Project description
The objective of this project is to examine the current state and ways for improvement of Knowledge Translation (KT) in pediatric motor rehabilitation from the perspectives of researchers, clinicians and caregivers. To reach this goal, we planned to conduct a literature review in order to analyze the structure of KT processes and the ways end-users are involved throughout. It will be followed by a survey study aiming at identifying the needs of researchers and clinicians regarding KT. Finally, an interview study will allow us to gain a deep understanding of researchers, clinicians, and caregivers’ experiences with KT. This project will culminate in the co-creation of a translation toolbox that supports the implementation of evidence-based practices for improved patient outcomes.
