The aim of this article is to develop an Implementation Readiness (ImpRess) checklist, that includes criteria deemed useful in measuring readiness for implementation and apply it to trials of cognitive stimulation in dementia, providing a systematic review of their readiness for widespread implementation. Methods Five electronic databases were searched. After initial screening of papers, two reviewers assessed quality and scored the included studies based on the ImpRess checklist specifically developed for this review. Results Twenty studies met the inclusion criteria. As determined by the ImpRess checklist, scores ranged from 11 to 29 out of 52. According to the checklist the most comprehensive and ready to implement version of cognitive stimulation was Cognitive Stimulation Therapy. Conclusions Reports of interventions rarely include consideration of implementation in practice. Contrary to the growing number of reporting guidelines, crucial items within the ImpRess checklist have been frequently overlooked. This study was able to show that the ImpRess checklist was feasible in practice and reliable. The checklist may be useful in evaluating readiness for implementation for other manualised interventions. date: 2016-12-01 date_type: published publisher: BIOMED CENTRAL LTD official_url: https://dx.doi.org/10.1186/s12874-016-0268-2 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub pmcid: PMC5131468 language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type_text: Review verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1196314 doi: 10.1186/s12874-016-0268-2 language_elements: eng lyricists_name: Orrell, Martin William lyricists_name: Spector, Aimee lyricists_name: Stansfeld, Jacki lyricists_id: MWORR48 lyricists_id: AESPE69 lyricists_id: RUTHE37 full_text_status: public publication: BMC MEDICAL RESEARCH METHODOLOGY volume: 16 article_number: 167 pages: 9 issn: 1471-2288 citation: Streater, A; Spector, A; Aguirre, E; Stansfeld, J; Orrell, M; (2016) ImpRess: an Implementation Readiness checklist developed using a systematic review of randomised controlled trials assessing cognitive stimulation for dementia.
