The use of an implementation science theoretical framework to inform the development of a region wide Positive Behavioural Support Workforce Development approach
- Authors:
- MCKENZIE Karen, et al
- Journal article citation:

- Publisher:
- Wiley
Background: Concern about the poor care of some people with an intellectual disability has highlighted the need for systemic, large‐scale interventions to develop a skilled workforce. Method: We outline how an implementation science theoretical model informed the development of a region‐wide Positive Behavioural Support (PBS) Workforce Development (WFD) approach. Results: We provide an example of the application of the model in practice and demonstrate how this enabled us to understand the competencies and development needs of the workforce; engage effectively with stakeholders; and develop, deliver and evaluate a PBS WFD model. Conclusion: The application of the model helped us to identify, prioritise, and address the multiple and complex factors that were relevant to the implementation of the PBS WFD approach.

The development of staff through initial training followed by supervision and other forms of continuing professional development (CPD) is an increasingly emphasized part of professional life, and of modern healthcare and education systems (e.g., British Psychological Society, 2004; Department of Health, 2004; Quality Assurance Agency, 2003). In turn, evaluation is recognized to be an integral phase in the staff development cycle. However, how best to evaluate staff development activities is less apparent: different agencies, trainers and researchers each focus on their own idiosyncratic factors. Such diversity must hamper progress, by diminishing consensus material, diluting model development, and in disabling comparative evaluations. The present paper addresses this diversity problem by synthesizing a wide range of the relevant evaluation models and methods, in order to produce a theoretical consensus on what constitutes the fundamental or essential evaluation of staff development. The value of this SCOPPE framework is illustrated in relation to a sample literature (psychosocial interventions training of mental health staff in the UK). This essential SCOPPE framework can highlight the strengths and weaknesses of current practice in staff development. Practice-improvement implications are drawn about the importance of undertaking essential evaluations.

Leadership in voluntary associations: the case of the 'International Association of Women'

Three models of leadership in voluntary associations have been proposed in the literature: democratic leadership, oligarchy, and leadership by default. Through an intensive case study of leadership structure, differences in the attitudes of members and leaders at three hierarchical levels, and differences between the attitudes and behaviours of aspirants and nonaspirants to leadership in a women's service association, this article examines the degree of fit between these models and a specific organisation. Data is drawn from questionnaires, annual reports, and interviews. The results fail to conform to any of the existing models, suggesting instead a fourth model, leadership for self-development - in which leaders are motivated primarily by a desire to develop administrative and interpersonal skills.
