Key result
Systematic review identifies 40 contextual factors for scaling chronic disease rehabilitation in low-resource settings.
Why the study?
Chronic disease disproportionately affects low-resourced settings, driving a need to unpack contextual factors voiced by researchers reporting on rehabilitation interventions to scale effective care models.
Population
144 eligible articles reporting on rehabilitation interventions for chronic disease in low-resourced settings
Design
Systematic literature engagement with reflexive qualitative and systems thinking analysis

Informs context-specific scaling of rehabilitation services in low-resource settings; extends implementation science by mapping critical system-level factors.
Systematic Review (n=144)
This qualitative synthesis identified 40 contextual factors grouped into 9 subsystems that are critical for scaling up and optimizing rehabilitation programs for chronic diseases in low-resourced settings.
Heine et al. (2024) conducted a systematic review in Chronic disease (n=144). Rehabilitation scale-up was evaluated on Contextual factors for scale-up of rehabilitation. A thematic analysis of 144 articles identified 40 contextual factors, packaged into nine system elements, relevant to scaling up rehabilitation for chronic disease in low-resource settings.
