Potential Applications of Realist Methodologies to Implementation Science Research
There is a growing demand for more focus on developing and testing theories in implementation science (IS). This involves creating and testing theories about the different dynamics contributing to implementation strategies’ success or failure in different settings. While the application of realist methodologies is gaining traction in IS, their contributions to the field have not been explicitly articulated. To this end, we highlight six potential…
Bringing together realist and economic approaches in the evaluation of health and social care interventions
BACKGROUND: In the evaluation of complex interventions, economic evaluations aim to determine the relative cost-effectiveness of interventions but generate little explanation of how or why contexts and underlying causal mechanisms impact this. Conversely, realist approaches aim to explain 'what works, for whom, in which circumstances and why' but rarely capture the economic costs and consequences of interventions. As a result, many evaluations re…
Realist evaluation of a CBT-based stress management intervention for Danish patients on sick leave due to work-related stress
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is the most widely used stress management intervention for work-related stress, however the effect on return to work is unclear. Further, there is a lack of knowledge about the mechanisms and contexts that make CBT interventions work (or not). This project aims to use a realist evaluation approach to explore the outcomes of a stress management intervention at a Danish Occupational Health Clinic and to understan…
A critical exploration of professional jurisdictions and role boundaries in inter-professional end-of-life care in the community

Exposing the impact of intensive advice services on health
Attention has turned to welfare advice as a potential health and social care intervention. However, establishing direct evidence of health impact has proven difficult. This is compounded by the need to understand both the facilitative contexts and mechanisms through which this impact occurs. This study investigated if, how and in which circumstances an intensive advice service had an impact on stress and well-being (as precursors to health impact…
