Scoping reviews, a type of knowledge synthesis, follow systematic approach to map evidence on topic and identify main concepts, theories, sources, gaps. Although more scoping reviews are being done, their methodological reporting quality need improvement. This document presents the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Meta-Analyses extension Reviews) checklist explanation. The was developed by 24-member expert panel 2 research leads following published guidance from EQUATOR...
Scoping studies are an increasingly popular approach to reviewing health research evidence. In 2005, Arksey and O'Malley published the first methodological framework for conducting scoping studies. While this provides excellent foundation study methodology, further clarifying enhancing will help support consistency with which authors undertake report may encourage researchers clinicians engage in process.We build upon our experiences three using methodology propose recommendations that...
Implementing new practices requires changes in the behaviour of relevant actors, and this is facilitated by understanding determinants current desired behaviours. The Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) was developed a collaboration behavioural scientists implementation researchers who identified theories to grouped constructs from these into domains. aimed provide comprehensive, theory-informed approach identify behaviour. first version published 2005, subsequent following validation...

Electronic practice data are increasingly being used to provide feedback encourage improvement. However, evidence suggests that despite decades of experience, the effects such interventions vary greatly and not improving over time. Guidance on providing more effective does exist, but it is distributed across a wide range disciplines theoretical perspectives. Through expert interviews; systematic reviews; experience with providing, evaluating, receiving feedback, 15 suggestions believed be...
Audit and feedback interventions in healthcare have been found to be effective, but there has little progress with respect understanding their mechanisms of action or identifying key 'active ingredients.' Given the increasing use audit improve quality care, it is imperative focus further research on how when works best. In this paper, we argue that continuing 'business as usual' approach evaluating two-arm trials against usual care for common problems settings unlikely contribute new...
Scoping studies (or reviews) are a method used to comprehensively map evidence across range of study designs in an area, with the aim informing future research practice, programs and policy. However, no universal agreement exists on terminology, definition or methodological steps. Our was understand experiences of, considerations for conducting scoping from perspective academic community partners. Primary objectives were 1) describe including strengths challenges; 2) perspectives definition,...
Audit and feedback (A&F) is a common strategy for helping health providers to implement evidence into practice. Despite being extensively studied, care A&F interventions remain variably effective, with overall effect sizes that have not improved since 2003. Contributing this stagnation the fact most largely been designed without informed by theoretical understanding from behavioral social sciences. To determine if trend can be improved, objective of study was develop list testable,...

Despite increasing evidence for the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR)-based therapy in stroke rehabilitation, few knowledge translation (KT) resources exist to support clinical integration. KT interventions addressing known barriers and facilitators VR use are required. When environmental integration less amenable change, can target modifiable related therapist skills. A multi-faceted intervention was designed implemented physical occupational therapists two rehabilitation units...

Research increasingly means that patients, caregivers, health professionals, other stakeholders, and academic investigators work in partnership. This requires effective collaboration rooted mutual respect, involvement of all participants, good communication. Having conducted such partnered research over multiple projects, having recently completed a project together funded by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Institute, we collaboratively developed list 12 lessons have learned about how to...

Patient decision aids aim to present evidence relevant a health in understandable ways support patients through the process of making evidence-informed, values-congruent decisions. It is recommended that, when developing these tools, teams involve people who may ultimately use them. However, there little empirical about how best undertake this involvement, particularly for specific populations users such as vulnerable populations.To describe and compare development practices research that...
