Abstract:

Doctor of Philosophy<br>Similar to their colleagues throughout the world, nurses and midwives in New South Wales (NSW), Australia, welcome evidencebased practice (EBP) as a means to improve patient or client outcomes. This thesis explores the way nurses and midwives understand evidence for EBP and aims to determine whether members of these professions currently have the knowledge and skills necessary to implement evidence‐based care. Three separate studies were conducted to explore NSW nurses’ readiness for EBP. Attitudes, knowledge and skill were investigated using an EBP questionnaire return

Abstract:

Evidence-based policy and practice (EBPP) in population health in Australia has been promoted largely without sound research. In response, this thesis presents a series of studies undertaken to assess and inform enhancement of capacity for EBPP in Australia. It comprises linked studies designed to examine different yet complementary aspects of capacity for EBPP. Research was conducted at various levels of Australian health care system, from local to national, in order to better understand EBPP and to make a series of recommendations about effective and synergistic response.

This mixed methods study examined the attitudes, knowledge and perceptions of barriers toward Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) among Florida Juvenile Justice Service Professionals (JJSP). Previous research established individual factors such as age, gender, years of professional experience and educational attainment are related to attitudes and perceptions of barriers among social service and mental health professionals, but scant research has been conducted among juvenile justice providers (Aarons 2004, 2010; Rubin & Parrish, 2007, 2012; Jette et al., 2003).

Abstract:

There has recently been an increased pressure in all-healthcare disciplines to provide interventions that are scientific, safe, efficient and cost-effective. Evidence-based practice is said to be the current best approach to address these attributes. All healthcare professionals including physiotherapists need to adopt it. Numerous physiotherapy studies have been carried out to ascertain the attitudes towards, knowledge of, engagement in as well as the barriers of evidence-based practice. These studies were mostly carried out in the developed countries and almost none in the devloping African

Abstract:

Evidence-based practices in nursing improve patient outcomes, decrease healthcare costs, and can be implemented with policies and procedures. However, there is limited literature describing how nurses acquire policy knowledge, the dissemination of which may require a significant investment of resources by a hospital. The purpose of this study was to learn more about how nurses obtain policy knowledge. Rogers's diffusion of innovations theory guided the examination of communication channels and how they relate to the formation of policy knowledge. The research questions were designed to gather

Abstract:

Health and care services need to be optimised to meet the future demand that will be placed on them. This will require a closer coupling of service and research, whereby innovations in services can be rapidly tested and evaluated, and feed back into a continual process of service optimisation. The timely delivery of information from services into research is critical to this cycle. However, there are serious problems with the evidence on which healthcare and public health practice is based: it is expensive to produce; it takes a long time to produce; it takes a long time to influence professio

Abstract:

In the past decade the push for utilization of evidence-based practice (EBP) in mental health has increased dramatically. Due to managed healthcare, lowered spending on state and federal mental health budgets, and requirements by funding agencies such as Medicaid, it is imperative that mental health clinicians (MHCs) be trained in and utilize EBPs to improve funding and ensure continuity of best practice in clinical interventions with clients. Minimal research exists on MHCs and their knowledge and use of EBPs. The present study examined MHCs' perceptions, knowledge, training, and utilizat

To get to the social workers experiences and descriptions we used a qualitative method with semistructured interviews. The empiric material of the study consists of eight interviews with social workers working in different social offices in different areas, in southern Sweden. The main result of this study was that social workers use clien

Abstract:

[Truncated abstract] The dominant approaches to knowledge management practice and the design of knowledge management systems are driven by a resource-based view of knowledge. In this thesis, it is argued that the resource-based view of knowledge is limited and lacks social sensitivity. In this thesis, Knowledge Management is viewed as a social activity and the development and examination of an alternate approach to conceptualising the social processes of knowledge management in organisations, is the primary objective. In pursuing this objective, the question of whether an activity-based view o

Abstract:

The present experiment evaluated Willingham & Goedert-EschmannÂs proposal (1999) that physical practice is required to support the parallel activation of explicit and implicit systems during practice of an SRT task. Individuals either physically executed or observed an individual producing a repeating 12-element sequence. Models and observers were provided with explicit information regarding the sequence or were uninformed. Congruent with previous findings, providing explicit instructions resulted in a significant decrease in response times to sequenced stimuli during acquisition. Individuals

Abstract:

As a practicing dietitian, I am reminded by the dietetics and education literatures of just how important it is for me, and for the profession, to develop skills to continue to learn and improve practice. Although reflection is an integral step of professional development strategies in dietetics, little is known about it in our context. The study's purpose is to assist dietitians in their quest for continuous learning and improved practice by documenting experiences of dietitians and exploring the reflection process embedded in this data. Research questions guiding this exploration focused

Abstract:

This dissertation entitled, Exploring Design Thinking for Instructional Practice, is situated in the cognitive rigor of design thinking instructional practice and engineering design-based capstone courses. The content of the instructional practice connects with educators employing a wide range of intellectual activities or cognitive tasks in formulating their curriculum. Key attributes of design thinking were identified through a focused literature review with an emphasis on theoretical propositions applicable to instructional practice. This dissertation contains two manuscripts: (a) an explor

Abstract:

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a low-incidence disorder with high impacts on individuals, families, and society. School-based speech-language pathologists (SLPs) have tremendous responsibilities toward individuals with ASD, but pre-service SLPs are not adequately trained to fulfill these expectations. In order to reduce the widespread financial and social impact of ASD, school-based SLPs need to complete effective training to prepare them for the selection of established social-communication practices. One framework for the selection of individualized intervention is the Ziggurat Model (Asp

Abstract:

There is a limited understanding of the practices provided by interventionists under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Part C, and there is no knowledge of how providers deliver services for children who have challenging behaviors. In particular, few studies have examined the extent to which Part C interventionists use evidence-based practices. Decreasing occurrences of challenging behaviors in early childhood is particularly important, as there are many negative ramifications associated with untreated challenging behaviors, including troubled peer and adult relationships, academ

Abstract:

This collaborative action research study addressed the perceived practical skill deficits in newly qualified nurses during role transition into practice. It extended over three cycles. Participants were newly qualified and experienced staff nurses in an acute NHS Hospital. A qualitative exploratory study during the first cycle found that much of what beginning staff nurses needed to know was embedded in routinised contextual activity and was not readily accessible to them. Managing and co-ordinating the work in the complexity of the clinical context is a composite skill, and a major component
