Essential content for teaching implementation practice in healthcare: a mixed-methods study of teams offering capacity-building initiatives.

Background: Applying the knowledge gained through implementation science can support the uptake of research evidence into practice; however, those doing and supporting implementation (implementation practitioners) may face barriers to applying implementation science in their work. One strategy to enhance individuals' and teams' ability to apply implementation science in practice is through training and professional development opportunities (capacity-building initiatives). Although there is an increasing demand for and offerings of implementation practice capacity-building initiatives, there is no universal agreement on what content should be included.

2022 APTA Pediatrics Knowledge Translation Lecture: Clinicians and Researchers Collaborate to Implement a Segmental Approach to Trunk Control.

The aim of this special communication is to describe a clinician/researcher collaboration that supported implementation of the segmental approach to trunk control into physical therapy practice at a large, multisite, pediatric hospital. A 6-phase, multifaceted iterative process including use of educational strategies, the knowledge-to-action (KTA) cycle, the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research, and the Theoretical Domains Framework was used. The total number of Segmental Assessments of Trunk Control (SATCos) completed increased from 0 to 57.

Knowledge Translation Research to Promote Behavior Changes in Rehabilitation: Use of Theoretical Frameworks and Tailored Interventions: A Scoping Review.

Objective: To describe knowledge translation (KT) research as a means of changing practice behaviors in rehabilitation. We specifically aimed to explore how theories, models, and frameworks (TMFs) are used to guide KT, guide methods to tailor KT interventions, and evaluate outcomes. We hypothesized these methods would have increased over the past 10 years.

Caregiver knowledge and preferences for gross motor function information in cerebral palsy.

Aim: To determine caregiver knowledge and preferences for gross motor information and examine differences across Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels.

Method: A questionnaire was developed. Respondents reported GMFCS knowledge, preference for knowledge, and experience with GMFCS and motor curve information.
