To identify candidate quality indicators from existing tools that provide guidance on how to practice knowledge translation and implemenation science (KT practice tools) across KT domains (dissemination, implementation, sustainability, and scalability).
We conducted a scoping review using the Joanna Briggs Institute Manual for Evidence Synthesis. We systematically searched multiple electronic databases and the gray literature. Documents were independently screened, selected, and extracted by pairs of reviewers. Data about the included articles, KT practice tools, and candidate quality indicators were analyzed, categorized, and summarized descriptively.
Of 43,060 titles and abstracts that were screened from electronic databases and gray literature, 850 potentially relevant full-text articles were identified, and 253 articles were included in the scoping review. Of these, we identified 232 unique KT practice tools from which 27 unique candidate quality indicators were generated. The identified candidate quality indicators were categorized according to the development (n = 17), evaluation (n = 5) and adaptation (n = 3) of the tools, and engagement of knowledge users (n = 2). No tools were identified that appraised the quality of KT practice tools.
The development of a quality appraisal instrument of KT practice tools is needed. The results will be further refined and finalized in order to develop a quality appraisal instrument for KT practice tools.
从现有的知识转化和实施科学（KT 实践工具）工具中确定候选质量指标，这些工具为 KT 领域（传播、实施、可持续性和可扩展性）的实践提供指导。
我们使用乔安娜·布里格斯研究所证据综合手册进行了范围审查。我们系统地搜索了多个电子数据库和灰色文献。文档由一对审查员独立筛选、选择和提取。对包含的文章、KT 实践工具和候选质量指标的数据进行了分析、分类和描述性总结。
从电子数据库和灰色文献中筛选出的 43,060 个标题和摘要中，有 850 篇潜在相关的全文文章被确定，有 253 篇文章被纳入范围审查。其中，我们从 232 种独特的 KT 实践工具中确定了 27 种独特的候选质量指标。确定的候选质量指标根据工具的开发（n=17）、评估（n=5）和适应（n=3）以及知识用户的参与（n=2）进行分类。没有发现评估 KT 实践工具质量的工具。
需要开发一种 KT 实践工具的质量评估工具。将进一步完善和最终确定这些结果，以便开发一种 KT 实践工具的质量评估工具。
