Translating Project Outcomes to Practice (Evidenced-Based)

How are you Camille?

Basic principles of data interpretation including reliability and validity of the data is crucial for your Direct practice improvement (DPI). The research should only measure what it sets out to measure. The correct data collection methods should be applied for the data to be valid concerning the benefit the project has on breastfeeding babies.

The basic principles of data interpretation contribute to common barriers when translating research outcomes into practice which should not be the case since they are endowed with different phenomena. To make quick decisions, a raft of mutually agreed objective guidelines must fast be drawn by the medical experts (Curtis et al., 2016). Many researchers underestimate the value of appraising the research findings. However, they should understand that the critical appraisal process is crucial in reducing time taken to go through loads of information.

I think a lack of proper communication between the researcher and the beneficiaries of the research results can reduce the usefulness of the research results. There are many methods of reporting or disseminating research results. The most common one is through uploading in the university repository (Bach-Mortensen et al., 2018). However, the direct involvement of the researcher is necessary in enabling ease of understanding and interpreting the research findings. The recipients of the data results should be convinced until they understand how the findings will improve health care provision.

I wish you all the best!
