“…The implementation qualities that were most frequently reported were those concerning resources (including time constraints, financial constraints, and technical difficulties) and providers’ attitudes towards measures. These findings could explain why missing responses were reported in some of the studies included in this review (Arends et al ., 2014; Chesworth et al ., 2015; Dubbert, Cooper, Kirchner, Meydrech, & Bilbrew, 2002; Thyrian et al ., 2010) and health care research (Shrive et al ., 2006). Providers may not return audio‐recordings (Weissman, Rounsaville, & Chevron, 1982) or checklists, if they feel uncomfortable with audio‐recording or if they are overwhelmed with paperwork.…”

PurposeUnderstanding the effectiveness of complex, face‐to‐face health behaviour change interventions requires high‐quality measures to assess fidelity of delivery and engagement. This systematic review aimed to (1) identify the types of measures used to monitor fidelity of delivery of, and engagement with, complex, face‐to‐face health behaviour change interventions and (2) describe the reporting of psychometric and implementation qualities.MethodsElectronic databases were searched, systematic reviews and reference lists were hand‐searched, and 21 experts were contacted to identify articles. Studies that quantitatively measured fidelity of delivery of, and/or engagement with, a complex, face‐to‐face health behaviour change intervention for adults were included. Data on interventions, measures, and psychometric and implementation qualities were extracted and synthesized using narrative analysis.ResultsSixty‐six studies were included: 24 measured both fidelity of delivery and engagement, 20 measured fidelity of delivery, and 22 measured engagement. Measures of fidelity of delivery included observation (n = 17; 38.6%), self‐report (n = 15; 34%), quantitatively rated qualitative interviews (n = 1; 2.3%), or multiple measures (n = 11; 25%). Measures of engagement included self‐report (n = 18; 39.1%), intervention records (n = 11; 24%), or multiple measures (n = 17; 37%). Fifty‐one studies (77%) reported at least one psychometric or implementation quality; 49 studies (74.2%) reported at least one psychometric quality, and 17 studies (25.8%) reported at least one implementation quality.ConclusionFewer than half of the reviewed studies measured both fidelity of delivery of, and engagement with complex, face‐to‐face health behaviour change interventions. More studies reported psychometric qualities than implementation qualities. Interpretation of intervention outcomes from fidelity of delivery and engagement measurements may be limited due to a lack of reporting of psychometric and implementation qualities. Statement of contribution What is already known on this subject? Evidence of fidelity and engagement is needed to understand effectiveness of complex interventionsEvidence of fidelity and engagement are rarely reportedHigh‐quality measures are needed to measure fidelity and engagement What does this study add? Evidence that indicators of quality of measures are reported in some studiesEvidence that psychometric qualities are reported more frequently than implementation qualitiesA recommendation for intervention evaluations to report indicators of quality of fidelity and engagement measures

Aims Heart failure chiefly affects the elderly, with frequent emergency admissions. Telemonitoring can identify worsening heart failure but previous randomized trials have enrolled selected patient populations. The Home‐HF study examined the impact of home telemonitoring on typical heart failure patients discharged from three acute hospitals in North West London, UK. Methods and results Patients hospitalized with heart failure were randomized to telemonitoring or usual specialist care. Primary outcome measures were days alive and out of hospital. Secondary outcome measures were number and duration of heart failure hospitalizations, clinic visits, and quality of life. We recruited 182 patients. There was no difference in the primary outcome measure in the two groups, but there were significantly fewer unplanned hospitalizations for heart failure decompensation, and a reduction in clinic and emergency room visits in the telemonitoring group. There was no statistically significant difference in the mean direct health service costs. Conclusion Home telemonitoring in a typical elderly population of heart failure patients produces a similar outcome to ‘usual’ specialist care, but reduces clinic and emergency room visits and unplanned heart failure rehospitalizations at little additional cost. This method of disease monitoring may allow specialist services to increase the number of patients under their care.

“…In order to maintain the quality of the data, ten participants who failed to fill in more than 60% of the total number of items in the JW-DEQ, the IES-R, or the Short-form MPQ were excluded from the subsequent analyses. Little's missing completely at random test (MCAR) test was not significant (p = 0.695), thus the mean for an item across the entire sample (question mean) was applied in such cases (Little, 1988;Shrive et al, 2003). Therefore, the data of 238 (51%) women were included in the Structural regression analysis (primiparas n = 138, multiparas n = 100).…”

“…Fourth, after examining Little's MCAR test (Little, 1988) a single imputation method instead of a multiple one was employed in the present analysis. Although the authors considered that the single imputation method was an optimal solution, it is often claimed that with this method the distribution of values moves to the centre due to substituted values, which may lead to bias (Shrive, 2003).…”

Etiology of postnatal trauma 2 Highlights We studied fear of childbirth (FOC) & traumatic stress due to childbirth in Japan  Higher antenatal FOC was associated with traumatic stress symptoms after childbirth  FOC in primiparas was associated with a history of mental illness and lower income  Lower satisfaction with a previous birth was associated with FOC in multiparas Etiology of postnatal trauma 4
