Summary: This review examines the evidence supporting the use of Communities of Practice (CoP) in health research and translation. The study found a lack of evidence regarding the development and efficacy of CoP in this field, emphasizing the need for further empirical research to determine if CoP can enhance the translation of research into clinical practice.

Summary: This scoping review aimed to describe the instruments used to assess the knowledge and skills of evidence-based practice (EBP) in healthcare settings. The review found that most of the instruments used were self-assessment tools, with the Upton and Upton instrument being the most widely used. The content of the instruments focused on EBP, evaluation of current practice, preparation for EBP implementation, implementation of evidence, and active participation in the development of EBP. The review suggested the need for further development of validated knowledge tests and the creation of instruments to assess healthcare professionals' knowledge and skills in evidence implementation.

Summary: The dental practice-based research networks (D-PBRN) play an important role in structuring clinical research in private practices and increasing research scope. The majority of scientific production is from the USA, and D-PBRN helps in studying a higher number of diverse centers, bridging the gap between private practice and research.

Summary: Promoting evidence-based practice (EBP) among nurses is important for improving healthcare, but factors associated with nurses' knowledge and skills in EBP have not been comprehensively analyzed. This study aimed to identify these factors and found that educational level, participation in EBP education, experience conducting research, and resources and organizational support for EBP are important.

Summary: This scoping review integrates the literature on chiropractic utilization by race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. The results show disparities in chiropractic utilization among different racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic populations. The utilization rates are highest among European American/White/non-Hispanic White/Caucasian individuals, those with employment as the main income source, individuals with an income between $40,001 and $60,000, and individuals with a high school diploma or lower education level.

Summary: This article aims to provide an overview of the characteristics, variety, and outcomes of knowledge translation (KT) strategies used in nursing care for adult patients and their family members. The application of KT frameworks in implementing evidence-based family nursing into clinical practice is limited, with a focus on nurses' adoption of family-focused interventions and limited information on the short- and long-term efficacy on family health.

Summary: The article discusses the need for improved evidence-based conservation practice and points out the current lack of evidence intermediary organizations. The authors argue that the lack of evidence bridges from research to practitioners contributes to evidence complacency and limits the use of evidence in conservation action.

Summary: This study aimed to identify and describe theories, models, and frameworks of health research partnerships, and report on the concepts of knowledge user engagement represented in these theories, models, and frameworks. The results showed that among the 39 included models or frameworks, only two were underpinned by theory, and the most common concept of knowledge user engagement was principles/values. These models and frameworks can be used by researchers and knowledge users to guide various aspects of health research partnerships.

Summary: This review identifies the barriers and facilitators to knowledge use and Knowledge Translation (KT) strategies in rehabilitation in low, lower-middle, and upper-middle-income countries (LMICs). The individual-level barriers to KT include lack of skills, knowledge about EBP and English language, lack of motivation, and decision-making power. The organization-level barriers include lack of time, lack of financial resources, limited access to scientific journals, and applicability of research to rural settings. The facilitators include positive attitudes and motivation, adequate financial and physical resources, a supportive management environment, and the existence of training and continuing education programs.

Summary: This review aimed to explore scholarly practice in healthcare professionals. The findings revealed that there is no unified definition of scholarly practice and it is considered as an overarching concept rather than a specific entity. The conceptualizations of scholarly practice revolve around the interdependent relationship between scholarship and practice, advancing the profession's field, and being core to being a healthcare practitioner. The attributes of scholarly practitioners include commitment to excellence in practice, collaborative nature, virtuous characteristics, effective communication skills, and adaptive change ethos. There are similarities between scholarly practitioners and knowledge brokers in terms of attributes and operationalization of scholarly practice.

Summary: This study explores how to better measure evidence-based practice (EBP) in health professions. It identifies and describes the main challenges, recommendations for practice, and areas for future research in measuring EBP as reported by systematic reviews. The findings suggest that existing measures may not fully capture the multidimensional, contextual, and dynamic nature of EBP.

Summary: This study aimed to identify strategies to support the development of evidence-based practice (EBP) competencies among students in occupational therapy (OT), physical therapy (PT), and speech-language pathology (S-LP) programs. The top strategies identified in OT/PT included developing a flexible definition of EBP and providing clinicians with more access to teaching content. In S-LP, the top strategies were providing students with decision-making opportunities with experienced clinicians and increasing interactions between faculty and preceptors.

Summary: Engagement in scholarly practice is associated with professional empowerment and improvements in care delivery and patient outcomes. However, scholarly practice is excluded from competency frameworks in evolving professions like respiratory therapy, resulting in a gap in education and application of this competency. Exploring scholarly practice in respiratory therapy can provide insights into addressing the tensions between meeting competency requirements and providing quality healthcare.
