There is a Know-do gap in health policy and management. This study aimed to identify facilitators of knowledge translation in health policy and management. Methods: This was a scoping review. All published articles on the facilitators to knowledge translation in health policy and management from 1 January 2002 to 20 March 2021 in nine databases were searched. Finally, 49 documents were reviewed and analyzed using MAXQDA software. Results: Overall 59 facilitators to health policy and management knowledge translation were identified and were grouped into seven categories including factors related to the characteristics of the healthcare system, the healthcare organization, the health policy and management knowledge, the knowledge producer, the knowledge user, the knowledge transfer technology and the communication between the knowledge producer and the user. Improving communication between researchers and policymakers and managers, generating applied knowledge, increasing access to valid evidence, developing knowledge producers’ and users’ skills, increasing collaboration between researchers and policymakers and managers, and increasing research resources were the most often reported facilitators to knowledge translation in health policy and management. Conclusion: Researchers should be encouraged to produce applied knowledge and policymakers and managers should be encouraged to use research evidence in their decision-making. Appropriate policies, strategies, methods, and standards should be used to make more use of the knowledge generated in health policy and management.","PeriodicalId":235399,"journal":{"name":"Health Monitor Journal of the Iranian Institute for Health Sciences Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130050580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cancer is the third leading cause of death in Iran. The goal of this study was to identify the trends in cancer mortality by age and sex in Iran from 2011 to 2018. Methods: We analyzed cancer mortality data available in the Civil Registration Organization. A total of 278301 cancer deaths were registered in this database during 2011-2018. The rate of cancer deaths was then compared by age, sex, and time. Results: The cancer death rate (per 100,000) has increased from 38 in 2011 to 47 in 2017. The mean age of mortality by cancer, death rate, and its increase was higher among men than women. Premature death due to cancer has increased from 420 to 530 thousand person-years of life during 2011 to 2016, respectively. This increase was mainly due to an increase in adulthood cancer and old age, especially among the male gender. Conclusion: Cancer deaths have increased in Iran since cancer has increased in the country as an epidemiological transition consequence. To overcome such excess mortality preventive measures are recommended.","PeriodicalId":235399,"journal":{"name":"Health Monitor Journal of the Iranian Institute for Health Sciences Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116510877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are limited researches to prevent children from falling. Therefore, this study was performed to analyze the roots cause factors affecting the fall in children. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. First the adverse events were measured using a monthly error recording form, then the root cause analysis of the problem was performed in six steps, problem identification, team formation, preparation of initial information and final map, identification of causes and drawing tables, identification of solutions and implementation and assessment of solutions. Results: Lack of effective training of patient companions, old hospital beds, short, and long distance between bed railings, training of nurses, and controlling of the restless children were obtained as a root causes based on futuristic barrier analysis. The solutions were identified and implemented and the comparison of statistics before and after the implementation of the strategies showed that the rate of falling from the bed in the third quarter of the year has reached to zero percent. Conclusion: Educating the patient companions about the keeping of the bed railings high and not leaving the child can have a great impact on reducing falls. Also, standardizing hospital beds, providing fall prevention guidelines for nurses, training the effective communication skills, and identifying high-risk children can help to reduce falls and injuries.","PeriodicalId":235399,"journal":{"name":"Health Monitor Journal of the Iranian Institute for Health Sciences Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116658738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, people have very little information about the structures, processes and outcome of hospitals and the quality, price and efficiency of services provided. The experiences of other countries have shown that the first step to move towards transparency is the tendency and determination of the authorities. This research then aimed to measure the tendency of hospital managers to be transparent in disclosing information to public. Methods: The present study was an applied descriptive study using survey method. A questionnaire was developed by research team and used after confirming the face and content validity as well as its reliability. This questionnaire was completed by 310 senior, middle and operational managers of genral public hosptials affilated to Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS). Data analysis was performed using SPSS software. Results: The highest tendency of participants was towards information transparency related to the structural indicators and the lowest was in outcome indicators of hospitals. Management level, organizational position and level of education showed significant relationship with the tendency to transparency in its various dimensions. Conclusion: Hospital managers have a relatively strong tendency for transparency of information in the general public hospitals. Taking knowledge of the priorities and desires of managers, policymakers might be able to identify the disclosable performance indicators. Public disclosure of less sensitive indicators (i.e. structural indicators) might pave the way for the transparency practices.","PeriodicalId":235399,"journal":{"name":"Health Monitor Journal of the Iranian Institute for Health Sciences Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134329716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
