An exploratory qualitative study was conducted to explore how child welfare administrators use research evidence in decision-making. Content analysis revealed that a cultural shift toward evidence-based practice (EBP) is occurring in Canadian child welfare organizations and multiple types of evidence inform policy decisions. Barriers to using evidence include individual, organizational, and environmental factors. Facilitating factors include the development of internal champions and organizational cultures that value EBP. Integrating research into practice and policy decisions requires a multifaceted approach of creating organizational cultures that support research utilization and supporting senior bureaucrats to use research evidence in policy development.
开展了一项探索性定性研究，以探究儿童福利管理人员在决策过程中如何运用研究证据。内容分析表明，加拿大儿童福利组织正在发生向循证实践（EBP）的文化转变，多种类型的证据为政策决策提供依据。使用证据的障碍包括个人、组织和环境因素。促进因素包括内部倡导者的培养以及重视循证实践的组织文化。将研究纳入实践和政策决策需要采取多方面的方法，即营造支持研究利用的组织文化，并支持高级官员在政策制定中运用研究证据。
