Knowledge to Impact: From Conceptualizing to Mobilizing the Saskatchewan Caregiver Experience Study
Objectives
Given the rising number of older adults reliant on family and friend caregivers (i.e., those who provide informal care), the Saskatchewan Caregiver Experience Study aimed to examine the experiences of these caregivers in Saskatchewan and identify unmet needs. This paper describes our knowledge translation and mobilization efforts of our study's findings.
Methods
Researchers partnered with the Saskatoon Council on Aging (SCOA) to conduct the study, recruiting 355 family and friend caregivers. We evaluated impacts across conceptualization, data collection and knowledge mobilization using the Knowledge Engagement Impact Assessment Toolkit to assess how effectively our study's design has the potential to impact policy and practice, which involved completing an Assessment Matrix (quantitative assessment) and Assessment Portrait (qualitative assessment). A stakeholder webinar served as the primary knowledge translation event.
Findings
An Assessment Matrix revealed moderate impact scores for conceptualization and knowledge mobilization phases. However, the Assessment Portrait reflected collaboration, thorough policy alignment and outreach. Data collection and analysis scored lower. We reflected on this lower score in the Assessment Portrait as being due to fewer avenues for reciprocal engagement and capacity-building during this stage. Policy recommendations, formed in collaboration with SCOA, were presented at the webinar and called for expanded respite care and streamlined system navigation.
Conclusion
By systematically evaluating research activities, this study highlights the critical role of knowledge translation in shaping caregiver support. Findings reinforce the importance of early and ongoing stakeholder collaboration, user-friendly dissemination methods and targeted policy action. Employing a structured framework for measuring engagement impact can guide targeted interventions, ensuring that caregiver programming, legislative reforms and improved care quality align with evolving population needs and priorities.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice aims to promote the evaluation and development of clinical practice across medicine, nursing and the allied health professions. All aspects of health services research and public health policy analysis and debate are of interest to the Journal whether studied from a population-based or individual patient-centred perspective. Of particular interest to the Journal are submissions on all aspects of clinical effectiveness and efficiency including evidence-based medicine, clinical practice guidelines, clinical decision making, clinical services organisation, implementation and delivery, health economic evaluation, health process and outcome measurement and new or improved methods (conceptual and statistical) for systematic inquiry into clinical practice. Papers may take a classical quantitative or qualitative approach to investigation (or may utilise both techniques) or may take the form of learned essays, structured/systematic reviews and critiques.
