The research-to-practice gap is a well-known phenomenon. The adoption of evidence into clinical practice needs to consider the complexity of the health care system and a multitude of contextual issues. Research evidence is usually a form of extrinsic motivation for practice change, but works best when it aligns with the intrinsic values of the system and the people in it.

Additionally, it sought to summarise the reported psychometric properties, including reliability and validity of these measures.
Methods: A systematic review of recent litratures was conducted using Scopus, MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Web of Science and Embase databases to identify studies published from 1 January 2010 to 11 October 2023.
There is a global initiative to reduce the use of restrictive care practices in mental health settings. Variations in the reported rates across regions complicate the understanding of their use and tracking trends over time. However, it remains unclear whether these discrepancies reflect real differences in the implementation of these practices or are sourced from inconsistencies in incident classification and reporting methods.

Objective: Determine feasibility of a fully powered trial comparing high load-volume versus low load-volume exercise for adults with rotator cuff tendinopathy.
Design: Two arm, multi-centre pilot and feasibility randomised controlled trial.
Article Synopsis
- Student-led clinics offer educational benefits for students and improved access to care for patients, helping alleviate some pressure on the healthcare system, but their financial sustainability is uncertain due to varying stakeholder costs and benefits.
- The systematic review included 24 studies that measured the economic outcomes of student-led clinics, highlighting diverse methodologies used to analyze costs, benefits, and clinical effectiveness but revealing gaps in comprehensive evaluations.
- Findings indicated that while student clinics generate shared benefits across multiple stakeholders, including patients and universities, most studies focused on costs rather than a balanced assessment of both costs and benefits or clinical effectiveness.
