The Newcastle Institute of Public Health (NIPH) is a collaboration of health service and public health research groups in the Hunter Region of New South Wales, Australia which aims to promote the use of evidence in decision making. However, use of research evidence in decision making is a complex process, with many barriers and enablers described in the literature. Informed by strategies described in the literature around developing priority-driven research, NIPH researchers undertook to determine whether asking local health decision-makers about their needs for research information might lead to greater use of the resulting research evidence to inform health service management decisions. This paper describes a process used by NIPH to determine the research needs of 11 local senior health managers, our response to specific research questions, the communication of this research information, and the outcome.
纽卡斯尔公共卫生研究所（NIPH）是澳大利亚新南威尔士州亨特地区卫生服务和公共卫生研究团体的合作机构，旨在促进决策过程中证据的使用。然而，在决策中使用研究证据是一个复杂的过程，文献中描述了许多障碍和推动因素。基于围绕开展优先驱动型研究的文献中所述的策略，NIPH的研究人员着手确定询问当地卫生决策者对研究信息的需求是否可能导致更多地使用由此产生的研究证据来为卫生服务管理决策提供信息。本文描述了NIPH用于确定11位当地高级卫生管理人员研究需求的过程、我们对特定研究问题的回应、该研究信息的传播以及结果。
