Organisational context survey

A survey issued to hospital (diabetes service) staff before participating in a tailoring process to develop strategies to enhance the implementation of a structured diabetes education programme for people with type 1 diabetes, called DAFNE (Dose Adjustment for Normal Eating). Participants are asked to complete this survey to describe the characteristics of their DAFNE site. The survey (version 1) includes items to assess inner setting measures as per the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) (culture, learning climate, implementation climate, leadership, available resources). For sites which are new to implementing DAFNE, the survey (version 2) also includes questions about their readiness for implementation.

As part of this survey, staff are asked to consider a list of determinants, indicate whether each determinant is a barrier or enabler at their site, and to supplement or remove determinants from this list as they relate to their experience of implementation. This list is based on rapid evidence review of the existing literature on the implementation of structured diabetes education programmes.
