Abstract: H ealth care practice is currently dominated by discussions about the need for evidence-based practice.Much of this discussion adopts a reified perspective of this issue, with the underlying assumption being that: 'the evidence exists, if only we knew how to access it and use it!'This perspective is evident in the drive towards the development of approaches that enable practitioners to read literature critically, make sense of published literature in their own practice and change the culture of practice within their sphere of influence.Despite growing acknowledgement within the research community that the implementation of research into practice is a complex and 'messy' task, conceptual models describing the process still tend to be uni-dimensional, suggesting some linearity and logic.
