Topic 1 DQ 2
Nov 24-28, 2022
Using the GCU Library (notably the GCU Library: Nursing and Health Sciences Research Guide), find a database, journal, or other collection of resources that focuses on translational research. Select a population health problem or issue of interest from the available studies. What type of translational research is used for the study? Provide rationale as to why this is the best.

YOU TUBE VIDEO
For participation credit.
Watch the 5-minute you-tube video regarding Translational research. Do you agree with the interviewee Dr. Nabil Dib that the biggest gap in translational research in the United States is completion of Phase I and Phase II trials to get the concept to the bedside? He mentioned a slow regulatory pathway and curious to hear your thoughts.

I think that Dr. Dib is correct. We struggle to get our concepts tested quickly and then get that evidence to the bedside. I think that there are several other problems in the system that contribute to this problem. Douglas, et al. (2022) point out that there is a lack of innovation in the pharmaceutical industry, leading to difficulties with finding new treatments. Douglas et al. focused on rare diseases, in which the struggle is even greater, as such a small portion of the population is affected. This leads to a lack of funding and profit, which further decreased interest and innovation (Douglas, et al., 2022). This video is from 2011, but the problem still remains in 2022, which I think highlights the rigidity of the process. Dr. Dib presses the need for the proper infrastructure to support the research teams along the path of creating to implementing innovative treatments (2011). Innovation based solely on profits is not working in this country. There are so many different steps to this highly regulated process. Dr. Dibs mention of working with the FDA is a crucial step in creating a smoother process with his organization (2011).

I did not fully understand Dr. Nabil Dib in the YouTube video you suggested but I found the above YouTube video easy to understand regarding translational science. This gentleman, Ahsan Choudary explained it as an interprofessional interaction between many team members such as scientists, physicians, therapists, and more to speed discoveries in the clinic. Assess which ones are the most effective, including cost effective and then make the best medical practice guidelines for our plan of care.

The video was not supposed to focus on translational research but what contributing factors there may be in why there is such a delay in implementing certain treatment and pharmacotherapeutics in the U.S. For example, lack of infrastructure, slow regulatory bodies, and cost are other contributing factors to the most significant gap in translational research in the United States. As a result, medical schools and affiliated hospitals should recognize and promote translational and clinical research and grant a high priority to institutional findings. In turn, regulatory knowledge and support are needed to accelerate the development and implementation of new devices, medications, standards, and approaches to population wellness.
I will take a look at the video you mention as that may be a good introduction to translational research to watch. Thanks!

Evidence based practice is shown to produce best patient outcome. Evidence based practice is accomplished through research. Translational research is the process of disseminating the information obtained from research into clinical practice. According to Dr. Nabil Dib the biggest barrier to translational research is the slow progress of new information dissemination which causes an increase in cost of healthcare and research. This slow progress can also be attributed to lack of knowledge in toxicology and regulatory process by medical staff (DeMaria & Dib, 2011). This idea is also emphasized by Curtis et. al. (2017), who expressed similar barriers. Therefore, healthcare workers need to be adaptive and willing to learn new processes.

Reeves et al. (2017) reviewed the results of a community-based research trial to assess the efficacy of an established nutrition service designed address increased weight and obesity in children in seven communities in Australia. The Good for Kids, Good for Life (Good for Kids) program operated in seven communities found in the Hunter region in Australia.
The original study was carried out between 2006 and 2010 by what was at the time the largest public health community outreach program to address childhood obesity. Multiple sectors participated and supported the program from governmental, non-governmental, public, and private, and seven separate communities were researched. The translational research portion of the study occurred in 2017 and was done by a special transitional health research department called Framework to Assess the Impact from

Translational health research (FAIT). FAIT was created with the hope of facilitating the successful implementation of the results found in translational studies. (Reves et al., 20217)
