Strategies for Disseminating Research Findings in Healthcare

This report focuses on strategies for disseminating research findings, particularly within the healthcare field. The author explores three primary methods: publication in journals, presentations, and policy briefs. The report emphasizes the importance of disseminating research results to a wider audience, highlighting the benefits and challenges associated with each strategy. Publication allows for reaching a large audience, while presentations offer direct interaction with other scientists. Policy briefs offer a concise method of dissemination. The author also references several sources to support the discussion, discussing how the choice of dissemination strategy impacts the success of the research. Overall, the report underscores the need for researchers to be well-versed in various dissemination methods to maximize the impact of their work.

Introduction (Summary of
research finding)
 My project was about Incorporating Clinical Decision Support System
for nursing practice.
 It enhances decision making process
 Improves safety
 Improves quality of healthcare in nursing.
Methods to disseminate:
 Policy briefs
 Publication
 Presentations.

Publications in journals
 The first method or strategy that I would use to disseminate research
findings is publication in national journals and statewide publication.
Advantages
 It can reach a large number of people
 Easy to repeat the research to confirm results.
Challenges
 It is expensive

Presentation
 Presentation through meetings is the other method that I can use to disseminate my
research findings.
Challenges
 Time consuming
Benefits
 Direct interaction with other scientists(Ribeiro-Soriano & Berbegal-Mirabent, 2017).

Publishing program or policy
briefs
 This another method that I would use to disseminate my research
findings.
Advantages
 Time saving
 Easy
Challenges
 Not conducive to some stakeholders.

conclusion
After conducting any study, it is imperative that the results are disseminated to the
audience. Strategies that can be employed include publication, presentation and finally
policy briefs. The choice of any strategy has a direct implication on the success of the
research. It is therefore necessary that all scientists get acquainted with these strategies.
