Implementing Family Nursing: How Do We Translate Knowledge Into Clinical Practice? Part II: The Evolution of 20 Years of Teaching,Research,and Practice to a Center of Excellence in Family Nursing
The author’s reflections on knowledge transfer/translation highlight the importance of the circular process between science and practice knowledge, leading to the notion of “knowledge exchange.” She addresses the dilemmas of translating knowledge into clinical practice by describing her academic contributions to knowledge exchange within Family Systems Nursing (FSN). Teaching and research strategies are offered that address the circularity between science and practice knowledge. The evolution of 20 years of teaching, research, and clinical experience has resulted in the recent creation of a Center of Excellence in Family Nursing at the University of Montreal. The three main objectives of the Center uniquely focus on knowledge exchange by providing (a) a training context for skill development for nurses specializing in FSN, (b) a research milieu for knowledge “creation” and knowledge “in action” studies to further advance the practice of FSN, and (c) a family healing setting to support families who experience difficulty coping with health issues.
