Abstract
![CDATA[Evidence-based practice is pivotal to quality healthcare. Yet, clinicians do not consistently draw on the knowledge available to them. This may be partly due to the myopic ways in which knowledge translation has been understood and explored. As such, this conceptual paper presents a case for the role of positive emotion in the translation of knowledge to practice, and suggests that this link warrants further exploration. This thesis is justified and achieved by: (1) discussing the inherent challenges of knowledge translation; and (2) presenting the theories of two distinct domains – namely, the broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions and the organisational knowledge creation theory. This paper argues for development of a framework explicating the role of positive emotion in knowledge translation.]]
