Abstract: Transdisciplinary practice extends interprofessional collaboration by integrating and transcending disciplinary boundaries. Transdisciplinary models can reorganize health professionals' practice scope and optimize work practices. Previous transdisciplinary model evaluations have focused on clinical outcomes rather than implementation outcomes and translation potential. We aimed to understand the acceptability, appropriateness, feasibility, and translation potential of a transdisciplinary stroke assessment. An explanatory sequential design was used in this cross-sectional mixed-methods study. Australian healthcare professionals (N = 180) completed an online survey of three validated measures (Acceptability of Intervention Measure, Intervention Appropriateness Measure, and Feasibility Intervention Measure). Online focus group participants (N = 21, subgroup of survey participants) discussed survey results and implementation of the transdisciplinary stroke assessment in their workplace. Quantitative data were summarized using descriptive statistics, and qualitative data were analyzed using inductive content analysis. Most participants agreed or completely agreed that the transdisciplinary stroke assessment was acceptable (70%), appropriate (62%), and feasible (66%). Seven themes (competence, buy-in & support, evaluation, information, change management, interprofessional trust, and resources) described what participants identified as essential factors to support transdisciplinary assessment implementation. The results provided novel information on translating transdisciplinary models in interprofessional settings, including strategies to improve acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility, and how to support healthcare professionals undertaking the work.
