This study aims to examine the criteria used to select, evaluate, and apply traditional knowledge (TK) in contemporary health contexts. The results show that TK is primarily used in the exploration phase, with little reporting on the preparation, implementation process, or sustainment. The criteria for evaluating TK commonly involve validation with other evidence sources or assessment of factors influencing knowledge translation.
BackgroundTraditional and complementary medicine (T & CM) is highly utilised and draws on traditional knowledge (TK) as evidence, raising a need to explore how TK is currently used. ObjectivesExamine criteria used to select, evaluate and apply TK in contemporary health contexts. MethodsSystematic search utilising academic databases (AMED, CINAHL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, SSCI, ProQuest Dissertations Theses Global), Trip clinical database and Google search engine. Citations and reference lists of included articles were searched. Reported use of TK in contemporary settings was mapped against a modified 'Exploration-Preparation-Implementation-Sustainment' (EPIS) implementation framework. ResultsFrom the 54 included articles, EPIS mapping found TK is primarily used in the Exploration phase of implementation (n = 54), with little reporting on Preparation (n = 16), Implementation process (n = 6) or Sustainment (n = 4) of TK implementation. Criteria used in selection, evaluation and application of TK commonly involved validation with other scientific/traditional evidence sources, or assessment of factors influencing knowledge translation. DiscussionOne of the difficulties in validation of TK (as a co-opted treatment) against other evidence sources is comparing like with like as TK often takes a holistic approach. This complicates further planning and evaluation of implementation. ConclusionThis review identifies important criteria for evaluating current and potential contemporary use of TK, identifying gaps in research and practice for finding, appraising and applying relevant TK studies for clinical care.
