Summary
Canadian Regional Training Centres developed new programs to enhance graduate students' knowledge translation and exchange (KTE) skills. Early feedback indicates these initiatives are promising for improving research application.
Area of Science:
- Health Sciences Education
- Knowledge Translation
- Research Implementation
Background:
- Canadian Regional Training Centres (RTCs) aim to bridge the gap between research and practice.
- Graduate education often lacks specific training in knowledge translation and exchange (KTE).
Purpose of the Study:
- To overview curriculum and program development at four RTCs.
- To enhance graduate students' capacity in knowledge translation and exchange (KTE).
Main Methods:
- Development of a four-year doctoral residency program.
- Implementation of Web-based and interactive theory courses.
- Establishment of collaborations with journalism departments.
Main Results:
- RTCs employed diverse strategies for skill development.
- New educational programs and interdisciplinary linkages were created.
- Interim student feedback has been positive, though formal evaluation is pending.
Conclusions:
- RTCs are actively innovating educational approaches for KTE.
- These initiatives show potential for improving research-to-action translation.
- Further evaluation is needed to confirm the long-term impact of these programs.

01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about insulin...
01:18Introduction to Learning
Learning is the process of acquiring knowledge or skills through practice or experience, leading to long-lasting behavioral changes. This acquisition occurs through interaction with the environment and requires practice or experience. For instance, mastering a skill such as surfing requires considerable practice and experience, highlighting the essential role of repeated interactions with the environment in learning.

01:29Impression Management Techniques III: Aligning Actions
Aligning actions are communicative strategies individuals employ to maintain social harmony and preserve personal identity in the face of potential disruptions to social norms. These actions are particularly important in managing social impressions when one's behavior might be seen as inappropriate, incompetent, or morally questionable.Types of Aligning ActionsThe three principal types of aligning actions are disclaimers, accounts, and apologies.DisclaimersDisclaimers are preventive; they are...
01:21Cognitive Learning
Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.

01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis
The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.

01:20Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning, patient...
