Aims and objectives  To investigate uptake of a Chest Injury Protocol (Ch IP ), examine factors influencing its implementation and identify interventions for promoting its use.    Background  Failure to treat blunt chest injuries in a timely manner with sufficient analgesia, physiotherapy and respiratory support, can lead to complications such as pneumonia and respiratory failure and/or death.    Design  This is a mixed‐methods implementation evaluation study.    Methods  Two methods were used: (i) identification and review of the characteristics of all patients eligible for the Ch IP  protocol, and (ii) survey of hospital staff opinions mapped to the Theoretical Domains Framework ( TDF ) to identify barriers and facilitators to implementation. The characteristics and treatment received between the groups were compared using the chi‐square test or Fischer's exact test for proportions, and the Mann–Whitney U‐test for continuous data. Quantitative survey data were analysed using descriptive statistics. Qualitative data were coded in  NV ivo 10 using a coding guide based on the  TDF  and Behaviour Change Wheel ( BCW ). Identification of interventions to change target behaviours was sourced from the Behaviour Change Technique Taxonomy Version 1 in consultation with stakeholders.    Results  Only 68.4% of eligible patients received Ch IP . Fifteen facilitators and 10 barriers were identified to influence the implementation of Ch IP  in the clinical setting. These themes were mapped to 10 of the 14  TDF  domains and corresponded with all nine intervention functions in the  BCW . Seven of these intervention functions were selected to address the target behaviours and a multi‐faceted relaunch of the revised protocol developed. Following re‐launch, uptake increased to 91%.    Conclusions  This study demonstrated how the  BCW  may be used to revise and improve a clinical protocol in the  ED  context.    Relevance to clinical practice  Newly implemented clinical protocols should incorporate clinician behaviour change assessment, strategy and interventions .  Enhancing the self‐efficacy of emergency nurses when performing assessments has the potential to improve patient outcomes and should be included in implementation strategy.
