Dissemination of Evidence
A study should not end with the discovery of the results; it should be followed by dissemination. People can translate a research finding into action or practice through dissemination. It is necessary to disseminate for the healthcare system to change and adopt new methods, concepts, and innovations. Thus, this paper will focus on the principles of good dissemination and how to plan for dissemination. In addition, since there are numerous methods for disseminating evidence, this paper will only focus on using the three Ps, or papers, posters, and presentations (Dudley-Brown, 2019). Finally, this paper will determine the researcher’s dissemination plan for the study. In conclusion, the dissemination of evidence is essential in effecting changes in the healthcare system and translating pieces of evidence into actions.
Principles of Good Dissemination
The dissemination of evidence is concerned with reaching the intended audience for the research. The research must serve its purpose of reaching, helping, or informing its intended audience, or it will be completely ineffective if it does not. The principles of good dissemination include engaging the stakeholders, utilizing a correct format, taking advantage of the opportunities available, and understanding the context. Engaging the stakeholders or people involved in the research is necessary to gain people who await the results. Furthermore, it is critical to use a format that will be fully grasped and understood by a broad range of people. Also, it is critical to capitalize on opportunities by establishing and strengthening connections that will allow for the exchange of ideas and increased awareness of the work. Finally, it must understand the context well to contribute to existing knowledge (National Institute for Health and Care Research, 2019). Therefore, these principles will allow the evidence to reach its specific audience.
Dissemination Plan
A dissemination plan must be developed before disseminating the evidence. Identifying the objectives, audience, timeline, resources, and methods is necessary. To define goals, it is necessary first to identify the objectives. For instance, research may be conducted to raise awareness, change a practice, or propose innovations. As a result, to produce an accurate and efficient result, a researcher must first identify their objective. Second, it is critical to identify the target audience. The research findings must be beneficial to the target audience. Third, the timeline must be considered to determine the best time to disseminate the evidence. Fourth, it is necessary to determine the resources by considering the funds that will be used, as well as the people who are experts in a specific field who can help in the dissemination process. Finally, consider the dissemination strategies or methods (National Institute for Health and Care Research, 2019). There are numerous methods, but multiple concurrent methods will result in successful dissemination (Dudley-Brown, 2019). Hence, it is essential to create a dissemination plan to help the actual dissemination process succeed.
