背景资料：知识转化领域受到两个相互关联的差距的破坏，即科学发展不足和卫生服务和卫生系统决策中研究的使用有限。在过去的研究中，语境在理论发展和成功翻译知识中的重要性已经被确认。此外，尽管老龄化越来越被确定为健康和健康服务研究的优先领域，但长期护理（LTC）部门的知识转化研究却被严重忽视。目的：本研究的目的是：建立关于组织背景在影响LTC环境中以及受监管和不受监管的护理人员的知识使用方面的作用的知识翻译理论，试点知识翻译干预措施，并有助于加强使用新知识在LTC.Design：这是一个多层次和纵向的研究计划，包括两个主要的相互关联的项目和一系列的试点研究。将采用综合的混合方法设计，包括顺序和同时进行的阶段，以使项目能够相互补充和相互通报。成果：成果将包括对（知识翻译）理论发展的贡献、解决该领域主要概念问题的进展、解决该领域方法问题的进展、设计有效的知识翻译策略的进展。更重要的是，更好地了解在LTC知识使用的背景影响，将有助于改善居民和供应商在LTC设置的结果。
Background: The knowledge translation field is undermined by two interrelated gaps underdevelopment of the science and limited use of research in health services and health systems decision making. The importance of context in theory development and successful translation of knowledge has been identified in past research. Additionally, examination of knowledge translation in the long-term care (LTC) sector has been seriously neglected, despite the fact that aging is increasingly identified as a priority area in health and health services research.Aims: The aims of this study are: to build knowledge translation theory about the role of organizational context in influencing knowledge use in LTC settings and among regulated and unregulated caregivers, to pilot knowledge translation interventions, and to contribute to enhanced use of new knowledge in LTC.Design: This is a multi-level and longitudinal program of research comprising two main interrelated projects and a series of pilot studies. An integrated mixed method design will be used, including sequential and simultaneous phases to enable the projects to complement and inform one another. Inferences drawn from the quantitative and qualitative analyses will be merged to create meta-inferences.Outcomes: Outcomes will include contributions to (knowledge translation) theory development, progress toward resolution of major conceptual issues in the field, progress toward resolution of methodological problems in the field, and advances in the design of effective knowledge translation strategies. Importantly, a better understanding of the contextual influences on knowledge use in LTC will contribute to improving outcomes for residents and providers in LTC settings.
