Expected Health Benefits as the Ultimate Outcome of Information Available on Stroke Engine, a Knowledge Translation Stroke Rehabilitation Website: Web-Based Survey.

Background: Electronic knowledge resources are readily available and typically target different audiences, including health professionals and the public, that is, those with lived experience and their relatives. The knowledge-to-action framework, in combination with the information assessment method (IAM), considering both the value-of-information construct and the conceptual model of acquisition-cognition-application, can be used to support the evaluation process of such resources. As an example, Stroke Engine is an evidence-based knowledge translation resource in stroke rehabilitation (assessments and interventions) for health professionals and students as well as individuals who have sustained a stroke and their relatives.

Cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the cooking task to the French-Canadian context: assessing the impact of executive function disorders through cooking activities.

Background: Acquired brain injury (ABI) often leads to deficits in executive functioning (EF) which is responsible for severe and longstanding disabilities in activities of daily living. The "Cooking Task" (CT), an ecological test of EF involving multi-tasking, was developed in France and exhibits excellent psychometric properties but has not yet been adapted and validated for the French-Canadian context.

Objectives: Conduct a cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the CT for the French-Canadian context.

SWOT analysis of a physical activity intervention delivered to outpatient adults with a mild traumatic brain injury.

Objectives: Physical activity interventions are effective to reduce the symptoms and recovery time after a mild traumatic brain injury; such interventions are not always embedded in all interdisciplinary outpatient settings. Service providers of a specialized rehabilitation program recognized the need to implement emerging evidence-based approaches to improve physical activity delivery. Understanding the perceptions of managers, clinicians, and users regarding the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of the current physical activity intervention delivered to outpatient adults with a mild traumatic brain injury could inform local and widespread intervention development, enhancement, and implementation of evidence-based physical activity interventions.

Pediatric tele-coaching fidelity evaluation: Feasibility, perceived satisfaction and usefulness of a new measure.

Background: To promote and ensure coaches' fidelity in delivering an online health coaching program to parents of children with suspected developmental delay, we developed and implemented a novel coaching fidelity rating tool, CO-FIDEL (COaches Fidelity in Intervention DELivery). We aimed to (1) Demonstrate CO-FIDEL's feasibility in evaluating coaches' fidelity and its change over time; and (2) Explore coaches' satisfaction with and usefulness of the tool.

Methods: In an observational study design, coaches ( = 4) were assessed using the CO-FIDEL following each coaching session ( = 13-14 sessions/parent-participant) during the pilot phase of a large randomized clinical trial involving eleven ( = 11) parent-participants.

Patient engagement in a national research network: barriers, facilitators, and impacts.

Background: Little is known about patient engagement in the context of large teams or networks. Quantitative data from a larger sample of CHILD-BRIGHT Network members suggest that patient engagement was beneficial and meaningful. To extend our understanding of the barriers, facilitators, and impacts identified by patient-partners and researchers, we conducted this qualitative study.

Enfin, a podcast in French on stuttering! - "Je je je suis un podcast": Impacts of accessing stuttering-related information in one's mother tongue.

Purpose: English-language podcasts on stuttering are numerous. However, stuttering-related podcasts in French are far more rare. In order to create a space to explore stuttering for a French-speaking population, the Association bégaiement communication (ABC), a French-Canadian stuttering organization, produced "Je je je suis un podcast".

Barriers and Facilitators to Knowledge Brokering Activities: Perspectives from Knowledge Brokers Working in Canadian Rehabilitation Settings.

Introduction: Knowledge translation experts advocate for employing knowledge brokers (KBs) to promote the uptake of research evidence in health care settings. Yet, no previous research has identified potential barriers for KBs to promote the uptake of research evidence in rehabilitation settings. This study aimed to identify the barriers and facilitators for KBs in Canadian rehabilitation settings as perceived by individuals serving as KBs.

Candrive-Development of a Risk Stratification Tool for Older Drivers.

Background: Assessing an older adult's fitness-to-drive is an important part of clinical decision making. However, most existing risk prediction tools only have a dichotomous design, which does not account for subtle differences in risk status for patients with complex medical conditions or changes over time. Our objective was to develop an older driver risk stratification tool (RST) to screen for medical fitness-to-drive in older adults.

Clinical research coordinators' role in knowledge translation activities in rehabilitation: a mixed methods study.

Background: Clinical research coordinators (CRCs) facilitate the interaction between researchers and knowledge users in rehabilitation centres to promote and sustain evidence-informed practices. Despite their presence in rehabilitation settings in Quebec for over 20 years, little is known about their profiles and knowledge translation (KT) activities nor how they can best enact their role. This study explored CRCs' roles and perspectives on the barriers, enablers, and strategies for improving KT activities in rehabilitation settings.
