Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Pragmatic dissemination and implementation (DandI) research approaches can benefit patient care because they emphasize real-world settings and populations. Nurse scientists have an opportunity to reduce the gap between science and practice by using pragmatic DandI research and sustainability strategies. PURPOSE: This article discusses pragmatic models, methods, and measures used in DandI research and their relevance for nursing research and enhancing population health. METHODS: Summary of pragmatic DandI models and related methods for designing a pragmatic studies. We discuss the RE-AIM framework and the PRECIS-2 planning aid and figure in detail. A case study is provided and application to nursing research is discussed. DISCUSSION: Successful translation of pragmatic DandI research demands an approach that addresses external validity, and customization at multiple levels including the patient, clinician, and setting. Context is critically important, and it is never too early to design for dissemination. CONCLUSIONS: Pragmatic DandI approaches are needed to speed research translation, reduce avoidable waste of funding, improve clinical care, and enhance population health. Pragmatic DandI research is an area of tremendous opportunity for the nursing science community.
