What is RECOVER?
Injury research centre
Research that leads to better recovery after outcomes after injury (road crashes)
3 ways RECOVER assists in better outcomes for road injuries?
- Improving delivery and availability of evidence based services
- Designing better therapies
- Facilitating return to pre injury functioning
What is Knowledge translation?
Getting research out and putting it into practice
What is Technology Transfer?
Commercialisation of knowledge
What is Translational research?
Translational medicine (bench to bedside)
What is implementation science?
Theoretical frameworks for adoption of evidence base
What does knowledge translation mean to government?
They are the funders so they want value for money
What does knowledge translation mean to researchers?
Want to add to the body of research
Get their research out and increase impact
Demonstrate benefits
What does knowledge translation mean to practitioners?
Improve knowledge base
Inform and influence their own practice
What does knowledge translation mean to policy makers?
Use knowledge to influence policy change (Lock out laws)
Public health to improve vaccination rates
What does knowledge translation mean to patients and community?
End users
Pay taxes and contribute to funding
Deserve the best possible treatments
What does a lack of knowledge translation lead to?
- Under use of efficacious treatment
- Incorrect use of treatment,
- unevaluated and ineffective treatment
Deprives patients of optimal healthcare
What research findings can be translated?
Depends what the evidence is and how ready to be translated it is
And it’s intended audience
What are the 3 Knowledge translation activities on a continuum?
- Diffusion (get results out there)
- Dissemination (package of research findings)
- Implementation (clinical tool-practice)
What are 5 traditional diffusion and dissemination activities?
- Journal articles
- Conference presentations
- Conference posters
- Brochures
- Media interviews
What are 5 contemporary way of diffusing and disseminating research?
- Plain language studies
- Infographics
- Media articles
- Social media/interactive websites
- Videos
What are 4 dissemination and implementation activities?
- Clinical practice guidelines
- DSM criteria
- Mobile apps
- Clinical tools
What are plain language summaries for?
Making research more accessible to people out of the area of expertise
What are the 7 steps to plain language summaries?
- Title or heading
- Describe your research
- What did you do?
- What did you find?
- What do the results mean?
- What you need to know
- Other information
Where does knowledge translation fit in the research process?
At the end
Integration from the beginning (optimum)
Both
And extends beyond
What do Knowledge translation implementation activities need to be successful?
Planning using theory
Theories, frameworks and models
What are the 4 systematic methods for studying implementation phenomenon?
- Identifying
- Understanding
- Operationalising
- Evaluating
What is the PARiHS model?
The method relevant for public health practitioners
Practitioners determine most appropriate facilitators
In the PARiHS model, what are the 3 factors that determine research use?
you need to score highly across which 3 domains to have successful implementation?
- Evidence (E)
- Context (C)
- Facilitation (F)
