Table 1 Definitions of extracted implementation characteristics
Implementation characteristic | Definition |

Implementation barriers | Factors obstructing the implementation of interventions [24] |
Implementation fidelity | The degree to which an intervention is delivered as intended. High implementation fidelity is critical to the successful translation of evidence-based interventions into practice ([25], p. 1) |
