abstract: 'Background Although evidence indicates that task-shared psychological

  interventions can reduce mental health treatment gaps in

  resource-constrained settings, systemic barriers have limited their

  widespread implementation. Evidence on how to sustain and scale such

  approaches is scant. This study responds to this gap by examining the

  experiences of South African health managers involved in the

  implementation of a task-shared counselling service for Project MIND.

  Objectives To qualitatively describe managers'' experiences of

  implementing the MIND programme and their insights into potential

  strategies for supporting sustained implementation. Methods Two focus

  group discussions (FGDs) and eight in-depth interviews (IDIs) were

  conducted with managers of urban and rural primary care facilities in

  the Western Cape province. All managers were female and 30-50 years old.

  FGDs and IDIs used an identical semi-structured topic guide to explore

  the experiences of the MIND programme and perceived barriers to

  sustained implementation. Normalisation process theory (NPT) guided the

  thematic analysis. Results Four themes emerged that mapped onto the NPT

  constructs. First, managers noted that their relational work with staff

  to promote support for the intervention and reduce resistance was key to

  facilitating implementation. Second, managers emphasised the need for

  staff reorientation and upskilling to foster openness to mental health

  practice and for adequate time for quality counselling. Third, managers

  underscored the importance of strengthening linkages between the health

  and social service sectors to facilitate delivery of comprehensive

  mental health services. Finally, managers recommended ongoing monitoring

  of the service and communication about its impacts as strategies for

  supporting integration into routine practice. Conclusions Findings

  contribute to the emerging literature on strategies to support

  implementation of task-shared interventions in low- and middle-income

  countries. The findings highlight the leadership role of managers in

  identifying and actioning these strategies. Investing in managers''

  capacity to support implementation of psychological interventions is

  critical for scale-up of these mental health innovations.'
