Table 3 Categories used to classify the identified TMFs
Category | Description and examples |
|---|---|
Process models | Describe steps or stages to translate evidence into action and offer practical guidance for KMb planning and execution (for example, the “Knowledge-to-Action framework” by Graham et al. [9]) |
Evaluation frameworks | Describe elements or components that could be evaluated to determine KMb implementation success (for example, “RE-AIM” by Glasgow et al. [47]) |
Determinant frameworks | Specify determinants that can act as barriers and enablers to understand or explain what influences KMb implementation and outcomes (for example, “PARISH” by Kitson et al. [48]) |
Classic theories | Theories that originate from other fields (for example, psychology sociology) and can be applied to understanding KMb processes (for example, social cognitive theories) |
Logic models | Graphical representation of the links between inputs, activities, outputs and expected outcomes of a specific KMb strategy (for example, “CNODES knowledge translation logic model” by Sketris et al. [49]) |
