Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary outcomes include the proportion of neurological patients (in %) for whom the use of the DEMMI was documented in the patient records, documented initial and final DEMMI scores, number and listing of neurological diagnoses in which the DEMMI was applied, therapists’ knowledge and attitudes towards the DEMMI, and therapists’ self-confidence in using the DEMMI. In addition, a quantitative process evaluation will capture the following aspects: dissemination of training materials (workshop participation and access frequency to online training materials), self-reported frequency of DEMMI use, barriers to DEMMI application during the intervention, and satisfaction with the intervention measures. | — |
