To address a gap between spinal cord injury (SCI) research and practice by rigorously and systematically co-developing integrated knowledge translation (IKT) guiding principles for conducting and disseminating SCI research in partnership with research users.
The process was guided by the internationally accepted The Appraisal of Guidelines for REsearch & Evaluation (AGREE) II Instrument for evaluating the development of clinical practice guidelines.
North American SCI research system (ie, SCI researchers, research users, funders).
The multidisciplinary expert panel (n=17) and end users (n=35) included individuals from a North American partnership of SCI researchers, research users, and funders who have expertise in research partnerships.
Not applicable.
Clarity, usefulness, and appropriateness of the principles.
Data regarding 125 principles of partnered research were systematically collected from 4 sources (review of reviews, scoping review, interviews, Delphi consensus exercise). A multidisciplinary expert panel held a 2-day meeting to establish consensus, select guiding principles, and draft the guidance. The panel reached 100% consensus on the principles and guidance document. The final document includes a preamble, 8 guiding principles, and a glossary. Survey data showed that the principles and guidance document were perceived by potential end users as clear, useful, and appropriate.
The IKT Guiding Principles represent the first rigorously co-developed, consensus-based guidance to support meaningful SCI research partnerships. The principles are a foundational tool with the potential to improve the relevance and impact of SCI research, mitigate tokenism, and advance the science of IKT.
通过与研究用户合作，严格系统地共同制定用于开展和传播脊髓损伤（SCI）研究的综合知识转化（IKT）指导原则，解决 SCI 研究与实践之间的差距。
该过程遵循国际公认的评估指南研究与评价（AGREE）II 工具，用于评估临床实践指南的制定。
北美 SCI 研究系统（即 SCI 研究人员、研究用户、资助者）。
多学科专家小组（n=17）和最终用户（n=35）包括来自北美 SCI 研究人员、研究用户和资助者合作关系的个人，他们在研究合作方面拥有专业知识。
不适用。
原则的清晰度、有用性和适当性。
从 4 个来源（综述回顾、范围综述、访谈、德尔菲共识练习）系统地收集了 125 条合作研究原则的数据。一个多学科专家小组举行了为期两天的会议，以达成共识、选择指导原则并起草指导意见。该小组对原则和指导文件达成了 100%的共识。最终文件包括前言、8 项指导原则和词汇表。调查数据表明，潜在的最终用户认为原则和指导文件清晰、有用且适用。
IKT 指导原则代表了第一个经过严格共同制定、基于共识的指导，旨在支持有意义的 SCI 研究合作。这些原则是一个基础工具，有可能提高 SCI 研究的相关性和影响力，减轻象征性做法，并推进 IKT 科学。
