TO PREPARE:
Review the Week 5 Learning Resources. Pay particular attention to the featured frameworks/models, below, in the White, Dudley-Brown, and Terhaar text.
Identify the translation science framework or model that is most relevant to your practice problem from among the following three models and consider your reasoning:
Roger’s Diffusion of Innovations (pp. 36–39);
Knowledge-to-Action (pp. 42–45);
Theory of Reasoned Action (pp. 66–67).
Assess your understanding of “translation science” and how you would explain it in the context of evidence-based practice and quality improvement.
With these thoughts in mind …
Post an explanation of the translation science framework or model that you selected and explain why it is most relevant to your practice problem. Be specific and provide examples.
