CFIR domaina | Facilitators | Barriers |
|---|---|---|
Intervention characteristics | • Persons experiencing homelessness are known to the social services so that the intervention can be potentially beneficial for them | • Telephone consultations and indirect consultations may have hindered the assessment of symptoms and the patients themselves by the consultant • Intervention is aimed at social services, while some persons experiencing homelessness do not reside within these services • Starting the intervention requires time and preparatory work, making it hard to involve new parties as well |
Outer setting |  | • Expanding and reaching additional social service professionals with the intervention is hard to accomplish |
Characteristics of individuals | • An enthusiastic and proactive consultant helps in reaching out to social service professionals and establishing intervention activities |  |
Process |  | • COVID-19 visiting restrictions and the heavy workload may have hindered efforts to reach persons experiencing homelessness and professionals providing palliative care to them |
