“…As a consequence, Appreciative Inquiry is determined to be more likely to engender trust and dialogue (Shendell-Falik et al 2007, Trajkovski et al 2015b. The blending of Appreciative Inquiry with Knowledge Translation is a lucrative one, leading to creation of new identities and communities of practice and greater collaborative functioning (Kothari and Wathen 2013). Appreciative Inquiry is complimentary to nursing, increasing the utilisation of research evidence and identifying impediments that may impede practitioners from disseminating and implementing research findings in daily practice (Kavanagh et al 2010).…”

“…The principles and practices of action research or integrated knowledge translation could be used by others to establish partnerships for the purpose of planning, developing, implementing and evaluating GItools. 32,33 Still, an overall conundrum remains to be resolved. Target users require support to adopt and apply guideline recommendations.…”

The development of guideline implementation tools: a qualitative study

2015

Background:Research shows that guidelines featuring implementation tools (GItools) are more likely to be used than those without GItools, however few guidelines offer GItools and guidance on developing GItools is lacking. The objective of this study was to identify common processes and considerations for developing GItools. Methods:Interviews were conducted with developers of 4 types of GItools (implementation, patient engagement, point-of-care decision-making and evaluation) accompanying guidelines on various topics created in 2008 or later identified in the National Guideline Clearinghouse. Participants were asked to describe the GItool development process and related considerations. A descriptive qualitative approach was used to collect and analyze data.Results: Interviews were conducted with 26 GItool developers in 9 countries. Participants largely agreed on 11 broad steps, each with several tasks and considerations. Response variations identified issues lacking uniform approaches that may require further research including timing of GItool development relative to guideline development; decisions about GItool type, format and content; and whether and how to engage stakeholders. Although developers possessed few dedicated resources, they relied on partnerships to develop, implement and evaluate GItools.Interpretation: GItool developers employed fairly uniform and rigorous processes for developing GItools. By supporting GItool development, the GItool methods identified here may improve guideline implementation and use. Abstract E128CMAJ OPEN, 3(1) Research CMAJ OPENwere not accompanied by implementation tools. [16][17][18] We interviewed 30 guideline developers from 7 countries who said that their target users had requested GItools, but they required direction for developing GItools. 19 Existing guideline development instructional manuals lack details on how to develop GItools. 20,21 The purpose of this study was to identify common processes and considerations for developing GItools. Methods ApproachGItool developers were interviewed to learn how they developed GItools. Qualitative research is useful for revealing tacit knowledge. 22 A descriptive qualitative approach was used along with various strategies to optimize rigor. 23,24 Consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research 25 guided the reporting of study findings. Conduct of this study was approved by the University Health Network Research Ethics Board (12-0091-AE). Participants gave informed consent before being interviewed. Sampling and recruitmentThe National Guideline Clearinghouse (US Department of Health and Human Services, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality; www.guideline.gov) was searched for Englishlanguage guidelines published in 2008 or later on the management of prevalent conditions that affect both men and women (e.g., arthritis, asthma, cancer, depression, diabetes, heart failure, stroke) and topics relevant to guideline developers who were collaborators on this research (e.g., chiropractic, dermatology, neurology, nephrol...

“…Knowledge users are engaged in research from the outset, shaping research questions, collecting and analysing data, and disseminating findings. In this way, findings are more contextually relevant and more likely to be incorporated into practice (Kothari & Wathen 2013;McLean et al 2012). The Mobilizing Minds project adopted a KT goal of getting the right information (about stress, anxiety and depression) to the right people (i.e.…”

High rates of highly persistent mental health problems can have significantly damaging effects on young adults’ lives, and young adults are less likely to seek treatment for such problems. This article describes a unique Canadian knowledge translation project called Mobilizing Minds: Pathways to Young Adult Mental Health, which aimed to impact not only the mental health literacy of young adults, but to engage young adults in the entire research process from inception to dissemination of results. Knowledge translation is a process that involves producing and assessing the quality of the knowledge to be translated and tailoring the knowledge to be user friendly for particular segments of the population. The article gives particular attention to the ways in which the Mobilizing Minds project was influenced by youth engagement. We discuss three aspects: 1) structures, processes and communication; 2) project products; and 3) challenges and responses. Lessons learned specific to intergenerational collaboration will be of interest to youth as consumers of mental health information and services, mental health practitioners, researchers, and decision-makers seeking to improve mental health at a systemic level.Keywords: knowledge translation, young adult, mental health, participatory research, youth engagement, youth-adult partnerships
