Dissemination of Evidence : 

Dissemination of Evidence Who needs to know? (Key audiences) Fellow colleagues Policy makers General Public Research Funders Business & Industry Employers Other disciplines Motivators: Improved Health Quality Patient Care Better Research Increased Funding Policy Change Increased resources “Dissemination is an essential part of the research process and should be an integral part of the research plan. If you don’t disseminate then your work is unlikely to become a part of the solution to the problem” (Silcock, 2009, p.5)

Dissemination of Evidence : 

Dissemination of Evidence “No matter how successful the research, improvements in care will only follow if the findings are communicated to the relevant people” (Silcock, 2009, p.5) Nursing Journal Articles: Journal of Nursing Education Nursing Research Nursing Management Presentation at a Conference / Seminar: Poster or Oral American Nurses Association American Association of Colleges of Nursing National League for Nurses Miscellaneous: the lay press: local or national newspapers internet, national / local nursing organizations television /radio hospital newsletters reports to research funders/hospital administrators/ business and industry letters to congressman/senators reports to University/College President’s
