This article introduces the importance and nature of the role of the nurse scientist as a knowledge broker.
A systematic literature review was completed using a modified version of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) appraisal tool to trace the emergence and characteristics of the knowledge broker role across disciplines internationally and in the United States.
Salient publications were identified using PubMed, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Sociological Abstracts, and ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, as well as hand searches and searches of the grey literature. Authors used these resources to define the knowledge broker role and with their role-related experiences developed the Thompson Knowledge Brokering Model.
A knowledge broker is one who connects science and society by building networks and facilitating opportunities among knowledge producers and knowledge users. The knowledge broker role includes three components: forming and sustaining partnerships; facilitating knowledge application; and creating new knowledge. There are five major strategies central to each role component: establish, engage, educate, empower, and evaluate.
The knowledge broker role has been increasingly recognized worldwide as key to translating science into practice and policy. The nurse scientist is ideally suited for this role and should be promoted worldwide. The Thompson Knowledge Brokering Model can be used as a guide for nurse scientists.
The role of the knowledge broker is to facilitate translation of useful research to practice and policy by connecting stakeholders through meaningful engagement.
本文介绍了护士科学家作为知识经纪人的重要性和性质。
使用经过修改的系统评价和荟萃分析（PRISMA）评估工具的系统文献综述，追踪知识经纪人角色在国际和美国各学科中的出现和特征。
使用 PubMed、护理与健康相关文献累积索引（CINAHL）、社会学摘要和 ProQuest 学位论文与论文，以及手工搜索和灰色文献搜索，确定显著出版物。作者使用这些资源来定义知识经纪人的角色，并根据他们的角色相关经验开发了汤普森知识经纪模型。
知识经纪人通过建立网络并促进知识生产者和知识使用者之间的机会，将科学与社会联系起来。知识经纪人的角色包括三个组成部分：形成和维持伙伴关系；促进知识应用；创造新知识。每个角色组件的五个主要策略：建立、参与、教育、赋权和评估。
知识经纪人的角色在全球范围内越来越被认为是将科学转化为实践和政策的关键。护士科学家非常适合这个角色，应该在全球范围内得到推广。汤普森知识经纪模型可以作为护士科学家的指南。
知识经纪人的作用是通过有意义的参与，通过连接利益相关者，促进有用研究向实践和政策的转化。
