Evidence briefs and deliberative dialogues: perceptions and intentions to act on what was learnt

A call for a backward design to knowledge translation

“…Such evaluations allow us to measure whether, how, and why research evidence was used or not used in policy, and whether the policy achieved its intended outcomes and impact. While some efforts have been put to evaluate outcomes such as strengthened relationships among policy-makers, stakeholders and researchers, and enhanced capacity for undertaking and using research (11,17), very little has been done to evaluate the impact of implementing evidenceinformed policy-making (e.g. improved population health status) (25)(26)(27).…”

“…The researchers would then need to package the information using audience-tailored formats and disseminate it to different user groups through multiple channels. Several KT tools are available, including evidence briefs for policy, evidence summaries, and briefing notes (12,17). The choice of KT product will eventually depend on the target audience, the type and quality of research evidence and availability of local data.…”

Considerações Teóricas Do Diálogo Deliberativo: Contribuições Para Prática, Política E Pesquisa Em Enfermagem

“…10 Policies formed through deliberative dialogue comprise technical and real-world knowledge; therefore they are more legitimate, feasible, better framed, more accountable, and inclusive. [11][12][13][14] Deliberative processes are well suited to the health field because they can meet the broader objectives of stimulating debate, improving the understanding of complex issues, and encouraging consensus about health services priorities. 15 However, there has been very limited experience in nursing with deliberative dialogue.…”

“…9 While it is recognized as a knowledge translation strategy, 10 it also has the potential to be an approach to data collection in qualitative research. 9 Several studies have documented that deliberative dialogue can significantly contribute to change practice and policy, [11][12][13] overcoming challenges such as irrelevant evidence and access to scientific knowledge, and making research evidence easier to use in decision-making. 10 Policies formed through deliberative dialogue comprise technical and real-world knowledge; therefore they are more legitimate, feasible, better framed, more accountable, and inclusive.…”

“…Researchers provide deliberants with background materials prior to the event and also briefly present evidence at the beginning of the meeting. [12][13] A space that is easily accessible for all participants should be selected. The space should have room to conduct large and small group activities, enabling participants to move around.…”
