week 13 guest lectures Flashcards
what is knowledge translation?
the process of trying to close the gap between research evidence and practice
- getting evidence into use
- increasing the impact of research
knowledge translation definition and implications for canadians
- dynamic process that includes the synthesis, dissemination, exchange and application of knowledge
- in order to improve the health of canadians via more health services products and a better health care system
what is knowledge exchange?
process that helps us find, share, apply evidence from research, clinical and lived experiences
what does knowledge exchange help inform and promote
helps inform policy making, clinical services and spreads awareness of new evidence
- creates an environment that supports the integration of evidence
what is knowledge mobilization?
the reciprocal flow and intake of research and knowledge between researchers
- within and beyond academia
why is information translation, exchange and mobilization important?
- better access to evidence-based information for all
- more knowledge dissemination beyond the traditional academia outlets
- share results with diverse audiences
what are problems with evidence distribution right now?
- 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
what are the strongest and highest quality of evidence
systematic reviews and RCTs are second
then….
- cohort
- case-control
- case reports
- opinions
what is a knowledge user?
the people or groups who will most likely use the knowledge you are generating
what is a project partner?
those who need to be engaged to increase the likelihood of research use
what is diffusion in research?
a passive approach to spreading evidence-based information
what is dissemination?
an active approach to spreading evidence info to target audience
what is the end of grant KT (knowledge translation)
when the researchers plan and implement the plan to make research user audiences aware of knowledge from their project
what is integrated KT (knowledge tranformation)
research users are engaged as equal partners with researchers
what is community-based learning (participatory action research)
approaches that bring together community and academic expertise to create social change
what is the goal of community-based learning (participatory action research)
to disrupt power imbalances in research
- focus on strengthening communities and co-learning
- social change
what is implementation science
the study of how implementing interventions can be better adapted for certain contexts
- studying how interventions can become better and scaled up
what is implementation practice?
- the use of evidence-based interventions and adopting and changing them for specific settings
what is KM/KT science (knowledge mobilization and translation)
the study of theories, mechanisms, concepts or methods used in the process of KT
Methods = dissemination and implementation
what is a knowledge broker?
- 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
without KM, evidence can take how many years to get into practice or use?
17 years
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
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.
what are the goals of this process? KT
- inform
- engage - influence convos
- implement
Who should be involved in this process?
- knowledge users - who will use this info
- project partners - who will help u reach audiences
- your research team - who will do the work
main focuses on this topic? KT
- building a foundation and relationships
- community learning
- advocacy
- honour community time and voices
what is community engaged research? part 2 slide show
research that involves those impacted as equal partners through the process
what is patient oriented research?
focus on the care of patients in health care system
- patients are seen as partners
what is a patient in this situation? patient oriented research
- individuals with personal experience of a health issue relevant to the research focus
what are some of the community based research principles?
- relationships
- collaboration
- safety prioritization - privacy
- disruption fo power imbalances
- co-learning
- integration
- knowledge mobilization
- use of social and ecological determinants of health
- understanding that community work is an ongoing process that must continued to be invested in
who is involved and why? community learning
- community members - have their need met
- community based organizations - bring expertise/provide services
- academic researchers - bring expertise and produce peer reviewed scripts, grants and ensure ethical requirements are met
why do community based participatory research?
better research
creates better teams
adresses historical injustices
