Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Identification of barriers and facilitators influencing the implementation of metformin as first-line pharmacological treatment for GDM, based on perspectives of healthcare professionals and patients.Mapping of all determinants to the CFIR domains and constructs: intervention characteristics, outer setting, inner setting, characteristics of individuals, implementation process (see Inteview topic list).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary endpoints focus implementation-relevant perceptions and contextual determinants, aligned with CFIR constructs:Acceptability, perceived advantages/disadvantages, and perceived burden of metformin vs. insulin (intervention characteristics: evidence strength, relative advantage, complexity).Patient needs, resources, and equity considerations (outer setting: patient needs, resources).Implementation climate including compatibility with current practice, incentives, and goals (inner setting: implementation climate).Readiness for implementation, including available resources, leadership engagement, structural support (inner setting: readiness for implementation).Communication, collaboration, and workflow organization, across the care chain and between disciplines (inner setting, implementation process).Task shifting and redistribution of roles between care providers (inner setting, implementation process).Perceived financial/logistic implications, including perceived costs and workload (intervention characteristics, outer setting, inner setting).
