| Popis: | The creation of new knowledge through health research often fails to translate into appropriate changes in health care practice. In fact, it may take 10 to 20 years for information gained through research to be implemented in routine clinical practice. The difference between the best (evidence-based) care and traditional care was referred to by Graham and colleagues as the ‘‘knowledge to action (KTA)’’ gap. This gap accounts for a significant number of patients who do not receive the best possible care or, in some cases, receive care that is potentially harmful. The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) seek to close the KTA gap by accelerating the translation of new research knowledge into improved health care practices and outcomes—a process known as knowledge translation (KT). Below we introduce the concept of KT, as defined and used by CIHR, and outline an innovative project to disseminate the results of a 2007 Cochrane Systematic Review on the effects of exercise in fibromyalgia (FM). The collaborative work conducted by a small CIHR subgroup to disseminate research priorities, as identified by review authors, in a user-friendly format to the FM research community should be of particular interest to physiotherapists. |
