简介：实现知识转化的理论和框架有很多，这些分类可能会让那些负责知识转化规划、评估或决策的人感到困惑。格雷厄姆及其同事开发的概念框架提供了一种方法，该方法建立在对计划行动理论进行评估时发现的共性之上。本文介绍了这种知识的应用，以行动框架，以指导倡议，在学术医学。导师的影响，职业生涯的成功，但在学术界受到威胁，增加临床，研究和行政demands.Methods：一个案例研究审查进行了导师的作用，导师和学员的经验，并在发展和留住临床科学家在加拿大阿尔伯塔的两所大学的导师计划。该项目涉及相关利益相关者，包括研究人员，大学管理人员和研究funders.Results：知识的行动框架被用来制定一个战略，指导临床研究人员。该框架强调了在知识实施过程中识别和吸引利益相关者的必要性。一系列的举措，选择和定制的障碍和促进者实施的导师倡议，战略评估的知识使用及其对outcomes.Discussion的影响：知识的行动框架可以用来开发一个导师倡议临床研究人员。计划今后开展工作，评估这一干预措施对征聘和留用的影响。
Introduction: There are many theories and frameworks for achieving knowledge translation, and the assortment can be confusing to those responsible for planning, evaluation, or policymaking in knowledge translation. A conceptual framework developed by Graham and colleagues provides an approach that builds on the commonalities found in an assessment of planned-action theories. This article describes the application of this knowledge to action framework to a mentorship initiative in academic medicine. Mentorship influences career success but is threatened in academia by increased clinical, research, and administrative demands.Methods: A case study review was undertaken of the role of mentors, the experiences of mentors and mentees, and mentorship initiatives in developing and retaining clinician scientists at two universities in Alberta, Canada. This project involved relevant stakeholders including researchers, university administrators, and research funders.Results: The knowledge to action framework was used to develop a strategy for mentorship for clinician researchers. The framework highlights the need to identify and engage stakeholders in the process of knowledge implementation. A series of initiatives were selected and tailored to barriers and facilitators to implementation of the mentorship initiative; strategies for evaluating the knowledge use and its impact on outcomes were developed.Discussion: The knowledge to action framework can be used to develop a mentorship initiative for clinician researchers. Future work to evaluate the impact of this intervention on recruitment and retention is planned.
