“…Five studies used qualitative designs involving interviews (Gauvreau et al., 2019; Hallé et al., 2014; Shrubsole et al., 2019; Sorin‐Peters, 2004; Wielaert et al., 2017) and four studies used primarily quantitative survey designs (Blom Johansson et al., 2012; Chang et al., 2018; Guo et al., 2014; Wielaert et al., 2016). The remaining eight studies used mixed‐methods approaches of varying types, including: a survey followed by one or more focus groups (Beckley et al., 2017; Law et al., 2010; Sirman et al., 2017), a focus group followed by a survey (Turner & Whitworth, 2006), a survey with detailed qualitative and quantitative components (Johansson et al., 2011), and studies that integrated qualitative and quantitative elements within a case study or case series (Blom Johansson et al., 2013; Sorin‐Peters & Patterson, 2014) or implementation evaluation (Wielaert et al., 2018).…”

Background: Factors influencing the implementation of communication partner training (CPT) with familiar partners of people with aphasia (PWA) have previously been documented using disparate approaches. To date there has been no synthesis of these factors using a common theoretical framework. Investigating CPT implementation factors using a common theoretical framework may further our understanding of universal barriers and guide future development of tailored, theoretically informed implementation strategies. Aims:(1) To determine the perceived and/or observed barriers and facilitators to implementing CPT with familiar partners of adults with aphasia; (2) to map extracted barriers and facilitators to a common theoretical framework;(3) to synthesize extracted barriers and facilitators; and (4) to identify potential implementation strategies to address the most frequently identified barriers and facilitators. Methods & Procedures: A systematic review was conducted in accordance withPreferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Four electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Web of Science) were systematically searched in April 2021. Empirical qualitative and/or quantitative research studies reporting barriers/facilitators to speech-language therapists (SLTs) implementing CPT with familiar partners of adults with aphasia were included. The search was limited to English or French articles with no date limit applied. Methodological quality of included studies was assessed using the Mixed-Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT). A framework and content analysis was then conducted to extract and synthesize the implementation factors in alignment with the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF), followed by a theoretically informed mapping exercise to identify potential implementation strategies.

“…A systematic review reports that partners improve their communicative skills after CPT and PWA show greater competence in conversations with trained conversation partners [36]. In order to fill the practice-evidence gap, a UK CPT package 'Supporting Partners and People with Aphasia in Relationships and Conversation' (SPPARC) [37] was adapted for Dutch clinical practice into the 'Partners of Aphasic clients Conversation Training' (PACT) [38]. The theory, structure and methods of SPPARC are reflected in PACT, though practice content (e.g.…”

“…This paper reports the results from the rehabilitation professionals involved in the implementation of PACT when it was widened out beyond one institution and looks at facilitators and barriers for its uptake as perceived by these service providers. A description of the characteristics of the service users who engaged with PACT and the partners' experience with this training programme has been reported elsewhere [3] [39]. Three research questions address the implementation of PACT, while the fourth research question addresses the method of implementation used: …”

ImPACT: a multifaceted implementation for conversation partner training in aphasia inDutch rehabilitation settings. AbstractPurpose: Exploration of the clinical uptake of a novel conversation partner training (CPT) programme in aphasia in ten Dutch rehabilitation facilities and identification of its perceived facilitators and barriers in service providers, and the evaluation of the implementation methods used. Method:Ten rehabilitation centres took part in a multifaceted implementation of conversation partner training over thirteen months. Each centre selected two speech and language therapists to act as knowledge brokers whose role it was to raise awareness of CPT in the team and to facilitate getting partners of people with aphasia into the programme. The implementation was evaluated using analysis of recruitment data and questionnaires, supplemented by consensus data and scrutiny of implementation plans.Results: Successful implementation was described as 1) four dyads included during the intervention period, 2) two more dyads included after the intervention period, before the end of the study and 3) inclusion of Partners of Aphasic Clients Conversation Training (PACT) in a description of the logistics of local stroke care (stroke care pathway). Seven centres were successful in reaching the target inclusion of 6 dyads in total. Only one centre had care pathways in place. From a recruitment pool of 504 dyads, 41 dyads were recruited and 34 partners completed the implementation of PACT study (ImPACT). Observed facilitators included the motivation to engage partners in the rehabilitation process and the perceived added value of PACT. The perceived barriers focused on time limitations within current systems to discuss the consequences of PACT with relevant professionals and to establish allocated time for PACT within existing care routines. Conclusions:The motivation of professionals to involve partners in the rehabilitation process assisted with the introduction of PACT in practice. The main barrier was time, linked to the requirement to think through integration of this innovation within existing care. Longer term evaluation would ascertain how centres sustain uptake without support.

La competencia comunicativa del interlocutor puede influir en la participación social de la persona con afasia (PCA). Este estudio analiza los efectos de un programa de formación en interlocutores desconocidos de una PCA dentro de un entorno natural, mediante un enfoque basado en la interacción. Se grabó en video a una PCA agramática en seis situaciones de compra dentro de un mercado, antes y después de una formación proporcionada a tres vendedores voluntarios (I1, I2 e I3) sin conocimientos previos de afasia. Mediante análisis conversacional, se identificaron 9 conductas comunicativas en los interlocutores y se puntuaron las interacciones con escalas funcionales. Existe una estructura conversacional típica, pero con variaciones individuales y entre interacciones, dependientes del contexto. Tras la formación, se aprecian cambios cualitativos en la frecuencia de uso de estrategias no verbales en todos los vendedores. Asimismo, I2 e I3 incorporaron la estrategia de retoma y las facilitaciones semánticas, respectivamente. Los resultados también muestran diferencias significativas en la competencia comunicativa de los vendedores, de manera general e individual. Igualmente, la PCA mejora el nivel de participación conversacional tanto en los actos interaccionales como transaccionales, iniciando nuevos temas en las tres interacciones. Este tipo de intervención requiere tiempo, conocimientos del contexto y organización para llevarse a cabo. El análisis de las interacciones con personas desconocidas durante la actividad de la compra puede orientar a los logopedas sobre los aspectos relevantes de la intervención dirigida a apoyar la participación social de sus pacientes con afasia.
