Table 1 The themes emerged through the qualitative analysis

From: Informing the implementation of evidence-informed decision making interventions using a social network analysis perspective; a mixed-methods study

Staff engagement

• Leadership support: the role of organizational leaders through the process of implementation

• Relevant roles: the relevance of staff’s formal job definitions to EIDM, and its impact on the adoption

• Non-participatory engagement: workload, involuntary recruitment, and ambiguity of the task as barriers of implementation

Communications during trainings

• Communications among participants: the effect of social support and frequency of interactions among co-participants in trainings

• Communications with experts: the dynamics of relationship among staff and recognized EIDM experts, such as KB, librarian, and epidemiologists

Relational outcomes

• Recognition: Recognition of trained staff as experts in EIDM and its effects on their social position in networks

• The elite and the ordinary: the selective training of a group of staff and the negative impact on the peers who were not chosen
