Purpose
The purpose of the article was give an introduction to a
conceptual framework to guide the design, implementation, and diffusion of research for the purpose of increasing research utilization for EBP by occupational therapy practitioners.
explicit, and judicious use of the current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients (Sackett, Richardson, Rosenberg, & Haynes, 1997).

Factors negatively affecting the potential for high quality patient care:
Slow diffusion of research findings into practice Scarcity of practice-based research

process and the factors influencing communication (diffusion) of an idea, practice, or object that is perceived as new (innovation).

experiences and the current needs Complexity : Difficulty to understand Triability : Degree of usage Observability : Visibility of results These characteristics influence the eventual use of the innovation by the user.

According to The Diffusions of Innovations Theory utilization of research for EBP should increase if :
Research findings have relative advantage over other types of evidences. Research conduct has good compatibility. Research has less complexity. Research findings have good triability. Research findings are observable.

importance. Three questions to assess SV of the research process and outcomes are: 1. Are the goals of the intervention relevant to the society? 2. Are the intervention techniques acceptable to the consumer or do they cost too much in terms of effort, discomfort, ethics etc. 3. Are the consumers satisfied with the intervention outcomes?

SV achieves this by involving both the consumers and the practitioners in the research process.

Ecological Validity
Ecological Validity (EV) is defined as the functional
and predictive relationship between a persons performance on a test and his or her performance in a variety of real-world settings (Sbordone, 1996).
EV emphasizes the importance of conveying research
Clinical Significance
Clinical Significance is defined as a way to move
beyond merely showing statistically significant change (Kazdin & Kendall, 1988) because statistically significant differences between groups do not necessarily indicate practical, meaningful, or clinically significant differences between groups (Ogles, Lunnen & Bonesteel, 2001)
Hence it helps increase Observability.

Message:
The success of Evidence Based Practice depends on utilization of research findings. Hence research should be designed, conducted and presented in a manner which would facilitate greater utilization of research findings in to clinical practice.
