| Annotation | This article reports on the implementation of a physical activity (PA) scheme - Let's Motivate (LM) - within private care homes (CHs) in Dumfries and Galloway (D&G), Scotland. The aim is to provide an insight into the different factors which might contribute to the scheme's success and further sustainability. A qualitative study is described in which one-to-one semi-structured interviews were carried out with eight key staff involved in implementing the project within two purposively sampled CHs, in order to explore their views and experiences of implementation. The study provides an insight into the different factors which stand to both promote and impede the successful implementation of LM within the two CHs involved. Studies exploring the factors which can both promote and impede implementation are important, as they can help to usefully inform the implementation and sustainability of initiatives. (RH). |
