Building Bridges: Establishing a Multiple Sclerosis Rehabilitation Research and Clinical Knowledge Mobilization Strategy.
Background: Evidence to guide multiple sclerosis (MS) rehabilitation and symptomatic care has grown, yet suboptimal access to care persists and uptake of evidence-based information is limited in practice. The movement of evidence into routine clinical care is not a spontaneous or linear process. Eff...

The movement of evidence into routine clinical care is not a spontaneous or linear process. Effective knowledge mobilization strategies may enhance equitable access to evidenced-based comprehensive MS care. Methods: To guide the development of a MS rehabilitation knowledge mobilization strategy with priorities and action items a Canadian summit was hosted to engage key stakeholders in identifying and discussing current MS rehabilitation and symptomatic care evidence and needs. This multifaceted summit included workshops, breakout groups, presentations, brainstorming, and consensus-building. Results: Forty-three key stakeholders participated. Varied disciplines, Canadian geographical regions, and content expertise were represented. This included early/mid/late-career researchers, healthcare providers, and people with MS. The summit process identified 18 key need statements. Participants individually rated the identified need statements on feasibility and importance, and the relationships in terms of timeliness and impact were discussed. The three top priorities were identified and focused on for action planning. Developing a best-practice guideline for MS rehabilitation was unanimously identified as the critical first step to improve access to care. Support for healthcare providers and establishing a network to support this knowledge mobilization work were the next two priorities. Priority topic areas for knowledge mobilization were fatigue, mobility, cognition, mood and emotion, and rehabilitation across the MS disease course. Conclusion: Knowledge mobilization priorities and key topic areas for MS rehabilitation have been identified using a collaborative process. The lessons learned from this summit will inform advocacy efforts for improved access to evidence-based comprehensive care and opportunities to support moving a sustainable MS rehabilitation knowledge mobilization agenda forward. Creating a formalized Canadian MS Rehab Knowledge Mobilization Network was an outcome of the summit, and our network will collaboratively support advancing and re-evaluating this agenda. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
