April 2025 issue of JBI Evidence Implementation out now
Theory informed, pragmatically focused
The April 2025 issue of JBI Evidence Implementation is now available, delivering timely and thought-provoking content for health professionals, policymakers, and researchers dedicated to advancing evidence-based practice.
This issue opens with editorial by Prof Peter Bragge, who reflects on the growing threats posed by misinformation, disinformation, and knowledge resistance, challenges that have intensified amid major shifts in the global political landscape. In the editorial, Science is permanent, politics is temporary: in an era of knowledge resistance, misinformation, and disinformation, researchers must continue to stand and deliver,
Prof Bragge urges researchers to take three practical actions in response: continue producing credible knowledge, make research more accessible, and use evidence-based communication strategies to engage diverse audiences. His commentary underscores the enduring importance of scientific integrity in a time when facts are increasingly contested.
Alongside this call to action, the issue features a rich selection of original research and case studies that highlight the complexity of translating evidence into practice. Topics include an innovation to enhance research translation and impact in health and rehabilitation; barriers and facilitators for the implementation of co-created nursing innovations, and implementing change with people from diverse and marginalized groups in aged care
Collectively, the papers in this issue reflect a commitment to using not only effectiveness data, but also evidence on feasibility, appropriateness, and meaningfulness to guide implementation (FAME), an approach increasingly embraced across health systems.
As implementation science continues to evolve, this issue offers both practical insights and critical reflection.
