背景:学术研究中用于知识翻译(KT)的常规方法和策略通常不足以有效地接触利益相关者,比如公民,从业者,和决策者,尤其是复杂的医疗问题。作为回应,越来越多的学者一直在接受基于艺术的知识翻译(ABKT),以瞄准具有不同背景和期望的更多样化的受众。尽管兴趣增加,利用率,在过去的三十年中,以艺术为基础的知识翻译文学,没有研究直接比较传统知识翻译和基于艺术的知识翻译方法。因此,我们的研究旨在评估和比较基于艺术的知识翻译干预-马戏团表演-与两种传统知识翻译干预(网络研讨会和研究报告)在意识方面的影响,可访问性,订婚,宣传/政策影响,和享受。
方法:为了进行这种探索性的收敛混合方法研究,我们将162名参与者随机分配到三项干预措施中的一项.所有三种知识翻译方法都用于翻译同一研究项目:“农村紧急360:动员决策者,医疗保健专业人员,病人,和公民改善魁北克农村急诊室的医疗保健和服务(UR360)。\"
结果:研究结果表明,马戏团表演在可访问性和娱乐性方面优于网络研讨会和研究报告,在提高认识方面同样有效,增加参与度,并影响宣传/政策。每种干预策略都展示了其独特的优势和劣势,马戏团表演迎合了不同的观众,而网络研讨会和研究报告的目标是更知情的参与者。这些结果强调了基于艺术的知识翻译的创新和包容性属性,展示其促进研究人员在不同背景下与更广泛的利益相关者接触的能力。
结论:作为相关的第一步和补充资产,基于艺术的知识翻译在提高人们对关键健康问题的认识和动员方面具有巨大的潜力。
BACKGROUND: The conventional methods and strategies used for knowledge translation (KT) in academic research often fall short in effectively reaching stakeholders, such as citizens, practitioners, and decision makers, especially concerning complex healthcare issues. In response, a growing number of scholars have been embracing arts-based knowledge translation (ABKT) to target a more diverse audience with varying backgrounds and expectations. Despite the increased interest, utilization, and literature on arts-based knowledge translation over the past three decades, no studies have directly compared traditional knowledge translation with arts-based knowledge translation methods. Thus, our study aimed to evaluate and compare the impact of an arts-based knowledge translation intervention-a circus show-with two traditional knowledge translation interventions (webinar and research report) in terms of awareness, accessibility, engagement, advocacy/policy influence, and enjoyment.
METHODS: To conduct this exploratory convergent mixed method study, we randomly assigned 162 participants to one of the three interventions. All three knowledge translation methods were used to translate the same research project: \"Rural Emergency 360: Mobilization of decision-makers, healthcare professionals, patients, and citizens to improve healthcare and services in Quebec\'s rural emergency departments (UR360).\"
RESULTS: The findings revealed that the circus show outperformed the webinar and research report in terms of accessibility and enjoyment, while being equally effective in raising awareness, increasing engagement, and influencing advocacy/policy. Each intervention strategy demonstrates its unique array of strengths and weaknesses, with the circus show catering to a diverse audience, while the webinar and research report target more informed participants. These outcomes underscore the innovative and inclusive attributes of Arts-Based Knowledge translation, showcasing its capacity to facilitate researchers\' engagement with a wider array of stakeholders across diverse contexts.
CONCLUSIONS: As a relevant first step and a complementary asset, arts-based knowledge translation holds immense potential in increasing awareness and mobilization around crucial health issues.
