DQ1 Disseminating the Evidence
Research team discussing study with patient. (Life in View/Science Photo Library, n.d.)Knowledge is like money: to be of value it must circulate, and in circulating it can increase in quantity and, hopefully, in value.
– Louis L’Amour, 1908 – 1988, American author (QuoteSpeak, n.d.)
Think about where you might disseminate the results of your project. You have put a lot of work into this project; how can it be used to improve patient care in your practice setting, and how you could eventually disseminate the results on a larger scale?
This activity will address the following module outcome:

EXCELSIOR – NUR513 RESEARCH AND EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE Module 7
Based on your learning activities, respond to the following prompts. Be sure to support your answers with references when needed.
Describe a venue in your immediate practice environment you could use to disseminate the results of your project (poster presentation at conference, media submission, grand rounds, etc.). Analyze the benefit of your findings for the everyday practice of the inter-professional team.
Identify one professional peer-reviewed journal that might be interested in publishing your results. Access the requirements for authors and view the manuscript submission guidelines of the journal. Describe the steps you would take to submit your paper as a manuscript to this journal. What do you see as the biggest challenge? Evaluate the impact your project may have on the body of knowledge in the discipline.
EXCELSIOR – NUR513 RESEARCH AND EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE Module 7 Discussion. Transforming scientific evidence for its use in practice, commonly known as research translation, involves many processes and strategies. High-quality studies must be conducted and the body of evidence must then be synthesized and summarized, often in the form of systematic reviews. Research evidence presented in complex and technical jargon must be altered to simpler language that potential end-users will find easier to understand; it must then be disseminated to those audiences; and, finally, providers and others must incorporate it into existing health care processes and systems to improve health.
The terminology for each of these steps overlaps considerably. We list three key definitions to help readers understand the scope of our review, which focuses on the communication and dissemination of health and health care evidence and effective ways to present associated uncertainty (see Table 1). We deliberately avoid the term “translation” in our review because it is broadly and diversely defined. Implementation processes to improve health outcomes are beyond the scope of this review.
