What are the Barriers to Effective Knowledge Translation?
Several barriers can impede the effective translation of knowledge in nursing, including:
- Lack of Awareness: Nurses may not be aware of new research findings. - Resistance to Change: There can be reluctance to change established practices. - Resource Limitations: Lack of time, staffing, or financial resources can hinder KT efforts. - Complexity of Research: Some research findings may be difficult to interpret and apply in practice. - Organizational Culture: An organization's culture may not always support innovation or change.
