目标：1990年，魁北克社会研究理事会--加拿大魁北克的一个社会研究资助机构--推出了一项新政策，鼓励在卫生保健组织内发展社会研究单位。通过财政奖励，它鼓励研究人员和从业人员之间开展长期合作，目的是转变科学知识生产和专业做法。方法：对1998年资助的21个合作研究团队的所有研究人员(n=146，应答率78.1%)和实践者(n=204，应答率44.1%)进行问卷调查。结果：与预期相反，研究者和从业者在协作研究的各个维度上有着非常相似的看法。他们都认为，参与协作研究小组有助于发展新的技能和做法，但无助于他们参与外部活动，也无助于他们参与影响公共政策和做法部署环境的网络和组织。他们在将他们高度重视的维度付诸实践时也都遇到了一些困难。结论：卫生保健组织内的协作研究成功地促进了新的知识生产和干预模式的实施。然而，需要特别注意制定战略，以减少价值观和做法之间的差异。
OBJECTIVES: In 1990, the Quebec Social Research Council - a body financing social research in Quebec, Canada - launched a new policy encouraging the development of social research units within health care organizations. Through financial incentives, it encouraged the implementation of long-term collaborations between researchers and practitioners with the purpose of transforming both scientific knowledge production and professional practices. This paper examines the perceptions of researchers and practitioners regarding the attributes and the usefulness of this collaborative research policy.METHODS: A self-administered survey was sent to all the researchers (n = 146; response rate 78.1%) and practitioners (n = 204; response rate 44.1%) involved in the 21 collaborative research teams funded in 1998. T-tests were performed in order to assess the difference between the perceptions of researchers and practitioners in five key dimensions of collaborative research.RESULTS: The results showed that, contrary to expectations, researchers and practitioners shared fairly similar views regarding the various dimensions of collaborative research. They both agreed that their involvement within collaborative research teams had contributed to the development of new skills and practices but had not facilitated their participation in external activities nor their involvement in networks and organizations that influence environments in which public policies and practices are deployed. They also both encountered some difficulties in putting the dimensions that they highly valued into practice.CONCLUSIONS: Collaborative research within health care organizations succeeded in fostering the implementation of new modes of knowledge production and intervention. Nevertheless, special attention needs to be given to the development of strategies to reduce the discrepancies between values and practices.
