Implementation science in healthcare is an evolving discipline in German-speaking countries. In 2015, the Medical Faculty of the University of Heidelberg, Germany, implemented a two-year full-time Master of Science program Health Services Research and Implementation Science. The curriculum introduces implementation science in the context of a broader program that also covers health services research, healthcare systems, research methods, and generic academic skills. Our aim was to assess the expectations of different stakeholder groups regarding the master's program.
An online survey listing desired competencies of prospective graduates was developed and administered to four groups: national experts in the field (including potential employers of graduates), teaching staff, enrolled students, and prospective students (N = 169). Competencies were extracted from the curriculum's module handbook. A five-point Likert scale was used for the assessment of 42 specific items. Data were analyzed descriptively.
A total of 83 people participated in the survey (response rate 49%). The online survey showed a strong agreement across the groups concerning the desired competencies of graduates. About two-thirds of the listed competencies (27 items) were felt to be crucial or very important by 80% or more of participants, with little difference between stakeholder groups. Of the eight items specifically related to implementation in practice, six were in this category. Knowledge of implementation strategies (90% very important), knowledge of barriers and enablers of implementation (89%), and knowledge of evidence-based practice (89%) were the top priorities.
The master's program is largely orientated towards the desired competencies of graduates according to students, teaching staff, and national experts.
在德语国家，医疗保健领域的实施科学是一门不断发展的学科。2015年，德国海德堡大学医学院实施了一个为期两年的全日制理学硕士项目——卫生服务研究与实施科学。该课程在一个更广泛的项目背景下引入实施科学，该项目还涵盖卫生服务研究、医疗保健系统、研究方法和通用学术技能。我们的目的是评估不同利益相关者群体对该硕士项目的期望。
制定了一份列出未来毕业生所需能力的在线调查问卷，并分发给四个群体：该领域的国家专家（包括毕业生的潜在雇主）、教学人员、在校学生和准学生（N = 169）。能力是从课程模块手册中提取的。采用五点李克特量表对42个具体项目进行评估。对数据进行描述性分析。
共有83人参与了调查（回复率49%）。在线调查显示，各群体对毕业生所需能力的看法高度一致。约三分之二列出的能力（27项）被80%或更多的参与者认为至关重要或非常重要，利益相关者群体之间差异不大。在与实践中的实施具体相关的八项中，有六项属于这一类别。实施策略知识（90%非常重要）、实施障碍和促进因素知识（89%）以及循证实践知识（89%）是首要重点。
根据学生、教学人员和国家专家的意见，该硕士项目在很大程度上以毕业生所需能力为导向。
