Implementation science is the scientific study of methods to promote the uptake of research findings and other evidence-based practices in routine care, with the goal of improving the quality and effectiveness of health services (Bauer et al., 2015). In addition to this common goal, practice-oriented psychotherapy research (and researchers) and implementation science (and scientists) share a common focus on the people and the places where treatment happens. Thus, there exists strong potential for combining these two approaches. In this article, we provide a primer on implementation science for psychotherapy researchers and highlight important areas and examples of convergence and complementarity between implementation science and practice-oriented psychotherapy research. Specifically, we (a) define and describe the core features of implementation science; (b) discuss similarities and areas of complementarity between implementation science and practice-oriented psychotherapy research; (c) discuss a case example that exemplifies the integration of implementation science and practice-oriented research; and (d) propose directions for future research and collaborations that leverage both implementation science and practice-oriented research.
实施科学是对促进研究发现和其他基于证据的实践在常规护理中应用的方法进行科学研究，其目标是提高卫生服务的质量和效果（Bauer 等人，2015 年）。除了这一共同目标外，面向实践的心理治疗研究（和研究人员）和实施科学（和科学家）都共同关注治疗发生的人和地方。因此，这两种方法具有很强的结合潜力。在本文中，我们为心理治疗研究人员提供了实施科学入门，并强调了实施科学和面向实践的心理治疗研究之间的重要趋同和互补领域和实例。具体而言，我们：(a) 定义和描述实施科学的核心特征；(b) 讨论实施科学和面向实践的心理治疗研究之间的相似之处和互补领域；(c) 讨论一个体现实施科学和面向实践研究整合的案例示例；以及 (d) 提出利用实施科学和面向实践研究的未来研究和合作方向。
