Overview

Qualitative study demonstrates high acceptability and feasibility of structured vision assessments among stroke healthcare personnel, highlighting the need for integration into routine care pathways.

Key Points

Qualitatively evaluate implementation outcomes after introducing the structured KROSS visual assessment tool into stroke care and rehabilitation services.
Conducted four focus group interviews with healthcare personnel involved in implementing or utilizing the KROSS vision assessment tool.
Guided data collection and analysis using Proctor et al.'s implementation outcomes framework combined with deductive-inductive content analysis.
Healthcare personnel deemed the structured vision assessment acceptable and feasible, noting that regular use and supervision improved their clinical assessment skills.
Adoption was high within rehabilitation units focusing on functional capacity, but limited within home care services due to lower caseloads of stroke survivors.
Sustainable implementation depended on embedding the assessment into standard clinical routines and strengthening multidisciplinary collaboration with vision specialists.
