Implementation science's pertinent definitions history are discussed. Then, information highlighted pertaining position within larger realm practice research. An exemplar study reviewed inform researchers in disorders. Conclusion importance emphasized by outlining ways that speech-language...
Background: Social isolation and loneliness are often present after aphasia lead to negative health, social, physical outcomes. Maintaining social connections has been identified as an important target for intervention, but is not regularly addressed in intervention. While many persons with maintain relationships immediate family members brain injury, there considerable changes the substance quantity of friendship networks early on recovery period.Aims: The aims this article examine...
The purpose of this article is to contend that there a power differential between researchers and clinicians where are the primary creators knowledge consumers knowledge. Rooted in sociological model illustrating interacting levels at macro-, meso-, microlevels, we argue authentic research-practice partnerships clinician-researcher collaborations can mitigate differential.Clinicians our field have vastly different responsibilities priorities impact ability work collaboratively solve most...
Abstract Introduction In 2021, the Learning Health Systems Rehabilitation Research Network (LeaRRn) developed and administered a needs assessment survey, based on Agency Healthcare Quality's (AHRQ's) original seven domains of learning health systems (LHS) researcher core competencies, to identify knowledge interest in LHS research competencies among rehabilitation researchers. 2022, AHRQ added new healthcare equity justice (HE) domain existing for competencies. Methods LeaRRn utilized...
Purpose: While gender-affirming communication research is growing, most of the has been focused on acoustic, biological, and perceptual factors related to client. To date, little attention given clinician–client relationship. This study explored perspectives gender-diverse individuals who received services from speech-language pathologists (SLPs). included what made feel protected respected, how inclusivity was shown during service provision. Method: Four semistructured, virtual interviews...
To identify risk factors related to falls within the scope of speech-language pathology (SLP) using assessments from Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility-Patient Assessment Instrument over a 4-month period in 4 inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs).
Purpose: In this clinical focus article, we advocate for an expansion of our services to include care partners individuals with communication (e.g., aphasia) or cognitive-communication impairments dementia) as “primary” clients. While many clinicians are already engaging in partner training and other related practices, article highlights novel enhanced approaches further embrace expand these efforts. This is based on the authors' experience-based reflections illustrations through vignettes...
This study explored whether perceptions of evidence or organizational context were associated with the use external memory aids residents dementia in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs).A survey design, supplemented by a small sample exploratory interviews, was completed within Promoting Action on Research Implementation Health Services framework. Ninety-six speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and 68 facility rehabilitation directors (FRDs) Organizational Readiness to Change Assessment...
The primary purpose of this study was to obtain preliminary evidence for a communication coaching intervention, Dementia Collaborative Coaching. secondary aim assess the acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility intervention according routine care providers.
Purpose: Aphasia may decrease the capacity to develop and maintain friendships. The aim of this study was better understand perspectives people with aphasia on why some friendship bonds remain strong do not. Furthermore, we wanted explore how age severity shape views friendship. Method: We interviewed 27 about their experiences before after onset aphasia. then used framework analysis reflexive thematic interpret interview data. Results: From interviews, created four major themes concerning...
In the next two decades, there will be advances in diagnosis and treatment of disorders aging that have potential to change way speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are trained provide services individuals with a continuum cognitive communication challenges. SLPs address needs adult who continues reside community desires maintain an independent meaningful life, as well those require supportive residential setting achieve satisfying quality life. Evidence-based strategies intervention...
The purpose of this article is to discuss various types organizational cultures and climates in relationship best practice implementation. Although not specific speech-language pathology, positive are associated with better clinician patient outcomes health care services than dysfunctional and/or hierarchical climates. A goal help the practicing pathologist (SLP) promote culture change skilled nursing facility (SNF) setting. Recommendations improve climate SNFs will be presented through...
Background: Clinicians' attitudes toward older adults can influence the quality of care they provide. The purpose this study was to demonstrate how measure impact service-learning on undergraduate healthcare students' elders and people with dementia using a theory-grounded qualitative quantitative assessment, beyond commonly used pre-test/post-test model. Methods: One-hundred forty-five students across two midwestern universities participated in experiences long-term or assisted living...
Most evidence-based clinical research findings in communication sciences and disorders never achieve full implementation by practicing clinicians. To address this almost universal problem, tutorial focuses on the initial planning steps of including methodologies as part practice programs. Integrating principles science can shift current reality, leading to better uptake interventions.
Purpose: Knowledge brokering is one tool to improve the lines of communication between clinicians and researchers with ultimate goal closing research practice gap. The following review article outlines definitions knowledge brokering; describes attributes activities brokering, including domains illustrates data support role provides a for teams reflect upon their own capabilities. Conclusions: practical tools decrease silos providing best care all populations that we serve. While are hopeful...
