### Strategies for Disseminating Evidence-Based Practice (EBP)
#### Introduction
Sharing EBP results enhances the general knowledge base and advocates for EBP application.
#### Dissemination Strategies
1. **Organizational Presentations**
– **Why**: Directly engage with colleagues and stakeholders, fostering immediate feedback and collaboration.
– **Examples**: Presenting EBP findings at unit meetings or departmental conferences.
– **Barriers**: Limited audience reach; potential resistance to change.
– **Overcoming Barriers**: Encourage open dialogue, provide compelling evidence, and align presentations with organizational goals.
2. **Publication in Peer-Reviewed Journals**
– **Why**: Broadens reach, establishes credibility, and contributes to the academic community.
– **Examples**: Publishing case studies or systematic reviews in nursing journals.
– **Barriers**: Lengthy review process; need for strong writing skills.
– **Overcoming Barriers**: Seek mentorship from experienced researchers, attend writing workshops, and collaborate with co-authors.
#### Less Preferred Strategies
1. **Podium Presentations at National Conferences**
– **Why Not**: High costs, time-consuming, and competitive selection process.
2. **Poster Presentations**
– **Why Not**: Limited interaction and engagement with attendees.
#### Conclusion
Effective dissemination of EBP is crucial for advancing healthcare practices. Selecting suitable strategies and addressing potential barriers can maximize the impact of EBP initiatives.

As your EBP skills grow, you may be called upon to share your expertise with others. While EBP practice is often conducted with unique outcomes in mind, EBP practitioners who share their results can both add to the general body of knowledge and serve as an advocate for the application of EBP.
In this Discussion, you will explore strategies for disseminating EBP within your organization, community, or industry.
To Prepare:
- Review the Resources and reflect on the various strategies presented throughout the course that may be helpful in disseminating effective and widely cited EBP.
- This may include: unit-level or organizational-level presentations, poster presentations, and podium presentations at organizational, local, regional, state, and national levels, as well as publication in peer-reviewed journals.
- Reflect on which type of dissemination strategy you might use to communicate EBP.
Describe two dissemination strategies you would be most inclined to use and explain why. Explain which dissemination strategies you would be least inclined to use and explain why. Identify at least two barriers you might encounter when using the dissemination strategies you are most inclined to use. Be specific and provide examples. Explain how you might overcome the barriers you identified.
