“…Seminal work in IS has led to expanding interest in knowledge translation and the gap between evidence‐to‐practice in health care (Casey, O' Leary, & Coghlan, ). To facilitate this process, a range of theories and frameworks have been developed to guide the dissemination–implementation process and inform clinicians of the actions needed to expedite the process (Casey, O' Leary, & Coghlan, ; Rycroft‐Malone, ). Arguably, one of the founding IS instruments is The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), which was developed to promote implementation theories and define “what works where and why” (Damschroder et al, , p. 1).…”

Aims and objectives To synthesise international research that relates to midwives' use of best available evidence in practice settings and identify key issues relating to the translation of latest evidence into everyday maternity care. Background Midwifery is a research‐informed profession. However, a gap persists in the translation of best available evidence into practice settings, compromising gold standard maternity care and delaying the translation of new knowledge into everyday practice. Design A five‐step integrative review approach, based on a series of articles published by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) for conducting systematic reviews, was used to facilitate development of a search strategy, selection criteria and quality appraisal process, and the extraction and synthesis of data to inform an integrative review. Methods The databases CINAHL, MEDLINE, Web of Science, Implementation Science Journal and Scopus were searched for relevant articles. The screening and quality appraisal process complied with the PRISMA 2009 checklist. Narrative analysis was used to develop sub‐categories and dimensions from the data, which were then synthesised to form two major categories that together answer the review question. Results The six articles reviewed report on midwives' use of best available evidence in Australia, the UK and Asia. Two major categories emerged that confirm that although midwifery values evidence‐based practice (EBP), evidence‐informed maternity care is not always employed in clinical settings. Additionally, closure of the evidence‐to‐practice gap in maternity care requires a multidimensional approach. Conclusion Collaborative partnerships between midwives and researchers are necessary to initiate strategies that support midwives' efforts to facilitate the timely movement of best available evidence into practice. Relevance to clinical practice Understanding midwives' use of best available evidence in practice will direct future efforts towards the development of mechanisms that facilitate the timely uptake of latest evidence by all maternity care providers working in clinical settings.

“…An improved system will ultimately result in nurses' increased commitment to the organizations in which they work.. Until now, no interventional studies have focused on the impact of improved performance appraisal process on nurses' organizational commitment. Acknowledging that effective practice requires pluralism in research methodology, action research has been increasingly implemented in healthcare research (Casey, O' Leary, & Coghlan, 2018). The focus of this methodology will be on gaining an understanding of the process of change involved in introducing, developing and sustaining the evidence-based intervention and examining the impact of the intervention on nurses by using a broad range of quantitative and qualitative methods.…”

Aims:To promote the nurses' organizational commitment by their participation in the improvement of the performance appraisal process.Background: Organizational commitment is one of the factors that secures safe and high-quality care of patients. It also enhances motivation among nurses, which affected by various factors such as performance appraisal. Method: A participatory action research study was undertaken (March 2015 toFebruary 2018) with 39 intensive critical care nurses and nurse managers in Social Security Hospital in Iran, using a complete enumeration sampling method. The data were collected using organizational commitment and job satisfaction questionnaires, focus groups, semi-structured interviews and Delphi technique.Results: Three major themes emerged including inappropriate performance appraisal system, inefficient instruments and unskilled evaluators. There were significant differences between organizational commitment and job satisfaction with performance appraisal process before and after the change in appraisal process. Conclusions:Nurses' involvement in revising and improving the process of their performance appraisal leads to higher commitment. Implications for Nursing Management: Maintaining a committed nursing workforceis vital for high-quality health care. Nurse Managers can improve the process of nurses' appraisal to make more motivation among them and prevent some problems such as job dissatisfaction.

An adapted cascade model to scale primary school digital education curricular reforms and teacher professional development programs

Many countries struggle to effectively introduce Digital Education (DE) to all K-12 students as they lack adequately trained teachers. While cascade models of in-service teacher-professional development (PD) can rapidly deploy PD-programs through multiple levels of trainers to reach all teachers, they suffer from many limitations and are often ineffective. We therefore propose an adapted cascade model to deploy a primary school DE teacher-PD program throughout an administrative region. The model relies on teacher-trainers who (i) are active teachers in the region, (ii) have a prolonged trainer-PD with experts who piloted the teacher-PD program to acquire adult-trainer and DE-related competences, and (iii) are supported by the experts throughout the deployment. To validate the deployment model we used data from 14 teacher-trainers, the 700 teachers they trained, and 350 teachers trained by experts. The teacher-trainer findings demonstrate that the adapted cascade model effectively addresses most cascade models’ limitations. The teacher-related findings further validate the adapted cascade model in terms of perception, motivation and adoption which are at least equivalent to those obtained with the experts. To conclude, the adapted cascade model is an effective means of spreading primary school DE PD-programs at a large scale and can be used in other DE reforms.
