Abstract

Expanding shared governance beyond practice issues reaps positive outcomes such as quality staff leadership, enhanced communication to all nursing staff and increased high-level decision making beyond practice issues. Decisions may take slightly longer than with one council, as the cycle-time through multiple councils is greater, but recommendations are made with greater staff input and have a greater opportunity for success. Because of current changes in skill-mix and patient-focused care systems, involving staff in management, education, and quality issues as well as practice ones helps staff to successfully implement new delivery systems.

How can we increase translation of research into practice? Types of evidence needed.

This review summarizes key factors that have interfered with translation of research to practice and what public health researchers can do to hasten such transfer, focusing on characteristics of interventions, target settings, and research designs. The need to address context and to utilize research, review, and reporting practices that address external validity issues-such as designs that focus on replication, and practical clinical and behavioral trials-are emphasized. Although there has been increased emphasis on social-ecological interventions that go beyond the individual level, interventions often address each component as if it were an independent intervention. Greater attention is needed to connectedness across program levels and components. Finally, examples are provided of evaluation models and current programs that can help accelerate translation of research to practice and policy.
