Publication: Canadian Journal of Community Mental Health
7 May 2021
Abstract
In most developed countries, health systems are attempting to compensate for underuse scientific evidence and its integration into healthcare services and practices. This qualitative study aimed to identify perceived benefits of a knowledge translation program implemented within mental health community services ((At your fingertips, Quebec, 2016-2018)). Results suggests that the production of a collaborative platform composed of a variety of activities and techno-educational tools, derived from integrated knowledge, facilitates the uptake by professionals in a context of reflective practices. Dissemination of these tools through technology of information and communication provides access to best recovery-oriented practices at your fingertips.
Résumé
Dans la plupart des pays développés, les systèmes de santé tentent de palier la sous-utilisation des évidences scientifiques et leur intégration dans les services et pratiques de santé. Cette étude qualitative vise à identifier les retombées perçues d’un programme d’application des connaissances implanté au sein des services de soutien dans la communauté en santé mentale (À portée de main, Québec, 2016-2018). Les résultats suggèrent que la plateforme collaborative du programme, composée d’une trousse d’outils techno-éducatifs issus de connaissances intégrées, facilite l’appropriation des connaissances dans un contexte de pratiques réflexives. L’utilisation des technologies de l’information et de la communication donne accès aux meilleures pratiques axées vers le rétablissement.
