Knowledge brokering is a type of knowledge translation that bridge the researchers and end users. Knowledge brokering assist the interactions between all agents to understand each other's perspectives and goals to improve health system performance. The failure to deliver how important the research implementation in society may cause significant outcome. A person or organization who perform knowledge brokering is called knowledge broker (KB). Literature review is conducted for the clinical question of how knowledge brokering impact the health sector and the visible challenges. A literature search is performed by systematic search using three major online databases; Cochrane, PubMed, and EBSCO. Hand-searching also yielded one result that fit the objective of this study. The database result search was being screened from the title and abstract which resulted in 14 relevant articles. After reading the full-text articles, four literatures were ruled-in. The study assessed knowledge brokering process using various methods like single framework or model as well as the combination. The challenges include the lack of communication between internal team and end users, leadership skill, engaging end users, knowledge transfer activity, different timeline, and diverse vision. Evaluating and applying knowledge brokering strategies were needed as the practice itself bringing positive outcomes. Knowledge brokering approaches consist of many methods which tailored to the study objective. Challenges that stand out were communication and personal skill, engaging end users, and perspectives difference. The impact of knowledge brokering is challenging to assess. Further studies that evaluate the impacts of knowledge brokering are still needed.
知识中介是一种知识转化形式，它在研究者和终端用户之间架起桥梁。知识中介有助于所有参与者之间的互动，使各方理解彼此的观点和目标，以提高卫生系统的绩效。未能传达研究在社会中的重要性可能会导致重大后果。从事知识中介的个人或组织被称为知识中介者（KB）。针对知识中介如何影响卫生部门以及明显的挑战这一临床问题进行了文献综述。通过使用三个主要在线数据库（考克兰、PubMed和EBSCO）进行系统检索来开展文献搜索。手工检索也得到了一项符合本研究目标的结果。从标题和摘要对数据库检索结果进行筛选，得到14篇相关文章。阅读全文后，纳入了四篇文献。该研究使用了各种方法，如单一框架或模型以及两者结合的方式来评估知识中介过程。挑战包括内部团队与终端用户之间缺乏沟通、领导技能、吸引终端用户、知识转移活动、不同的时间线以及多样的愿景。由于知识中介实践本身能带来积极成果，因此需要评估和应用知识中介策略。知识中介方法包含许多根据研究目标量身定制的方法。突出的挑战是沟通和个人技能、吸引终端用户以及观点差异。评估知识中介的影响具有挑战性。仍需要进一步开展研究来评估知识中介的影响。
