The search yielded ten publications. Translation of new evidence was
limited predominantly by individual-related issues and less frequently
organisational factors. Inadequate knowledge and skills of individuals
to conduct, organise, utilise, and appraise research literature, and
lack of resources were the primary individual and organisational
challenges. This review also discloses mistrust by policymakers about
the potential of research to translate into practice, affecting both the
development of health policies and also systematic public investments
for research programs. A sizable proportion of mistrust by the
policymakers stems from their lack of knowledge for understanding
research methods and limited skills in comparing research outcomes. To
circumvent this barrier, it is critical for identification and
partnering with policymakers and health professionals at all level of
the research stages.
