Primary Health Care Research and Information Service
Abstract
An implementation agenda is best supported by a widespread culture of knowledge exchange (KE).
A KE culture:
- Views research as a resource rather than a product
- Values real world knowledge as well as research knowledge
- Understands co-construction of knowledge
- Acknowledges complexity and politics of the cross-system landscape
- Generates essential face-to-face and network opportunities
- Fosters trust and collaborations beyond academic circles.
KE requires a different mindset and skill set beyond research competencies.
KE is not a specific learning objective frequently offered by higher degree institutions.
This study aimed to examine KE strategies in primary health care research
