Bridging the gap between research and practice is a critical frontier for the future of social work. Integrating implementation science into social work can advance our profession's effort to bring research and practice closer together. Implementation science examines the factors, processes, and strategies that influence the uptake, use, and sustainability of empirically-supported interventions, practice innovations, and social policies in routine practice settings. The aims of this paper are to describe the key characteristics of implementation science, illustrate how implementation science matters to social work by describing several contributions this field can make to reducing racial and ethnic disparities in mental health care, and outline a training agenda to help integrate implementation science in graduate-level social work programs.
弥合研究与实践之间的差距是社会工作未来的一个关键前沿领域。将实施科学融入社会工作可以推动我们这个专业努力使研究与实践更加紧密结合。实施科学研究在常规实践环境中影响实证支持的干预措施、实践创新和社会政策的采纳、应用及可持续性的因素、过程和策略。本文的目的是描述实施科学的关键特征,通过阐述该领域在减少精神卫生保健方面的种族和族裔差异所做的几项贡献来说明实施科学对社会工作的重要性,并概述一项培训议程,以帮助将实施科学纳入研究生层次的社会工作项目。
