Table 1 Operational definitions of feasibility aspects related to intervention delivery [adapted from Bowen et al. [70]
Feasibility | Operational definition |
|---|---|
Acceptability | The extent to which HSE physiotherapists consider the intervention prototype acceptable and appropriate within their service context |
Demand | The extent to which HSE physiotherapists perceive the demand of delivering the intervention prototype, including identification of training needs |
The extent to which HSE physiotherapists perceive the demand of recruiting sufficient participants to the intervention within the feasibility trial | |
Practicality | The factors influencing the delivery of the intervention prototype in a range of HSE settings by a range of physiotherapists taking into account variations in staffing, equipment and facilities |
Adaptation | The extent to which the intervention prototype content and delivery will need to be modified to enhance its acceptability and implementation in the feasibility trial |
