摘要

背景解决研究与实践之间的差距对于提高生殖保健成果至关重要。在卢旺达和其他中低收入国家，加强健康研究人员的实施科学（IS）能力至关重要。为了介绍实施科学原则，我们为卢旺达的 25 名性健康和生殖健康研究人员举办了为期一天的培训。培训内容包括 IS 概念、方法和实际应用等模块。培训前和培训后的评估衡量了参与者对信息系统知识的感知变化以及在自己的工作中应用信息系统的自我效能。研究人员报告说，他们在设计和实施循证干预措施方面增强了信心。在感知知识方面，学员在 4 个月后仍能保持所学知识。结论有针对性的信息服务培训似乎提高了生殖健康研究人员将研究转化为实践的能力，从而有可能改善卢旺达的医疗保健成果。展望未来，我们主张卫生部建立基础设施服务研究议程制定机构，特别是在性与生殖健康和权利方面。理想的情况是，大学、卫生系统和研究机构将把加强基础设施服务能力纳入其日常活动。持续的培训对于巩固和扩展信息服务知识至关重要。我们的研究结果有望为未来的干预措施提供信息，并为政策制定提供指导。

Strengthening healthcare delivery in Rwanda: Implementation science training for reproductive health researchers

Background

Addressing the gap between research and practice is crucial for enhancing reproductive healthcare outcomes. In Rwanda and other low- and middle-income countries, bolstering health researchers’ implementation science (IS) capacity is essential. We present a pre-post-intervention study assessing the influence of an intensive IS training program on Rwandan reproductive health researchers’ perceived IS knowledge and self-efficacy in applying IS in their own research.

Methods

To introduce IS principles, we held a one-day training for a diverse cohort of 25 sexual and reproductive health researchers in Rwanda. The training encompassed modules on IS concepts, methodologies, and practical applications. Pre- and post-training assessments gauged changes in participants’ perceived IS knowledge and self-efficacy in applying IS in their own work.

Results

The study revealed a significant improvement in self-efficacy related to performing IS related tasks. Researchers reported heightened confidence in designing and implementing evidence-based interventions. In terms of perceived knowledge, participants retained what they learned at 4 months. The training fostered a collaborative learning environment, encouraging participants to exchange ideas and experiences.

Conclusion

Targeted training in IS appears to enhance reproductive health researchers’ capacity to translate research into practice, potentially leading to improved healthcare outcomes in Rwanda. Moving forward, we advocate for the Ministry of Health to establish structures for IS research agenda-setting, particularly for sexual and reproductive health and rights. Ideally, universities, health systems, and research institutions will incorporate IS capacity strengthening into their routine activities. Ongoing training is crucial to reinforce and expand IS knowledge. Our findings are expected to inform future interventions and guide policy development.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
