Experiences of Physical Therapists and Professional Leaders with Implementing a Toolkit to Advance Walking Assessment Poststroke: A Realist Evaluation.
(2021) “Findings underscore contextual factors and activities essential to eliciting change in assessment practice in stroke rehabilitation across care settings.
Impact
This study shows that to foster recommended walking assessment practices, an onsite facilitator should be present to enable learning sessions and toolkit use.”
Identifying clinicians’ priorities for the implementation of best practices in cognitive rehabilitation post-acquired brain injury
(2021) The Technique for Research of Information by Animation of a Group of Experts (TRIAGE) can be used to support clinicians’ decision-making regarding the identification of implementation priorities in cognitive rehabilitation post-ABI.
The combination of individual consultations followed by consensual in-person group discussions, as part of the TRIAGE process, may help clinicians in defining and operationalizing best practices into more specific intervention components to implement.
‘Doing’ or ‘using’ intersectionality? Opportunities and challenges in incorporating intersectionality into knowledge translation theory and practice
(2021) “Knowledge translation (KT) is a field of study and practice that aims to synthesize and evaluate research into an evidence base and move that evidence into health care practice. There have been increasing calls to bring gender and other social issues into the field of KT. Yet, as scholars outline, there are few guidelines for incorporating the principles of intersectionality into empirical research. An interdisciplinary, team-based, national health research project in Canada aimed to bring an intersectional lens to the field of knowledge translation.”
Exploring clinicians’ experiences and perceptions of end-user roles in knowledge development: a qualitative study
(2021) “End-user involvement in developing evidence-based tools for clinical practice may result in increased uptake and improved patient outcomes. Understanding end-user experiences and perceptions about the co-production of knowledge is useful to further the science of integrated knowledge translation (iKT) – a strategy for accelerating the uptake and impact of research. Our study had two main objectives: (1) explore end-user (clinician) experiences of co-producing an evidence-based practice tool; and (2) describe end-user perceptions in knowledge development.”
What is “usual care” in the rehabilitation of upper limb sensory loss after stroke? Results from a national audit and knowledge translation study
(2021) “To characterise the assessments and treatments that comprise “usual care” for stroke patients with somatosensory loss, and whether usual care has changed over time.
Comparison of cross-sectional, observational data from (1) Stroke Foundation National Audit of Acute (2007–2019) and Rehabilitation (2010–2018) Stroke Services and (2) the SENSe Implement multi-site knowledge translation study with occupational therapists and physiotherapists (n = 115). Descriptive statistics, random effects logistic regression, and content analysis were used.”
“A manageable and challenging fall prevention intervention with impact on society” – older women’s perspectives on participation in the stayBalanced training programme
(2021) “Efficient and effective evidence-based practice (EBP) strategies for managing fall prevention in primary health care are of great importance. To ensure that EBP methods have the potential to be implemented and maintained in clinical practice, patient perspective must be ensured. Novel programs need to be perceived as meaningful and feasible, and in line with the patients’ values, preferences and needs.
Purpose
To describe how older women with osteoporosis experience participation in the StayBalanced Programme.”
