Accelerating research evidence translation through dyadic engagement: A developing model for evidence-based practice implementation

@#Evidence-based practice (EBP) has been regarded as the gold standard of clinical practice in the health profession. However, even though the importance of EBP is well documented in the nursing literature, in developing countries, its implementation remains a challenge. In addition to individual and organizational barriers to EBP implementation, the existence of the academician-clinician divide is a critical concern. This seeming disconnect has significantly hampered the translation of knowledge into practice. Hence, collaborative dyadic engagements between the academician and clinicians have to be nurtured. The Accelerating Research evidence translation through Dyadic Engagement (ARDE) Model, a pragmatic way of facilitating the enculturation of EBP, is proposed and collaborative efforts in solving clinically relevant nursing issues will pave the way for EBP to become an integral part of clinical practice.
