Question 1

what is knowledge translation?

Answer 1

the process of trying to close the gap between research evidence and practice
- getting evidence into use
- increasing the impact of research

Question 2

knowledge translation definition and implications for canadians

Answer 2

1. dynamic process that includes the synthesis, dissemination, exchange and application of knowledge
2. in order to improve the health of canadians via more health services products and a better health care system

Question 3

what is knowledge exchange?

Answer 3

process that helps us find, share, apply evidence from research, clinical and lived experiences

Question 4

what does knowledge exchange help inform and promote

Answer 4

helps inform policy making, clinical services and spreads awareness of new evidence
- creates an environment that supports the integration of evidence

Question 5

what is knowledge mobilization?

Answer 5

the reciprocal flow and intake of research and knowledge between researchers
- within and beyond academia

Question 6

why is information translation, exchange and mobilization important?

Answer 6

• better access to evidence-based information for all
• more knowledge dissemination beyond the traditional academia outlets
• share results with diverse audiences

Question 7

what are problems with evidence distribution right now?

Answer 7

• patients are recieving not fully proven treatments, get care that is not needed or harmful and they are not given enough information on treatments to make a decision

Most programs to address gaps in patient care are not …
- evidence-based
- implemented as intended
- evaluated
-being sustained

Question 8

what are the strongest and highest quality of evidence

Answer 8

systematic reviews and RCTs are second
then….
- cohort
- case-control
- case reports
- opinions

Question 9

what is a knowledge user?

Answer 9

the people or groups who will most likely use the knowledge you are generating

Question 10

what is a project partner?

Answer 10

those who need to be engaged to increase the likelihood of research use

Question 11

what is diffusion in research?

Answer 11

a passive approach to spreading evidence-based information

Question 12

what is dissemination?

Answer 12

an active approach to spreading evidence info to target audience

Question 13

what is the end of grant KT (knowledge translation)

Answer 13

when the researchers plan and implement the plan to make research user audiences aware of knowledge from their project

Question 14

what is integrated KT (knowledge tranformation)

Answer 14

research users are engaged as equal partners with researchers

Question 15

what is community-based learning (participatory action research)

Answer 15

approaches that bring together community and academic expertise to create social change

Question 16

what is the goal of community-based learning (participatory action research)

Answer 16

to disrupt power imbalances in research
- focus on strengthening communities and co-learning
- social change

Question 17

what is implementation science

Answer 17

the study of how implementing interventions can be better adapted for certain contexts
- studying how interventions can become better and scaled up

Question 18

what is implementation practice?

Answer 18

• the use of evidence-based interventions and adopting and changing them for specific settings

Question 19

what is KM/KT science (knowledge mobilization and translation)

Answer 19

the study of theories, mechanisms, concepts or methods used in the process of KT
Methods = dissemination and implementation

Question 20

what is a knowledge broker?

Answer 20

• links researchers and decision-makers together helping to support interactions so that both groups can understand their goals, influence each other’s work and collaborate and use their knowledge

Question 21

without KM, evidence can take how many years to get into practice or use?

Answer 21

17 years

Question 22

Upon completion of analyzing study results and developing study findings, a researcher engages with knowledge users to produce a social media campaign.
a) End of Grant KT
b) Integrated KT
c) Community-Based Research

Answer 22

The correct answer is b) Integrated KT (Knowledge Translation). Integrated KT involves collaboration between researchers and knowledge users throughout the research process, including the dissemination of findings. In this case, engaging with knowledge users to produce a social media campaign demonstrates an integrated approach to translating research findings into accessible formats for wider dissemination and application.

Question 23
