In this study, we identify existing interactive knowledge translation tools that could help patients and health-care professionals to prevent diabetes complications in the Canadian context. We conducted an environmental scan in collaboration with researchers and 4 patient partners across Canada. We conducted searches among the research team members, their networks and Twitter, and through searches in databases and Google. To be included, interactive knowledge translation tools had to meet the following criteria: used to prevent diabetes complications; used in a real-life setting; used any instructional method or material; had relevance in the Canadian context, written in English or French; developed and/or published by experts in diabetes complications or by a recognized organization; created in 2013 or after; and accessibility online or on paper. Two reviewers independently screened each record for selection and extracted the following data: authorship, objective(s), patients' characteristics, type of diabetes complications targeted, type of knowledge users targeted and tool characteristics. We used simple descriptive statistics to summarize our results. Thirty-one of the 1,700 potentially eligible interactive knowledge translation tools were included in the scan. Tool formats included personal notebook, interactive case study, risk assessment tool, clinical pathway, decision support tool, knowledge quiz and checklist. Diabetes complications targeted by the tools included foot-related neuropathy, cardiovascular diseases, mental disorders and distress and any complications related to diabetes and kidney disease. Our results inform Canadian stakeholders interested in the prevention of diabetes complications to avoid unnecessary duplication, identify gaps in knowledge and support implementation of these tools in clinical and patients' decision-making.
在这项研究中，我们确定了现有的互动知识转化工具，这些工具可以帮助加拿大的患者和医疗保健专业人员预防糖尿病并发症。我们与加拿大各地的研究人员和 4 名患者合作伙伴合作进行了环境扫描。我们在研究小组成员、他们的网络和 Twitter 上进行了搜索，并在数据库和 Google 中进行了搜索。为了被纳入，互动知识转化工具必须符合以下标准：用于预防糖尿病并发症；在现实生活环境中使用；使用任何教学方法或材料；与加拿大背景相关，用英语或法语书写；由糖尿病并发症专家或知名组织开发和/或发布；在 2013 年或之后创建；在线或纸质访问。两名评审员独立筛选每条记录以进行选择，并提取以下数据：作者、目标、患者特征、针对的糖尿病并发症类型、针对的知识使用者类型和工具特征。我们使用简单的描述性统计来总结我们的结果。在 1700 种潜在合格的互动知识转化工具中，有 31 种被扫描收录。工具格式包括个人笔记本、互动案例研究、风险评估工具、临床路径、决策支持工具、知识测验和清单。这些工具针对的糖尿病并发症包括足部相关神经病变、心血管疾病、精神障碍和痛苦以及任何与糖尿病和肾脏疾病相关的并发症。我们的研究结果为对预防糖尿病并发症感兴趣的加拿大利益相关者提供了信息，以避免不必要的重复，确定知识差距，并支持这些工具在临床和患者决策中的实施。
