“…9,34,38 In addition, the language and terms used to talk about KT/E processes are often referred to as confusing, blurred and overlapping, and a lack of consensus remains on their meanings and properties. [38][39][40][41][42] A focus on language widens the discussion of these concepts beyond a simple dichotomisation of academic and non-academic understandings to encompass underlying issues of discourse and power. 43 Questions are raised regarding what is meant by 'knowledge' and who creates or owns 'it'.…”

ABSTRACTObjectives: Knowledge translation (KT) is becoming common vocabulary, but as a concept it is not clearly defined. Many related terms exist; these are often used interchangeably and given multiple interpretations. While there is a growing body of literature exploring these concepts, using it to inform public health practice, strategy, research and education is challenging given the range of sources and need for local 'contextual fit'. This study explores how various public health stakeholders make sense of, and experience, KT and related concepts. Study design:A qualitative mapping study using a phenomenographic approach.Methods: Thirty-four academics, students and practitioners working in public health across the north east of England participated in six focus groups and five one-to-one interviews.Discussions were audio-recorded, transcribed and analysed using a thematic framework approach. The framework drew on findings from reviews of the existing literature, whilst allowing unanticipated issues to emerge.Results: Three main themes were identified from the stakeholder discussions: Conclusions: This study has enabled further development of theoretical understandings of the KT discourses at play in public health, and identified the ways in which these may be bound by discipline and context. Ironically, the findings suggest that terms such as knowledge translation, transfer and exchange are seen as themselves requiring translation, or at least debate and discussion.

Une démarche d’évaluation partenariale impliquant plusieurs acteurs est traversée par un processus de négociations et d’ajustements entre des préoccupations, des responsabilités et des intérêts divers. Comment susciter un dialogue entre des savoirs d’expertise et des savoirs d’expérience afin de produire des connaissances scientifiquement fondées et utiles pour les acteurs impliqués dans les programmes ? Loin d’être un processus mécanique, cette démarche implique un travail délicat de recherche d’équilibre qui repose sur un cadre de partenariat négocié. La mise en place d’un comité de pilotage animé par une fonction d’interface entre les parties prenantes de l’intervention étudiée est de plus en plus reconnue comme une des conditions de réussite de la recherche partenariale. Ces conditions permettent de déployer un système réflexif qui peut soutenir l’innovation sociale, lorsque la formulation du problème et les actions qui en découlent continuent de s’enrichir au fur et à mesure que se développent les connaissances sur l’intervention.

“…Knowledge integration is the capacity to transform a public health organization's knowledge resources [11]. Here the explicit knowledge is easier to understand than implicit knowledge and share [21,36] but concrete approaches to improve workers' productivity were strangely enough and even measurements for workers' performance were still lacking [37].…”

“…And in consulting settings, these relationships are often ones communication, awareness, trust, and decision-making [7] as researchers in this field explains, it is a process of finding hidden elements or properties through social networks [8] or discovering patterns of social inter-relationship and interaction in a population which was usually modelled with networks [9,10]. This might assist public health policy decisions, community enterprises and professional practices to look networked worth and aspects of works [11]. Of course other literatures also identified some primary contexts where information could be shared [12].…”

Introduction: Social network is systematic means of assessing formation and informal networks by mapping and analysing relationships among people, groups, and units of work group or even entire organizations. In this article information Sharing and problem solving methods of health extension worker in Konso woreda was assessed.Objective: This study is aimed to assess information sharing using social network analysis among health extension workers in Konso woreda. Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted on all health extension workers in Konso woreda in Southern Ethiopia, using pretested structured pretested roster type questionnaire. All analysis performed by UCINET. Results:The response was rate 77(93%). For who know who network: Degree (64.8), Betweenness (11.1), Eigenvector (0.11), density (79.28%), and for information sharing network Degree (22.3), Betweenness (54.6), Eigenvector (0.11), density (27.2%). Using MR-QAP indicated significant variables such as experience (B=-0.041, p=0.0085), media (B=-0.0430, p=0.0055), site (B=-0.11, p=0.0005) and who know who B=0.1722, p=0.0005). People share information have positive performance (B=0.0466, p=0.01450) Conclusion:The information sharing in HEWs was inadequate. Sharing was observed among different sites rather than the same, people of different experiences than that of the same, and people who have different knowledge of Medias for information Sharing but for who know each other and have performance. were more likely to interact in most of the cases, in particular, those with similar specialties and organizational affiliations [41]. Other study in Addis Ababa uncovered as much as media of information transferring concerned there a need of more time so that the recipient and the source would be more interacted which means there are more indicators to have smooth transmission [13]. Assessment of Information SharingTherefore, current study outcome was more concerned social and information Sharing networks that might clear what to do to achieve more with HEWs, helps co-coordinators and planners easy way of distributing information using key nodes, and will identify informal connections than expected, which is important to rearrange the program activities.Specific objectives of the study 1. To describe the magnitude of information sharing in health extension workers using network analysis in Konso woreda.2. To compare information sharing and knowing each other network densities 3. To determine factors associated to information sharing among the health extension workers.4. To empirically describe the structure of information flow among health extension workers. Methods and Materials Study design and populationA cross sectional study was conducted using social network analysis from February 1 to May 30, 2012, to elicit information sharing of health extension worker (community health workers). A wholenetwork approach was employed for current study because we use all of the connections between people (HEWs) in the woreda.
