Knowledge Translation Plan to Diffuse, Disseminate and Apply Evidence on Children Exposed to Intimate Partner Violence

Abstract

Background: A consistent body of evidence shows that childhood exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) represents a major risk factor for the development of a wide range of short-and long-term adjustment problems that span virtually all spheres of functioning. Although knowledge translation (KT) has the potential to improve the value of research evidence by making it available to professionals who can use them to promote the health of children exposed to IPV such as nurses, KT of research findings concerning this population has received very little attention in the literature.
