[Research and practice. For a rapid transfer of knowledge in the field of nursing].
The need to accelerate the process of transferring knowledge from research to practice is a growing concern for researchers and clinicians in the nursing sciences. Francine Ducharme, associate professor at the nursing science faculty of the Université de Montréal and researcher at the Institut universitaire de gériatrie de Montréal, first describes the current research in the nursing sciences and its contributions to public health and to the cost-effectiveness of the health care system. She then discusses the problem of the still very slow transition of knowledge from theory to practice. Finally, she presents strategies to integrate a knowledge transfer process within the research processes and outlines a model for cooperation between clinicians and researchers as well as a number of scenarios for the future.
