Knowledge Dissemination Flashcards
what is knowledge synthesis?
its the contextualization and integration of research findings of individual research studies. A synthesis must be reproducible and transparent, and strategies must be clear and simple and have a plan for evaluation
what is knowledge translation?
involved in movingresearchfrom the laboratory, theresearchjournal, and the academic conference into the hands of people and organizations who can put it to practical use.
- improves the health of Canadians, provide more effective health services and products/strengthens the HCS
- KT involves the knowledge to action cycle
what is knowledge dissemination?
allowing knowledge/information to be spread.
-this can be done at the end of a project or throughout the research process if appropriate
how do knowledge dissemination and knowledge translation work together?
knowledge will be thought up and shared (KD) and then it’s translated through peer-reviewed journals, presentations or meetings (KT)
what is the reason for KT? and why is it important
to improve our health and our healthcare system using knowledge. important because doctors, patients etc all want the best healthcare possible
for the knowledge to action cycle, which part is the action?
The outside part of the cycle
for the knowledge to action cycle, which part is the creation part?
the middle known as the knowledge funnel
what is the first step in the knowledge to action cycle?
identify problem and identify, review and select knowledge
what’s the last step i the knowledge to action cycle?
To sustain the knowledge use. To make sure that this knowledge will actually be used
what is knowledge diffusion?
Passive, unplanned, uncontrolled dissemination; primarily horizontal or mediated by peers (ex. publishing in peer reviewed journals)
describe the push, pull and exchange for KT activities
• Push:
○ someone who goes out of their way to give information to others
• Pull:
○ Knowledge users plan and implement strategies to pull knowledge from sources they identify as producing knowledge that is useful to their decision making
• Exchange:
Includes efforts to bring the researcher and knowledge user communities together through an interactive process either at the end throughout the research project
what is knowledge brokering?
a process involving an intermediary (eg. Individuals, organizations or resources) at work to make research evidence more accessible for its users whether they be clinicians, policymakers or other decision-makers
define barrier and facilitator
Barrier: Any real or perceived concept that interferes with a change intervention
Facilitator: Factors that would promote or help implement shared decision-making in clinical practice
what are examples of barriers and facilitators?
Examples of facilitators: Group interaction, positive staff attitudes and beliefs, leadership support, champions etc
Examples of barriers: negative staff attitudes and beliefs, limited integration of guideline recommendation into organizational structures and processes
