- Abstract
Background. Knowledge translation is a current and growing force in Canada's health care environment Purpose. The intent of this paper is to examine current research related to barriers and facilitators of knowledge translation relevant to occupational therapy from the perspective of the person-environment-occupation (PEO) model. Key Issues. Minimum competency and best practice are established drivers of research use in occupational therapy. Knowledge translation is not only complementary to these established drivers but offers a valuable contribution to the profession. Current research offers insight into the facilitators and obstacles of knowledge translation in occupational therapy, and the PEO model provides a framework for this analysis. Implications. Several influences across different levels of the practice system may facilitate or hinder knowledge translation. Awareness of the current research related to these influences, in concert with an awareness of individual circumstances, is an essential precursor to developing more effective knowledge translation strategies.
