Optimizing a Knowledge Translation Intervention: A Qualitative Formative Study to Capture Knowledge Translation Needs in Nursing Homes, 2018

Knowledge Translation (KT) has emerged as an important consideration to reduce knowledge-to-practice gaps in healthcare settings. Research on KT approaches in nursing homes is lacking and there is a need to understand the challenges and potential in this setting and how these can be managed. This study is part of the larger IMPAKT (IMPlementation and Action for Knowledge Translation) study which is addressing KT in nursing homes. The aim of this study was to identify crucial staff and organizational needs for KT to be successful in nursing homes, in order to inform the development of the KT intervention

知识转化（Knowledge Translation, KT）现已成为缩小医疗场景中知识向实践转化鸿沟的关键考量因素。当前针对养老院场景下知识转化策略的研究仍较为匮乏，亟需厘清该场景下面临的挑战与发展潜力，并探索相应的管理路径。本研究隶属于更大规模的IMPAKT（知识转化实施与行动）研究项目，该项目聚焦养老院场景下的知识转化工作。本研究旨在明确养老院中成功实施知识转化所需的核心人员与组织层面需求，为知识转化干预方案的开发提供依据。
