15 2 The need for evidence-based practice And I know that their interventions have been tested on populations similar to the populations that we’re working with. And so, and I have found that they’re good interventions for our clients, that they’re not rigid, that they have flexibility to them. That fidelity to the model is important. But that there’s sort of bobbing and weaving with clients, which is a really important thing when you’re working with folks that have multi-stressors and not a lot of supports. That being able to be responsive to the needs
177 9 Resources for evidence-based practices Throughout this book we have looked at how to get started learning about evidence-based policing (EBP), whether you are an individual looking to educate yourself on the topic or a leader in a large organization attempting to shift cultural values, using agency size as a framework. Although we have used agency size as a framework, some large agencies (Chapter 7) might find solutions in the chapter on small agencies (Chapter 5) useful, and vice versa. That being the case, we thought a chapter dedicated entirely

271 Reconstructing evidence-based practice: an investigation of three conceptualisations of EBP Tina M. Olsson English This article uses programme theory reconstruction to investigate three conceptualisations of evidence-based practice (EBP). The first two are taken directly from the literature and contrasted with a third taken from a relevant policy programme. The article argues that ‘evidence-based practice’ is not a homogeneous concept, and that interested parties within research, practice and policy may not have a shared vision of EBP even though they

as ‘knowledge-to-action’ (KTA) theories ( Graham et al, 2006 ) – have shifted away from passive approaches towards those that emphasise interaction between knowledge producers and knowledge users ( Backer, 1991 ; Jacobson, 2007 ). Interactive KTA theories depict greater connection between researchers and knowledge users through ongoing engagement and reciprocal knowledge sharing. To understand and adopt evidence-based practices (EBPs), knowledge users require knowledge and skills related to the EBP, as well as the ability to adapt and implement the practice in

Key messages Examining one case of disability care in Sweden, both social workers’ and clients’ experiences were included in EBP infrastructures. In this study, Swedish EBP infrastructures functioned more like fluid support than a straitjacket. Organisational structures that combine different knowledge sources at service providers can minimise the risk of epistemic injustice within social care. Introduction Sackett et al (2000) defined evidence-based practices (EBP) as the integration of evidence, professional experience and clients’ values
