Summary
Qualitative process evaluation nested within a cluster-randomised trial of Alberta Family Integrated Care (AB-FICare) across ten level II NICUs in Alberta, Canada. Interviews with 32 healthcare providers and administrators were analysed using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. Facilitators included a receptive implementation climate, compatibility with existing practice, resources, and stakeholder engagement; barriers included intervention design and packaging, competing priorities and organisational learning climate. The authors recommend site-specific consultations to address local barriers when implementing family integrated care.
