Despite advancements in occupational therapy research, the widespread research-to-practice gap continues to delay how quickly evidence-based practices are implemented in real-world clinical settings. Implementing research in practice is a complex process that mandates attention from all occupational therapy stakeholders; however, researchers are uniquely positioned to help minimize the 17-yr lag between scientific discovery and the implementation of research findings into practice. Our article serves as a response to Marr's (2017) Centennial Topics article, which proposed that purposeful efforts are needed to advocate for implementation research in occupational therapy. We provide an implementation science research agenda informed by concepts from the implementation science literature and suggest how researchers can structure methodologies to examine implementation-related outcomes and strategies. We provide explanations of gold-standard implementation outcomes and offer several recommendations for how researchers can report and disseminate implementation research findings to occupational therapy stakeholders.
尽管职业治疗研究取得了进展，但广泛存在的研究与实践之间的差距仍在继续延缓基于证据的实践在现实临床环境中的实施速度。将研究成果应用于实践是一个复杂的过程，需要所有职业治疗利益相关者的关注；然而，研究人员处于独特的地位，能够帮助尽量缩小科学发现与将研究结果应用于实践之间长达17年的差距。我们的文章是对马尔（2017年）百年主题文章的回应，该文章提出需要做出有目的的努力，以倡导职业治疗中的实施研究。我们提供了一个基于实施科学文献概念的实施科学研究议程，并建议研究人员如何构建方法来检验与实施相关的结果和策略。我们解释了金标准实施结果，并就研究人员如何向职业治疗利益相关者报告和传播实施研究结果提出了若干建议。
