The effective dissemination of evidence-based practices (EBPs) in healthcare is a critical component in improving patient outcomes, yet implementing such practices swiftly and effectively remains a challenge. As observed by Melnyk (2012), research often lags behind clinical application, which necessitates strategic dissemination methods to bridge this gap. While multiple strategies exist, selecting appropriate dissemination channels involves understanding their strengths, limitations, and potential barriers.

One widely used method is poster presentations, which facilitate active engagement and quick dissemination of information. Posters serve as visual summaries that can be strategically placed in high-traffic areas such as hospital corridors or staff lounges to maximize visibility (Rowe & Ilic, 2009). An additional enhancement is supplementing posters with small group demonstrations or interactive sessions, allowing clinicians to clarify doubts in real-time, thus overcoming the passive nature of static displays. According to Corkill (2012), integrating educational posters with interactive components increases knowledge retention and practice change. Ensuring content clarity, appropriate visual aids, and succinct messaging are crucial in overcoming challenges related to content overload or ambiguity.

Peer-reviewed journal articles are another dissemination avenue favored among researchers due to their rigorous review process, which ensures quality and credibility (Coomarasamy et al., 2001). These articles provide comprehensive evidence and stimulate scholarly discourse; however, barriers such as limited access and time constraints often hamper their utilization. To address access limitations, healthcare institutions can subscribe to relevant databases or negotiate institutional access, thereby promoting wider readership among staff (Brownson et al., 2018). Additionally, employing structured abstracts or executive summaries enables busy clinicians to quickly determine the relevance of articles, facilitating timely incorporation into practice.

Despite the advantages, dissemination via podium presentations at national conferences may be less effective for some EBPs, primarily due to issues of scalability and audience engagement. Bressler et al. (2004) highlight that oral presentations often lack interactivity and can be misinterpreted in virtual environments, potentially limiting their impact. Moreover, the scalability of such presentations is constrained by logistical factors, including funding, attendance, and varying audience interests. To counteract these limitations, leveraging digital platforms—such as webinars or online modules—can enhance reach, engagement, and comprehension across diverse geographic locations.

Overcoming barriers to effective dissemination hinges on a multifaceted approach tailored to organizational contexts. Encouraging a culture that values continuous learning and evidence-based practice is fundamental. Integrating regular training sessions, mentorship programs, and leadership support fosters an environment where evidence translation becomes habitual. Furthermore, using champions or opinion leaders within clinical settings can motivate peers to adopt EBPs more readily (Mick, 2017). Emphasizing the relevance and clinical benefits of EBPs during organizational meetings increases staff buy-in, mitigating resistance rooted in perceived complexity or irrelevance.

In conclusion, diversified dissemination strategies—such as visual posters, peer-reviewed publications, and digital platforms—are vital for effective knowledge transfer. Addressing barriers like limited access, time constraints, and resistance to change through institutional support, targeted education, and cultural shifts significantly enhances the adoption of evidence-based practices in healthcare settings.
