Although evidence-based practice is the current practice approach recommended for use in occupational therapy, practitioners often report difficulties in using research evidence because of its content and presentation. This paper discusses a conceptual model that researchers can use to create research evidence that is easier for practitioners to understand and use. The Diffusion of Innovations Theory is used as a framework to identify desirable characteristics that may facilitate practitioners' adoption and utilization of research evidence. The concepts of social validity, ecological validity, and clinical significance are presented and discussed as ways to create those desirable characteristics that could make research information more usable for evidence-based practice. Examples for implementation of the conceptual model are also discussed.
尽管循证实践是目前职业治疗中推荐使用的实践方法，但从业者经常报告称，由于研究证据的内容和呈现方式，他们在使用研究证据时存在困难。本文讨论了一种概念模型，研究人员可以使用该模型来创建更容易被从业者理解和使用的研究证据。创新扩散理论被用作一个框架，以确定可能促进从业者采用和利用研究证据的理想特征。社会效度、生态效度和临床意义的概念被提出并讨论，作为创造这些理想特征的方法，这些特征可以使研究信息更适用于循证实践。还讨论了概念模型的实施示例。
