In 2017, the continuity of midwifery care model was introduced as the way forward in Scottish maternity and neonatal services. There is no shared research strategy aligning research needs with an agenda, setting goals and revising plans. In this paper, we outline the systematic multi-actor and integrated knowledge translation process that frames and informs our initiative to develop a continuity of midwifery care research strategy, focusing on establishing a comprehensive mission, vision, and research topics. Guided by the pre-implementation process as part of the implementation science methodology, we engaged with a Scottish group of stakeholders, including service providers, academics, managers/policymakers, service users' advocates and midwifery students during targeted activities to contribute to a widely held perspective. We collected data using an online poll, subgroup brainstorming sessions, plenary group discussions, evaluation and video recording to frame and inform the research mission, vision and study topics. Data collection tools included word clouds, brainstorming sheets, observation notes, ranking, evaluation forms and recording transcripts. The outcomes of a stepwise analytic approach of mapping, synthesising, and using the data to develop a continuity of midwifery care research direction and focus will inform future funding applications, studies and projects. The pre-implementation process and actions described in this paper can serve as an example of structuring comprehensive research strategies in other settings, cultures, domains or contexts.
2017年，连续性助产护理模式被引入，作为苏格兰孕产妇和新生儿服务的发展方向。目前还没有将研究需求与议程、设定目标和修订计划相结合的共享研究策略。在本文中，我们概述了系统的多主体和综合知识转化过程，该过程为我们制定助产护理连续性研究策略的倡议提供了框架和信息，重点是确立全面的使命、愿景和研究主题。作为实施科学方法的一部分，在实施前过程的指导下，我们与一群苏格兰利益相关者进行了接触，其中包括服务提供者、学者、管理人员/政策制定者、服务使用者倡导者和助产专业学生，在有针对性的活动中贡献广泛的观点。我们通过在线投票、小组头脑风暴会议、全体小组讨论、评估和视频记录来收集数据，以确定研究使命、愿景和研究主题。数据收集工具包括词云、头脑风暴表、观察笔记、排名、评估表和记录抄本。通过逐步分析方法对数据进行映射、综合和使用，以确定助产护理连续性研究方向和重点，其结果将为未来的资金申请、研究和项目提供参考。本文所述的实施前过程和行动可作为在其他环境、文化、领域或背景下构建全面研究策略的范例。
