Final Exam - Weeks 11 & 12 Flashcards
What is knowledge translation?
Knowledge translation is the process of bridging the gap between research and practice, with the goal of applying research findings to improve health outcomes and inform policy and practice decisions. It involves moving knowledge from the academic or research setting to the real-world setting, where it can be used to benefit individuals, communities , and society.
What is the main goal of KT?
The main goal of KT is to ensure that research findings are translated into practice and policy, with the ultimate aim of improving health outcomes and reducing health inequities. It is particularly important to the health care field, where the adoption of evidence-based practices can improve patient outcomes and quality of care.
Contextualization and integration of research findings of individual studies within the larger body of research on the topic.
Knowledge synthesis.
Explain dissemination as it relates to knowledge translation process.
Dissemination refers to the process of sharing research findings and information with relevant stakeholders in a way that is accessible and relevant to their needs. Dissemination is an important part of the knowledge translation process, as it helps ensure that research findings are widely shared and used to inform policy and practice decisions.
____________ involves identifying the appropriate audience and tailoring the message to that audience.
Dissemination.
Knowledge exchange and knowledge dissemination are related but distinct concepts, explain.
Knowledge dissemination refers to the process of sharing information or knowledge with a broader audience, typically through formal or informal means of communication such as publications, presentations, or media. The primary focus is on getting the information out to as many people as possible.
Knowledge exchange, on the other hand, is a more interactive process that involves sharing knowledge between individuals or groups. It involves a two-way flow of information, where both parties contribute to and benefit from the exchange of knowledge. The focus is on creating dialogue and mutual learning, rather than just one-way communication.
Participatory action research is an example of knowledge exchange, true or false?
True.
Explain end-of-grant knowledge transfer.
End of grant knowledge transfer refers to the process of sharing research findings, outcomes, and other knowledge generated during a research project with relevant stakeholders, such as other researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and the wider public. This process typically occurs at the end of a grant-funded research project when the research team is expected to disseminate the results and share knowledge with others.
The goal of ______________________________ is to ensure that the research findings are translated into practical and actionable knowledge that can be used to improve health outcomes and reduce health inequities. This involves identifying the most relevant and appropriate knowledge transfer methods for the specific research project, and ensuring that the knowledge transfer activities are tailored to the needs of the target audience.
End-of-grant knowledge translation
_________________________ is an approach to knowledge transfer that seeks to integrate the research process with knowledge translation activities, in order to ensure that research findings are effectively disseminated and used to inform policy and practice decisions.
Integrated knowledge translation (IKT)
The __________________ approach involves engaging with stakeholders throughout the research process, building partnerships and collaborations, and ensuring that the research is grounded in real-world practice.
Integrated knowledge translation (IKT)
What are the two approaches to knowledge translation according to the CIHR?
End of grant knowledge translation and integrated knowledge translation
_______________________________ is a linear approach that focuses on disseminating research findings to relevant stakeholders after the completion of a research project. The goal of ________________________ is to ensure that research findings are accessible, understandable, and relevant to those who could benefit from them.
End-of-grant knowledge translation (EoG KT)
_______________________________, is a collaborative approach that involves engaging with stakeholders throughout the research process, from the initial planning stages to the dissemination of research findings. The goal of _______________________________ is to facilitate the co-production of knowledge between researchers and stakeholders, and to ensure that research findings are tailored to the needs of the target audience and are effectively translated into practice.
Integrated knowledge translation (IKT)
While both approaches to knowledge translation aim to improve the uptake and use of research findings, __________________ is considered to be more effective in promoting sustainable change in healthcare practice and policy, as it involves ongoing collaboration and engagement with stakeholders. __________________recognizes the importance of building relationships with stakeholders, and involves them as active participants in the research process, which increases the likelihood that research findings will be relevant and useful to them.
