Σύνοψη	The Knowledge-to-Action (KTA) Framework is a conceptual model and process guide for translating evidence into practice, developed by Ian Graham and colleagues at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute (2004–2006). The KTA framework addresses a central challenge in implementation science: research evidence alone does not change practice; a deliberate, systematic process is required to adapt evidence to local contexts, identify and overcome implementation barriers, and sustain change. The KTA distinguishes between knowledge production (research, evidence synthesis) and knowledge application (implementation planning, barrier identification, strategy selection, execution, monitoring, and adaptation). The framework has become one of the most widely adopted implementation models in healthcare, particularly in Canada and internationally, and provides a structured approach to evidence-based practice implementation that is context-sensitive and iterative.	The EBPAS-36 is a 36-item self-report questionnaire that assesses clinicians' and organizational leaders' attitudes toward adopting and implementing evidence-based practices (EBP). Developed by Aarons in 2005 and refined through multiple validation studies, it measures four core dimensions: perceived requirements to adopt EBP, the appeal and usefulness of EBP to individual practice, organizational openness to innovation, and perceived divergence between current practice and EBP requirements. The EBPAS is widely used in healthcare, mental health, child welfare, and substance abuse treatment settings to predict adoption readiness and guide implementation planning.
