abstract: 'BackgroundChild Life Specialists (CLSs) are psychosocial care

  professionals of child development and health who focus on the

  individual needs and rights of young patients. CLSs accompany sick

  children and focus on the children''s perspective and their reality of

  life. CLS programs are already established in clinical settings in the

  United States and other Anglophone countries but have not yet been

  piloted in the German health care setting, neither has their

  implementation been evaluated in this context. This study aimed to

  explore the factors influencing the implementation of a pilot CLS

  program in pediatric inpatient care at the Dr. von Hauner Children''s

  Hospital at the University Hospital of Munich, Germany. MethodsBuilding

  on methods commonly employed in the evaluation of complex interventions,

  we developed a logic model to guide the process evaluation of our

  program. Semi-structured interviews with four groups of stakeholders

  were conducted in person or via videoconferencing between June 2021 and

  January 2022. Data was analyzed collectively using the method of

  qualitative content analysis by Mayring. ResultsFifteen individual

  interviews were conducted with patients (children aged 5-17 years, n =

  4), parents (n = 4), CLSs (n = 4) and other health professionals (n =

  3). Factors influencing the implementation were identified on three

  levels: system, staff and intervention. On the system level, a clearer

  definition of CLSs'' tasks and responsibilities was perceived as

  important and would likely lead to a delineation from other

  (psychosocial) professions and a reduction of potential resistances. On

  the staff level, lacking training opportunities and feelings of being

  insufficiently skilled were limiting the CLSs professional

  self-confidence. On the intervention level, the emergence of a unique

  characteristic of the CLSs'' work (i.e., preparation for medical

  procedures) supported the acceptance of the new program. ConclusionsThe

  implementation of a CLS program into an established hospital system with

  existing psychosocial care services is challenging. Our results

  contribute to a better understanding of implementation processes of such

  an additional psychosocial care approach and provide recommendations for

  addressing upcoming challenges.'
