Introduction
Physical activity (PA) levels for individuals who have recently incurred a spinal cord injury (SCI) peak during inpatient rehabilitation and sharply decline after discharge (1).This is unsurprising given the substantial readjustment period experienced by individuals with SCI during the transition from hospital to the community.However, patients are often motivated from seeing their progress during the rehabilitation process, leading to greater interest and commitment to being active post-discharge (2).As such, it has been suggested to promote PA immediately following discharge (2).PA interventions that address the unique needs of people with SCI during the transition between hospital to community are crucial yet understudied.
A limited number of studies have examined the effects of PA interventions at the point of discharge among people with SCI.For example, in the ReSpAct trial, PA counseling was implemented by physiotherapists or sport therapists in 18 rehabilitation centers located throughout the Netherlands (3).Prior to being discharged, patients had an initial PA consultation and subsequently received counseling for 13-weeks post-discharge from trained PA counselors.Patients with diverse disabilities (∼2% with SCI) who participated in the program exhibited an increase in their PA and sport participation levels following discharge from rehabilitation.Similarly, an intervention in the Netherlands initiated PA counseling during rehabilitation that was continued by physiotherapists or occupational therapists for 3-months after discharge and demonstrated small to medium-sized effects on PA behavior among those living with subacute SCI (4).These findings are promising; however, clinician time is often limited making the feasibility and scalability of therapist-delivered interventions challenging.There is value in examining other interventionist groups to continue PA counseling post-discharge.
The ProACTIVE SCI intervention is a PA counseling intervention that was co-developed by ∼300 end-users including healthcare providers and people with SCI.This intervention has previously demonstrated very large effect sizes for increasing PA behavior that were sustained over 6 months in the research setting (5).The intervention was co-developed with both physiotherapists (community, in-patient, and out-patient) and people with SCI who shared their lived experiences of PA across the rehabilitation continuum.Given the need for PA interventions during the transition from rehabilitation to community, we wanted to explore the adoption of the ProACTIVE SCI when delivered by clinicians and peers across this transition.SCI peers and health service providers have been identified as preferred messengers of PA information (6).SCI peers can communicate the lived experience of a SCI and help those with a new SCI improve or maintain their PA behavior in the community-setting (7).Further, research has shown peerdelivered PA interventions to be as effective as professionally delivered interventions for increasing PA (8).Physiotherapists have the knowledge and confidence to prescribe exercise and encourage their patients to lead physically active lives (9).To date, no studies have explored the implementation of a coordinated, clinician-to-peer PA counseling service at the point of discharge.
Evaluation frameworks can be used to support implementation through systematic development and evaluation of programs and interventions.A widely used evaluation tool is the RE-AIM framework, which assesses the impact of an intervention across five domains: reach (the percentage of individuals who receive or are affected by a program), effectiveness (the positive and negative consequences of a program), adoption (the proportion of settings of intervention agents that adopt a policy or program), implementation (the extent to which a program is delivered as intended or clients' use of the intervention and implementation strategies), and maintenance (the extent to which a behavior or program becomes routine or maintained over time) (10).This framework was developed to evaluate the impact of public health programs, and now is widely used in many contexts as both a planning and evaluation guide for community interventions at the individual and community level (11).The RE-AIM framework has also been previously used to evaluate PA behavior change interventions (12).Using the RE-AIM framework, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance of an evidence-based PA intervention for people with SCI delivered by physiotherapists and SCI peer coaches during the transition from rehabilitation to community.

Participants
Interventionists (physiotherapists and SCI peer mentors/SCI peer coaches) were recruited via email from a rehabilitation hospital (GF Strong) and provincial SCI organization (Spinal Cord Injury BC) in Vancouver, BC, Canada.Relevant staff physiotherapists (i.e., those working in the spine or neuromusculoskeletal unit) and SCI peer staff members were contacted by each site's leadership [participant recruitment has been described previously in Ma et al. (5)].

Study design
This study used a hybrid implementation-effectiveness study design which is the simultaneous testing of an implementation strategy and a clinical intervention (13).A single-group withinsubjects, repeated measures design was used.Details of the study design have been previously reported (14).The implementation evaluation is discussed here.The effectiveness (clinical) study evaluates the impact of the ProACTIVE SCI Intervention on patient PA levels and is reported elsewhere (Olsen et al., in preparation).Ethics approval for the protocol was granted by the Behavioral Research Ethics Board at the University of British Columbia (H19-02694).

Implementation intervention
Physiotherapists and SCI peer coaches received an initial, in-person 2-h training (March 2020) on how to deliver the ProACTIVE SCI intervention and were provided with PA counseling forms tailored for each setting.A follow-up twohour training session for dedicated practice and feedback was conducted 1 month later.It was intended to be conducted inperson, but was conducted via Zoom due to the restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic.Physiotherapists and SCI peer coaches who attended the initial training session were supported by activities delivered by the champions (dedicated individuals who facilitate implementation) including monitoring, feedback, prompts to continue PA counseling, and problem solving.A prompt was added to physiotherapists' patient-oriented discharge summaries to cue the PA conversation as part of their typical workflow.A third training session (November 2020) was added to re-launch the study after research activities were halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic.Four follow-up training/community of practice sessions were completed over the course of 2 years.See Ma et al. (14) for further details.

Physical activity counseling and referral procedure
Following the initial training, physiotherapists conducted PA counseling sessions with patients during rehabilitation.Briefly, counseling sessions, grounded in motivational interviewing and the Health Action Process Approach model, involved a discussion to understand client's readiness for PA, goals, barriers, activity preferences, and access to PA resources to then co-develop a PA plan (15,16).During initial sessions physiotherapists completed a PA counseling form, which was forwarded to SCI peer coaches who would continue counseling sessions with patients for 1-year post-discharge in the community.However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, counseling in the community did not occur for a 10-month period (March 2020-November 2020).Physiotherapists continued to send PA counseling referrals during this time, but all counseling was delayed in accordance with Public Health recommendations.In November of 2020 the study was re-launched to include the SCI peer coach PA counseling, and the first community counseling session delivered by a SCI peer coach took place in January 2021.

RE-AIM
The RE-AIM framework was used to guide the evaluation of the reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance of the intervention.Descriptions of the RE-AIM elements and how these data were operationalized are described in Table 1.

Client discharge summaries
Client discharge summaries (CDS) were reviewed by physiotherapist champions to monitor which patients received PA counseling and determine intervention reach.Physiotherapists documented the date the form was completed, if a PA counseling conversation was offered (Yes/No), and reasons as to why PA conversations did not occur (if applicable).The total number of patients who received a full or partial PA conversation (numerator), was divided by the total number of patients with SCI admitted to the rehabilitation hospital during the study duration (denominator) to determine a reach percentage.

Semi-structured interviews
Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted over the phone or via Zoom 6-months post training with physiotherapists and SCI peer coaches.Implementation interventions require researchers to strategically combine and borrow from established qualitative approaches to meet the specific needs of the study, which is inherently pragmatic in nature (17).Therefore, a pragmatic qualitative approach was used, in which emphasis is placed on the intersubjectivity of findings (i.e., the idea that there is neither complete objectivity nor subjectivity when interpreting results) (18).Further, a pragmatic approach allowed us to prioritize the translation, co-production of knowledge, and applicability of findings to real world settings (18).Interviews explored factors that affected the effectiveness (i.e., patient benefits), implementation (i.e., intervention timing, feasibility, and impact on interventionist time) and maintenance of the intervention (e.g., program sustainability and scale-up to other rehabilitation centers).Analysis of implementation barriers and facilitators reported in these interviews is reported elsewhere (Lin et al., in preparation).Interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim using Zoom audio transcription software.Zoom-produced transcripts were manually checked by the first author (KO) for accuracy.Interviews were coded using an iterative inductive content analysis approach to map onto the elements within the RE-AIM framework (19).NVivo was used to code transcripts (KO).Codes were then compared by a co-author (JM) to provide feedback and engage in discussion to refine the codes.Member checking was used to confirm and refine the interpretation of the findings.

Training attendance sheets
The number of staff who were eligible to participate in the ProACTIVE SCI training was collected using recall from the physiotherapist clinical practice lead (CC-L) at the rehabilitation hospital and the executive director of the provincial SCI peer organization (CM) to determine intervention adoption.The number of interventionists attending the training was collected using attendance sheets.Adoption was calculated by taking the number of interventionists who attended the training sessions (numerator), compared to the total number of individuals who were eligible to attend the training sessions (denominator).

"I like the idea of having periodic meetings I can't remember what we call them, but we have meetings lunch meetings where [team member] comes in and sort of gives people a little bit of a refresher on the conversation." -Julia (physiotherapist) "I think just the practice is helpful like what we'll do on the 24th similar to last time, because yeah, all the things we've done the number one thing with the team liked was actually sitting down and trying to do the coaching." -Rebecca (SCI peer coach) "I like the sheet or like just a framework of clients verbalizing what their expectations are and intentions are and what they are planning I think it's a good conversation, and so having the sheets or like a framework to go through is valuable. Just so you have what's in your mind and verbalize it and write it down. So, it's a bit more of kind of really flushing out what someone's plan is afterwards, and they can get a better understanding of it. There is value in that." -Sharon (physiotherapist)
Pseudonyms were used as place holders for participant names.ProACTIVE SCI intervention components (i.e., discuss current PA levels, goal setting, PA preferences, resources, barriers, and conduct problem-solving and action planning) with patients prior to discharge.SCI peer coaches completed a similar counseling form when conducting PA counseling in the community.
Intervention fidelity (within the implementation domain) was assessed by reviewing the use of the initial intake session forms for both physiotherapists and SCI peer coaches.Each section of the form was marked as "yes" if used, and "no" if left blank.Intervention fidelity was calculated by dividing the summed number of form components completed across the forms (as indicated by "yes") completed by physiotherapists and SCI peer coaches separately, divided by the total number of times these components could have been used.The higher the completion score (0-100%), the greater the fidelity of delivery.Followup SCI peer coach PA counseling forms were evaluated as described above but were also summarized for each follow-up session timepoint.

Sample size
Given the pragmatic nature of the study, we aimed to recruit all eligible physiotherapists (n = 13) and SCI peer coaches (n = 2).Of note, the SCI peer coaches participating in the study had their regular duties shifted to participate in this role.This limited the recruitment of SCI peer coaches to what was feasible for the organization.

Client discharge summaries
Reach percentages were calculated at the patient level (Table 2).One-hundred and forty-one patients were admitted to the rehabilitation hospital with a SCI during the time of recruitment for the study.Of these, 24 patients did not have a PA conversation due to extenuating circumstances, 42 had a partial PA conversation, and 74 of these patients had a full PA conversation with their physiotherapist.Of these 74 conversations, 28 patients consented to participate in the study and receive further PA counseling.

Semi-structured interviews
Analysis of semi-structured interviews resulted in identifying categories within the RE-AIM domains of effectiveness, implementation, and maintenance (Table 3).For effectiveness, both physiotherapists and SCI peer coaches perceived that their patients understood the benefits of PA and receiving PA counseling, as they observed that the information being delivered was effectively used and comprehended by the patients.Four categories were identified related to implementation: (1) physiotherapists found the referral process to the SCI peer organization to be feasible; (2) interventionists identified that there was no single best timepoint for intervening and was instead dependent upon the individual, (3) implementing PA conversations was time efficient for physiotherapists and did not impact their time beyond usual practice; and (4) conducting PA counseling did not change the process of discharge planning for patients, but led to an increase in the use of the SCI PA guidelines by physiotherapists.Three categories were identified within maintenance: (1) resource accessibility and interventionist buy-in are potential barriers to expanding the ProACTIVE SCI intervention to other rehabilitation centers; (2) interventionists anticipated the potential for PA counseling forms to be used among diverse populations beyond SCI; (3) physical activity counseling forms, refresher meetings and ongoing practice sessions are essential implementation intervention components needed to sustain PA counseling delivery.

Physical activity counseling forms
Physiotherapists PA referral/counseling forms showed that the most frequently used components of the forms included: whether the patient was interested in discussing PA, goal setting, activity preferences, resources available, potential barriers, and action planning (Table 4).The least used components of these forms were discussing the benefits of PA, current PA levels, and the SCI PA guidelines (Table 4).PA counseling forms, completed by SCI peer coaches, showed that all sections of the forms were used by peer coaches during initial counseling sessions, but the use of these components decreased over time (Figure 1).Specifically, peer coaches consistently discussed patients' PA and goal setting/action planning across all sessions.Discussing barriers to being active was consistently used during sessions 1-5, and slowly decreased in use for the remaining sessions (i.e., sessions 6-10).Lastly, developing a plan/solution for being active dropped substantially in use between the first and second session, and was only occasionally used (i.e., <30% of the time) beyond the third session.Further, this section was not used at all beyond the seventh follow-up session for any patient.

Discussion
This study aimed to evaluate the reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance of an evidencebased PA intervention for people with SCI that was delivered by physiotherapists and SCI peer coaches during the transition from rehabilitation to community.Results showed that the ProACTIVE SCI intervention reached the majority of patients who were admitted to the rehabilitation hospital, suggesting successful adaptation for use during this transitional period.Implementation was supported by high fidelity to the PA counseling intervention components and interview findings suggest the feasibility of the intervention with respect to minimal impacts on time beyond usual practice or discharge planning.Further, the coordination of program delivery between physiotherapists and SCI peer coaches was deemed feasible.This coordinated referral approach along with core intervention components such as ongoing training with opportunities for practice and a PA counseling form is suggested to be integral to the long-term maintenance of the ProACTIVE SCI intervention.While these finding are context-specific, we suggest strategies for future sites to adopt the ProACTIVE SCI at this critically understudied timepoint.More broadly, findings can support the integration of a clinician to peer mentor/coach referral system that links clients from rehabilitation to community in rehabilitation institutes across Canada.

Reach
This intervention reached 82% of patients admitted to the participating rehabilitation hospital.This is in line with previous research examining the delivery of PA counseling interventions to the general population who were using primary care clinics, which found that 77% of patients were reached by the program (12).The high level of reach in the current study could be due to the ease with which patients could receive this program.PA counseling was integrated into the standard of care patients would receive from their physiotherapist by adding a prompt to their existing patient-oriented discharge summaries.Semi-structured interviews with physiotherapists highlighted that integrating PA counseling conversations was time efficient and naturally fit into the scope of their practice, further supporting the high level of patient reach.However, the initial reach of the program did not directly translate to participating in continued PA counseling in the community program.Specifically, less than half of the patients who received a PA counseling session from their physiotherapist consented to participate in the full intervention (i.e., continue the PA counseling in the community).As mentioned, the time following discharge can be an overwhelming readjustment leading to decreases in PA (1).PA often does not take priority after rehabilitation with competing concerns like housing, accessibility, family, and financial considerations (20).Further, individuals with SCI often face barriers like lack of time, energy, and motivation to be physically active post-injury, making it especially challenging to participate in PA (21).While the intervention reach to patients was high in-hospital, it is possible that not all patients are ready to prioritize PA during the transition to community and further examination is warranted to better support this transition (6).

E ectiveness
Interviews revealed that both physiotherapists and SCI peer coaches held positive attitudes toward the intervention and highlighted positive perceived benefits for patients participating in PA counseling, including increased planning for PA and increased awareness for managing PA barriers.Theories of behavior change have previously supported the link between attitudes and intention formation, and later behavioral enactment (e.g., Theory of Planned Behavior and the Health Action Process Approach) (22,23).Interventionists held positive attitudes toward the intervention, which may have contributed to the improved counseling behaviors over time (Shu et al., under review).The importance of attitudes in predicting counseling behaviors has been previously supported.Results of a study that investigated the voluntary delivery of HIV counseling among schoolteachers using the theory of planned behavior showed that intention to deliver this counseling was significantly predicted by attitudes toward the intervention (24).

Adoption
The ProACTIVE SCI intervention was successfully adopted by all physiotherapists at the rehabilitation hospital and all eligible SCI peer coaches.We used an integrated knowledge translation (IKT) approach whereby physiotherapists and people with SCI were involved in the development, delivery and analysis of the research.This allowed for evidence from both research and practice contexts to bi-directionally inform intervention decisionmaking, and is consistent with the IKT Guiding Principles for patients attended all sessions).Further, patients withdrew from the study after their second counseling session.Therefore, values are reported as percentages relative to the number of patients who attended the session.
conducting SCI research in partnership (25).Interventions that are designed and implemented together with stakeholders are often more likely to be adopted within existing delivery systems (26).For example, an effectiveness-implementation trial compared the adoption of physical activity programs that were iteratively and interactively developed with stakeholders to programs that were unidirectionally disseminated (26).Comparison of the two program design types demonstrated that the two designs showed similar effects on PA behavior, however, programs that involved end-users in development reported significantly greater adoption rates, intentions to sustain program delivery, and participant reach.Organizations wanting to increase adoption rates and potentially support implementation sustainability should seek to meaningfully engage delivering partners as best practice when designing and implementing programs.

Implementation
When designing clinical interventions, interventionists need to be able to implement these programs into their standard-of-care practice.In the current study, PA counseling was incorporated into typical patient discharge planning, which resultantly had minimal impact on time beyond usual workload.Incorporating nontreatment PA advice during normal consultations has previously shown to be perceived as more feasible than creating a separate PA counseling session (9).
Beyond incorporating the PA counseling conversation into their regular discharge planning, use of PA counseling forms and referral to SCI peer coaches to continue PA counseling post-discharge were critical aspects of the successful intervention implementation.As highlighted in the interviews, physiotherapists found the structure provided by the counseling forms to be helpful in providing a framework when delivering PA counseling (supported by the high fidelity to the core components outlined in the forms), but also offered flexibility to tailor their delivery to the individual.Transferability of interventions to new contexts is often uncertain, and interventions need to be adapted to be successful and effective (27).A systematic review of the adaptation of programs implemented in community settings found the most common intervention adaptations were adding or removing elements to tailor the program to each individual (28).Similarly, SCI peer coaches delivered PA counseling in the community with high fidelity.However, follow-up counseling sessions often employed fewer components of these forms over time as needed.For example, discussing barriers to PA and providing solutions to these barriers was used less frequently in the later counseling sessions.This is unsurprising, as over time, patients likely needed less problem solving as barriers typically are addressed in the earlier counseling sessions.These findings are in line with a previous examination of the behavior change techniques employed using the ProACTIVE intervention in the research setting, where the time spent delivering behavior change techniques related to goals and planning decreased in the follow-up sessions as compared to the initial session (29).

Maintenance
Interventionists perceived the intervention could be used in other sites as well as among other populations with disability.However, they noted the primary barriers to scaling this intervention to other centers included access to facilities designed to promote accessible PA and interventionist buy-in.Options for PA may be unusable by some clients with SCI due to lack of transportation, building/facility access, inclusiveness amongst programs, or knowledge of staff, as examples (30, 31).With respect to interventionist buy-in, interventionists voiced that maintaining PA counseling as a priority is challenging, though ongoing trainings may help address this challenge.Professionals who are committed to ongoing learning and training have previously been shown to be more effective teachers, and those resistant to receiving training show low levels of program implementation (32).Lastly, while not examined in this study, interventionists foresaw the opportunity for the ProACTIVE SCI intervention to be adapted for use among other populations.Use of physical activity counseling in clinical settings is well-studied among other populations (33-35).However, examination of coordinated referral to peer services from rehabilitation is limited and warrants further study in other clinical populations.

Strengths and limitations
To our knowledge, this is the first study to examine coordinated PA counseling between physiotherapists and SCI peer coaches at the point of hospital discharge.In Canada, each province has an equivalent SCI advocacy organization.These findings may support the case for modeling this coordinated referral process across the country.Another strength of this work is the integrated knowledge translation approach.Representatives from all involved parties were involved in decision-making from the point of research question inception through to implementation.The importance of this collaborative approach is highlighted by the sustained use of this intervention beyond the project lifecycle as both the rehabilitation hospital and provincial SCI organization have adopted this intervention into standard practice.
As limitations, due to restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic, any new staff hired onto the spine unit at the rehabilitation hospital were not trained to deliver the ProACTIVE SCI intervention.This may have led to fewer patients having PA counseling conversations and subsequently being referred to SCI peer counseling.Despite a break in the study, the majority of patients did receive PA counseling as reflected in the high reach levels observed in this study.Another limitation was in interpreting the fidelity to the intervention by examining use of the PA forms.Analysis of these forms revealed infrequent discussion of the benefits of PA or the SCI PA guidelines.As these sections were summarized in a diagram, there was no text required to record whether these sections were discussed within the referral form.Other form components (e.g., goal setting) require a text entry from the provider.Therefore these sections may have been delivered to patients, but were undocumented.Lastly, reach data was collected by champions who would periodically review client discharge summaries with the group of physiotherapists to report whether they delivered the ProACTIVE SCI intervention with each patient.It is possible that social pressures may have influenced the reporting or even acted as an intervention component (e.g., social influences) itself.Lastly, the intervention was delivered by only two SCI peer coaches.Since completing the study, additional SCI peer coaches have been trained and it would be valuable to examine the implementation and effectiveness of this interventions amongst a greater diversity of SCI peer coaches.
In conclusion, this study demonstrated that the ProACTIVE SCI Toolkit can be adapted for use by physiotherapists and SCI peer coaches during the transition from rehabilitation to community, a critical and understudied timepoint for PA intervention.Findings are important for informing intervention sustainability and scaleup to other institutions and interventions.Future studies should continue to monitor program maintenance of the ProACTIVE SCI intervention beyond the 6-month period.
All practicing physiotherapists in the relevant units at the rehabilitation hospital who were eligible for the training attended the initial ProACTIVE SCI training session in March, 2020.Eightyfive percent of the attendees of the first training session attended the second session.Further, 77% of these physiotherapists attended the refresher training in November 2020.All of the designated SCI BC peer coaches received the ProACTIVE training and attended all training sessions.
