Worldwide, it is estimated that a quarter of a trillion US dollars is spent annually in the public and private sectors on biomedical, clinical and health services research. Unfortunately, it appears that much of this colossal sum is unnecessarily wasted. For example, only a small fraction of research findings are translated into measurable and sustainable changes in clinical practice and health policy, leading to improved healthcare and patient outcomes. The definitions and conceptions of sustainability most commonly used in implementation science will be presented, as well as theories, models and conceptual frameworks relevant to studying, planning, evaluating and/or optimizing sustainability. Tools and guides to support clinicians and managers in developing a sustainability plan for their practice transformation project will also be presented. Finally, research avenues for advancing knowledge on sustainability will be discussed.

Cette conférence présentera les résultats d’une étude de faisabilité quant au développement et à l’implantation d’un indice de mesure de la charge de travail en ligne des infirmières praticiennes, l’ICT-IP. La collecte de données s’est déroulée de janvier à juillet 2024 dans trois régions du Québec et inclut des IPSPL, des gestionnaires et des patients.

The Quebec Network on Nursing Intervention Research (RRISIQ) announces that Mr. Marc-André Maheu-Cadotte, who currently holds the position of Executive Director of the RRISIQ, will step down at the end of December 2024 to take on new professional challenges.

This activity aims to present the fundamentals of the professional co-development group, along with the steps and various concrete strategies to support its implementation.

This activity aims to present the foundations of the integrated knowledge application approach, which underpins Prof. Poitras' team’s vision for knowledge transfer.
