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.
