Workshop Exploring the Theoretical Domains Framework in Behaviour Change Research

 

Behaviour change is key to increasing the uptake of evidence into healthcare practice and improving health outcomes. A variety of psychological theories have been used to explain health care professional behaviours and cognitions across a range of behaviours and settings. However, the large number of theories and overlapping constructs presents a challenge for knowing how to select and apply theories when exploring specific behaviours. The Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) was developed to make theories more accessible for implementation researchers (see http://www.implementationscience.com/series/TDF for more details of TDF and its use). This workshop led by internationally leading faculty will introduce TDF and its use in Knowledge Translation research.

Learning Objectives: At the end of the workshop participants were able to:
  • Describe the origins of the Theoretical Domains Framework and identify the component domains and constructs.
  • Identify at least three different ways in which the Theoretical Domains Framework can be operationalized in behaviour change research.
  • Develop a strategy for using the Theoretical Domains Framework to support some aspect of their behaviour change research.
  • Identify resources and strategies to support their ongoing learning about the Theoretical Domains Framework.
