This special communication identifies evidence-based recommendations and offers action items to facilitate the uptake of new knowledge from the National Study of Excellence in Pediatric Physical Therapy Education (NSE-Peds).
The NSE-Peds identified a conceptual framework consisting of 4 key dimensions and associated elements that dynamically interact to prepare future physical therapists to meet the needs of society. The conceptual framework serves as the Knowledge Creation component of the knowledge to action (KTA) framework, but translation into practice requires the Action Cycle, the second component of the KTA framework. Recommendations and action items provide tangible products derived from the NSE-Peds conceptual framework for application in the Action Cycle.
Using the KTA framework, implementation of the recommendations at the level of the individual, program, and organization should enhance pediatric physical therapy education and ultimately physical therapy care provided to children and families.
本专题通讯旨在确定循证建议，并提供行动项目，以促进从卓越儿科物理治疗教育国家研究（NSE-Peds）中获取新知识。
NSE-Peds 确定了一个由 4 个关键维度和相关元素组成的概念框架，这些维度和元素动态相互作用，为未来的物理治疗师做好准备，以满足社会的需求。该概念框架是知识转化为行动（KTA）框架的知识创造部分，但要将其转化为实践，需要知识转化为行动（KTA）框架的第二个组成部分——行动循环。建议和行动项目提供了源自 NSE-Peds 概念框架的具体产品，可应用于行动循环。
使用 KTA 框架，在个人、项目和组织层面实施这些建议，应能加强儿科物理治疗教育，并最终改善为儿童及其家庭提供的物理治疗服务。
