Reablement is a short-term intensive interdisciplinary approach to providing health care at home, with a focus on older adults post-hospitalization. Reablement emphasizes a person's autonomy and independence, but the model may pose implementation challenges within a team-based setting. To mitigate these factors requires a consistent training program (for fidelity) to adopt the concept of reablement, and develop skills and knowledge. To create an acceptable, feasible, and effective knowledge strategy requires co-designing the curriculum with the end users.
This study, grounded in behaviour change theory, is designed to work with frontline clinicians and researchers, to create a blended curriculum of online training, video scenarios, and group-based work. We will work within our established clinical academic partnership, to develop the curriculum over 12 months via a series of monthly webinars from experts in the clinical and research fields on topics related to delivering reablement. During the webinars, a facilitator will synthesize information on ways to strengthen team-based practice, maintain fidelity to the model, and support older adults' autonomy and independence.
We anticipate the following outcomes from this collaboration: a co-created curriculum of reablement, a consensus statement on behavior change strategies for reablement, KT capacity building for trainees, peer-reviewed publications, and a research agenda for next steps to advance reablement in BC.
