of built environments that support stroke rehabilitation and recovery outside the hospital setting. Specifically, the project will explore factors and characteristics of the built environment that support people with stroke and their families and identify innovative built environments that can be designed for local health care. The project will examine facilitators and obstacles for implementing built environmental solutions and evaluate the potential benefits, feasibility, and acceptability. Methods The project uses a mixed methods design approach with 3 phases. In phase 1, factors and characteristics of the built environment for rehabilitation will be identified. Based on the results from phase 1, phase 2 will involve co-designing prototypes of environments to support the rehabilitation process for people with stroke. Finally, the prototypes will be evaluated in phase 3. Qualitative and quantitative methods will include a literature review, a concept mapping (CM) study, stakeholder interviews, prototype development, and testing. The project will use multidimensional scaling, hierarchical cluster analysis, descriptive statistics for quantitative data, and content analysis for qualitative data. Location analysis will rely on the location-allocation model for network problems, and the rule-based analysis will be based on geographic information systems data. Results As of the submission of this protocol, ethical approval for the CM study and the interview study has been obtained. Data collection is planned to start in September 2023 and the workshops later in the same year. The scoping review is ongoing from January 2023. The CM study is ongoing and will be finalized in the spring of 2024. We expect to finish the data analysis in the second half of 2024. The project is a 3-year project and will continue until December 2025. Conclusions We aim to determine how new environments could better support a person’s control over their day, environment, goals, and ultimately control over their recovery and rehabilitation activities. This “taking charge” approach would have the greatest chance of transferring the care closer to the patient's home. By co-designing with multiple stakeholders, we aim to create solutions with the potential for rapid implementation. The project’s outcomes may target other people with frail health after a hospital stay or older persons in Sweden and anywhere else. The impact and social benefits include collaboration between important stakeholders to explore how new environments can support the transition to local health care, co-design, and test of new conceptual models of environments that can promote health and well-being for people post stroke.

“…Limitations of our reflexivity study included that the single reflective process was done two and a half years into the project. Ideally, interdisciplinary teams should periodically self-reflect throughout the project timeline to better understand shifts in perspectives, experiences and productivity over a long period (Wine et al, 2022). We also recognise our own biases, as team members analysing our reflections may influence the analysis, potentially leading to subjective interpretations.…”

“…Tuckman's widely embraced model of group development integrates group structure observations with taskactivity processes, summarised as Forming, Storming, Norming, and Performing (Tuckman, 1965), with a final stage, Adjourning, added later (Tuckman & Jensen, 1977). In comparison, Wine et al (2022) focused on collaborative research processes, proposing eight essential components for successful outcomes (see Table 1, in the Findings section), which are also applicable to interdisciplinary research teams, and which we propose can underpin successful transition through Tuckman's stages. Group tasks and social dynamics are understood to significantly impact project outcomes (Collins & Guetzkow, 1964), and while team outputs are a natural focus of group research, interpersonal relationships can underpin team success and the construction of collective intelligence (Love et al, 2021).…”

“…Interpersonal relationships take time to develop, and people are likely to develop positive affect towards one another over time (Moreland & Beach, 1992), positively impacting project outcomes (Thye et al, 2019). The negotiation of challenges depends on a management style that is communicative, inclusive, and attentive; this supports alignment processes while increasing transparency, trust, and individual growth (Wine et al, 2022).…”

This case study evaluates the interdisciplinary experiences of a research team producing a digital education tool. It proposes important considerations for successful collaboration and group development, which can lead to beneficial and deeper long-term partnerships across faculties within an institution. The study suggests value in using components of collaborative research to reflect on group development and progress. In alignment with the literature, it was found that time is essential for creativity, innovation, and group performance, which are successful products of both interpersonal and task-activity aspects of interdisciplinary collaborations. Challenges and impacts on group morale can be ameliorated by factors such as operational strategies, a sense of shared ownership and personal value to the project. The long-term benefits of fostering deeper interdisciplinary partnerships are briefly explored.

“…Furthermore, the absence of top management commitment (B7) is addressed by collaborative decision-making [121][122][123], efficient communication, and awareness campaign principles [124,125]. These promote human-centric ecosystems, encouraging shared management and commitment from top-level executives.…”

This study fills a crucial gap in the research on Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), with the main objective of proposing a framework to support the integration of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) and sustainability into the supply chains of MSMEs. This integration is accomplished by people, process, and technology (PPT) mechanisms, all while adopting the triple bottom line (TBL) perspective. A mixed-method approach was employed for this study, which included a scoping review of 147 publications, expert panels, focus groups, and a survey with 55 valid responses. The findings identified 32 key indicators linked to the primary barriers and enablers of I4.0 and sustainability integration (S-I4.0) in MSMEs’ supply chains. This study also highlighted the dominant barriers and enablers within the PPT mechanisms and TBL dimensions, and their causal relationships and influences. The results were synthesized into a novel S-I4.0 framework, separately applied to Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) and Medium Enterprises (MEs) due to company size-related variations. This study offers valuable insights for academics and provides practical guidelines to assist MSMEs in integrating I4.0 and sustainability into their supply chains. An important contribution concerns to the need to treat MSEs and MEs differently. These research results provide relevant and novel guidance for MSEs and MEs to accelerate the S-I4.0 adoption process, with an immediate impact on their supply chains.
