Aim:
Description of central factors for a successful implementation of research findings into practice.
Methodology:
A comprehensive literature search on "research transfer" was undertaken in the databases PSYNDEX, PsycINFO, MEDLINE, CINHAHL and EBMR for the years 1980-2009.
Results:
The transfer process is influenced by a variety of factors across four levels: Level 1) the implementation strategy, 2) the individual, 3) the organisation as well as 4) the society, respectively, the politics. The factors and levels interact with one other. A detailed description of each factor is provided.
Conclusion:
For optimal patient care, the timely transfer of research findings on the effectiveness of interventions and measures into clinical practice is of central importance. To advance this process, research and practice should be increasingly interlinked with each other. The consideration of the factors referred to in the present review increase the likelihood of a successful implementation.
