Practical Implications

The job demands-resources (JD-R) model provides a well-validated account of how job resources and job demands influence work engagement, burnout, and their constituent dimensions. The present study aimed to extend previous research by including challenge demands not widely examined in the context of the JD-R. Furthermore, and extending self-determination theory, the research also aimed to investigate the potential mediating effects that employees’ need satisfaction as regards their need for autonomy, need for belongingness, need for competence, and need for achievement, as components of a higher order needs construct, may have on the relationships between job demands and engagement. Structural equations modeling across two independent samples generally supported the proposed relationships. Further research opportunities, practical implications, and study limitations are discussed.

Abstract Background: Theory-based implementation strategies, such as audit and feedback (A&F), can improve adoption of evidence-based practices. However, few strategies have been developed and tested to meet the needs of specialty clinics. In particular, frontline staff can execute CVD risk-reduction protocols, but A&F strategies to support them have not been well examined. Our objective was to develop and evaluate a novel A&F strategy, Interactive Participatory A&F (IPAF). Methods: We developed IPAF by combining theories to inform staff goals (Self-Regulation Theory) and address their psychological needs for relatedness, autonomy, and confidence (Self-Determination Theory). We facilitated IPAF fidelity by developing a theory-based facilitation tool: a semi-structured worksheet to guide flexible discussion of target behaviors, perceived barriers, goals, and action plans. We evaluated IPAF in the context of eight quasi-experimental implementations in specialty clinics across two health systems. Following a Hybrid Type 2 effectiveness-implementation design, we reported intervention outcomes for CVD risk-reduction elsewhere. This paper reports implementation outcomes associated with IPAF, focusing on feasibility, acceptability, fidelity, and adoption. We evaluated implementation outcomes using mixed-methods data including Electronic Health Records (EHR) data, team records, IPAF worksheets, and staff questionnaire responses. Results: Eighteen staff participated in 99 monthly, individual, synchronous (face-to-face or by phone) IPAF sessions during the first six months of implementation. Subsequently, we provided over 375 monthly feedback emails. Feasibility data revealed high staff attendance (90-93%) and engagement in IPAF sessions. Staff rated questionnaire items about acceptability of IPAF highly. IPAF records and staff responses demonstrated fidelity of delivery and receipt of IPAF. Adoption of target behaviors increased significantly (all P-values < 0.05) and was maintained for over 24 months. Conclusions: We developed and evaluated an interactive participatory A&F strategy with frontline staff in specialty clinics to improve implementation of evidence-based interventions. The IPAF toolkit combines two complementary theories: Self-Regulation Theory and Self-Determination Theory. Findings support feasibility, acceptability, and fidelity of IPAF, and staff adoption and maintenance of target behaviors. By evaluating multi-site implementation outcomes, we have extended prior research on clinic protocols and A&F beyond primary care settings and providers.

Sharing Behavior

As an essential group in knowledge innovation, researchers are encouraged to exchange ideas with each other for further brainstorm through advanced communication technology. However, efficient online knowledge sharing among researchers is still limited. Although past literature proposes a series of motivators of online knowledge sharing, the differences in the effects of motivators remain in dispute. Thus, it is time to understand how motivators influence each other and inspire scientists to share knowledge and promote virtual communities. Based on the self-determination theory, this study proposes a model with several factors and analyze 301 Chinese researchers' data in an online WeChat cross-disciplinary research community by adopting SmartPls 2.0 and SPSS 22. The results reveal the effects of several antecedents and mediating effects of altruism and knowledge sharing behavior and report the differences of results among different demographic groups. This study enriches the literature in knowledge sharing on social media and proposes further research points to researchers and useful advice to practitioners.

Maternal Autonomy

This study examined parenting factors associated with children’s self-regulation and physician-rated treatment adherence using a self-determination theory framework in pediatric chronic headache. Participants were 58 children and adolescents (aged 10–17 years), who underwent initial and follow-up multidisciplinary evaluation at a headache clinic, and their mothers. Regression analyses showed that higher maternal autonomy support and structure were significantly related to children’s lower treatment-related reactance and higher adherence. Maternal controllingness had associations in the opposite directions. Children’s fear of pain was related to maternal controllingness. Results suggest the importance of parents’ provision of clear expectations and engaging children in treatment problem-solving and decision-making.
