“…Knowledge sharing initiatives like outcome measure databases, 24 wikis and shared repositories, 25 online decision-making support systems 26,27 and evidence alert systems 28 have also been implemented to support allied health clinicians. Keeping these resources up to date has been flagged as a potential barrier to use, 24 as this task is time and resource intensive.…”

“…Other resources and support for KT can include in-kind contributions, enabling interdisciplinary collaboration and the sharing of existing resources. 25,26,34 A significant minority of knowledge partners reported lacking access to non-financial resources and support for KT, which were usually arranged and organised informally. Aside from resources specific to the knowledge being translated, allied health clinicians have also expressed a desire for resources that support their use of the TAHK Framework in practice.…”

“…The social network for an allied health KT project may be either single or multi-disciplinary. 20,26,28,34,76 Mixed disciplinary groups are more prevalent in the literature, 28 although the constituent disciplines are not always individually identified under the umbrella term of allied health. 15,27 Knowledge partners also often mentioned patient, consumer and carer involvement in allied health KT project teams, although this is not common practice currently and is more often seen as an aspiration for the future.…”

“…Allied health clinicians at all levels of the workforce are engaged in KT, 25,26 and knowledge partners consulted during the development of the TAHK framework were also diverse in their background and level of experience. While experience in the allied health practice context is invaluable to KT, older clinicians now in senior roles may have qualified before training in evidence-based practice and/or KT formed part of pre-registration education.…”

“…Both multidisciplinary and discipline specific approaches to allied health KT have been identified as effective, 25,26,28 with much depending on the context and nature of the clinical issues being addressed. While many of the knowledge partners consulted focused their projects on their own discipline, most had the potential for multidisciplinary application (eg, falls prevention, sensory modulation).…”

Background: While evidence-based practice is a familiar concept to allied health clinicians, knowledge translation (KT) is less well known and understood. The need for a framework that enables allied health clinicians to access and engage with KT was identified. The aim of this paper is to describe the development of the Translating Allied Health Knowledge (TAHK) Framework. Methods: An iterative and collaborative process involving clinician and academic knowledge partners was utilised to develop the TAHK Framework. Multiple methods were utilised during this process, including a systematic literature review, steering committee consultation, mixed methods survey, benchmarking and measurement property analysis. Results: The TAHK Framework has now been finalised, and is described in detail. The framework is structured around four domains – Doing Knowledge Translation, Social Capital for Knowledge Translation, Sustaining Knowledge Translation and Inclusive Knowledge Translation – under which 14 factors known to influence allied health KT are classified. The formulation of the framework to date has laid a rigorous foundation for further developments, including clinician support and outcome measurement. Conclusion: The method of development adopted for the TAHK Framework has ensured it is both evidence and practice based, and further amendments and modifications are anticipated as new knowledge becomes available. The Framework will enable allied health clinicians to build on their existing capacities for KT, and approach this complex process in a rigorous and systematic manner. The TAHK Framework offers a unique focus on how knowledge is translated by allied health clinicians in multidisciplinary settings.

Evidence-based guideline translation to practice can improve outcomes but is often impaired by poor implementation. This project aimed to evaluate the implementation of the Evidence-based guidelines for the nutritional management of adult patients with head and neck cancer among Australian dietitians providing clinical care to this population.Methods: A questionnaire was developed, with face and content validity confirmed by an expert panel (n = 13), to gauge participant perceptions of the guidelines against an implementation evaluation framework. Dietitians were identified through Dietitians Australia and by contacting experts in the field. Eligibility was determined by questionnaire completion and prior guideline awareness. Responses were provided using a 5-point Likert scale. Results were analysed using descriptive statistics; with inferential analysis to determine if demographic information could reveal trends in guideline use and perception.Results: Of the 43 initial respondents, n = 28 completed the questionnaire, with n = 24/28 (86%) meeting full eligibility criteria for analysis. Median (range) scores for all four domains were high: awareness (4.0 [3.2-4.8]), agreement (4.4 [4.1-4.7]), adoption (3.5 [3.1-3.9]), and adherence (4.3 [4.1-4.9]).However, perception of guideline awareness and use among multidisciplinary team colleagues was low (mean 3.2/5.0 and 3.1/5.0, respectively). Dietitians with <10 years' experience had significantly higher perceptions of the guidelines' ability to positively influence practice; support evidence-based practice; and enhance dietitian credibility (P = 0.04) vs dietitians with ≥10 years' experience.Conclusion: Dietitians demonstrated high rates of guideline implementation and positive perceptions for its use in clinical practice. Future implementation strategies and evaluation should expand to engage the wider multidisciplinary team and more experienced clinicians.

Background: Preschool-aged children of disadvantaged households in Nepal have a higher prevalence rate of under nutrition. A major contributing reason is the inadequate maternal knowledge, existing taboos and unscientific food recommendation practices.Aim: This pilot study evaluates the impact of the rice pudding feeding programme on child health and calculates the costs of the preparation. Materials and Methods:A before-and-after study of children aged under-five attending a day-care centre in remote Nepal. Children's weight, height and MUAC (Mid-Upper Arm Circumference) were compared before and after the rice pudding programme which lasted 54 days.Results: 42 children (boys 43% & girls 57%), of whom 90% had gained weight whilst the weight of the remaining 10% of children stayed constant. Similarly, 78% had increased MUAC while 12% of 2 children improved slightly. The study was inexpensive, US$ 0.34 per day per child and likely to be cost-effective. Conclusion:A regular healthy diet of rice pudding helps children's nutritional need. It is important to consider right dietary practice, including portion sizes, and community awareness about healthy diet and impact of child health as well as sustainability. KeyMessages a) Significantly improved child's weight and MUAC. b) Partnership programme leads to cost-effectiveness and sustainability of the programme. c) This programme could be replicated in the similar areas in Nepal.
