Head Matters (HM) is a guided self-help exercise program developed to prevent or reduce swallowing problems and support self-management. This study evaluated the adoption and implementation of HM across HNC centres in the Netherlands and explored healthcare professionals\u2019 perceived barriers and facilitators for sustainable use. Methods: This mixed-methods study included all 14 Dutch HNC centres. Quantitative data were collected using the Measurement Instrument for Determinants of Innovations (MIDI) before and after implementation. Qualitative data were obtained through semi-structured interviews with healthcare professionals from different disciplines to explore experiences with and contextual factors influencing implementation. Results: Thirteen centres adopted HM (93%), and eleven centres implemented the program (85% of adopters). Determinants for implementation were generally evaluated as neutral to positive. Speech-language pathologists rated procedural clarity, completeness, and compatibility more positively than other professionals. Perceptions of coordination, completeness, and professional support improved over time. Interviews confirmed that the intuitive design and accessibility of HM facilitated implementation, whereas limited digital literacy, login procedures, and limited organizational visibility were perceived as barriers. Conclusion: HM was widely adopted and implemented across Dutch HNC centres. Allowing local adaptation and appointing clear coordinators facilitated uptake. Sustainable implementation of swallowing exercise programs requires continued attention to training, organizational embedding, and institutional visibility.&lt;\/p&gt;<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/fpl\/acvag001","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,14]],"date-time":"2026-08-14T11:17:52Z","timestamp":1786706272000},"page":"1-1","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Implementation of a Self-Help Swallowing Exercise Program in Head and Neck Cancer"],"prefix":"10.1159","author":[{"given":"Fennetta A.","family":"van der Scheer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jan-Jaap","family":"Hendrickx","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Simone E.J.","family":"Eerenstein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marije R.","family":"Vergeer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jens","family":"Voortman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.
