Developing a Culture of Evidence-Based Practice
One effective dissemination strategy I would be inclined to use is unit-level presentations. This is because they provide an opportunity to engage with a specific audience directly. Conducting presentations within the organizational unit ensures a targeted approach. It allows for a more focused discussion on evidence-based practice (EBP) and its implementation (Liaw et al., 2022). This strategy facilitates face-to-face interaction, enabling me to address questions and concerns in real-time. It also betters the understanding of the importance of EBP among my colleagues. Another strategy I would consider is publication in peer-reviewed journals. This method adds to the broader scientific community and it also establishes integrity and recognition for the EBP initiatives (Evans et al., 2023). Journal publications have the potential for wider reach, influencing practitioners, researchers, and policymakers beyond the local or organizational level.
Conversely, I would be less inclined to use poster presentations as a primary dissemination strategy. While posters can be visually appealing, they might not provide the depth needed to show the complexities of EBP effectively (Roberts-Grice, 2022). They are often limited in scope and may not capture the attention of the audience as much as a dynamic presentation or a comprehensive journal article would.
Barriers to unit-level presentations may include time constraints and resistance to change among colleagues (Khoddam et al., 2023). To overcome these barriers, I would emphasize the relevance of EBP to current practice challenges. I would demonstrate its potential to improve patient outcomes and streamline workflows. Additionally, offering flexible scheduling options for presentations and incorporating interactive elements could enhance engagement (Khoddam et al., 2023). For journal publications, a potential barrier may be the rigorous peer-review process. This can lead to possible delays in dissemination. To address this, I would plan to allow sufficient time for manuscript preparation and submission. Collaborating with experienced researchers or seeking mentorship in academic writing could also enhance the likelihood of successful publication.

Question 
As your EBP skills grow, you may be called upon to share your expertise with others. While EBP practice is often conducted with unique outcomes in mind, EBP practitioners who share their results can both add to the general body of knowledge and serve as an advocates for the application of EBP.
Developing a Culture of Evidence-Based Practice
In this Discussion, you will explore strategies for disseminating EBP within your organization, community, or industry.
