BACKGROUND To examine how the knowledge transfer processes unfolded within SCIROCCO, a EU funded project (3rd Health Programme (2014-2020)) that aimed to facilitate the process of knowledge sharing across five European regions, to speed up adoption and scaling-up of integrated care initiatives. METHODS A qualitative multi-method design was used. Data collection methods included focus groups, project documents and action plans of the regions. The data was analysed using a qualitative content-analysis procedure, which was guided by the frameworks of knowledge exchange and the why, whose, what, how framework for knowledge mobilisers. RESULTS All five components (including the themes) of knowledge exchange could be identified in the approach developed on the knowledge transfer processes. The four questions and accompanying categories of the framework of knowledge mobilisation were also identified to a large degree. CONCLUSIONS The observed incorporation of distinct forms of knowledge from multiple sources and the observed dynamic and fluid knowledge transfer processes both suggest that SCIROCCO developed a comprehensive knowledge transfer approach aiming to enable the adoption and scaling-up of integrated care. Overall, the multi-method qualitative nature of this research has allowed some new and practical insights in the knowledge transfer activities on integrated care between several European regions. To obtain a clear understanding of the content of the knowledge transfer approaches, which could assist the operationalising of models to support the evaluation of knowledge transfer activities, it is strongly recommended that further research of this type should be conducted in other research settings.

欧洲五个地区之间综合护理知识的转移：一项定性多方法研究。

背景 研究 SCIROCCO 中的知识转移过程是如何展开的，这是一个欧盟资助的项目（第三次卫生计划（2014-2020 年）），旨在促进五个欧洲地区的知识共享过程，加快采用和扩大综合护理举措。方法 采用定性多方法设计。数据收集方法包括焦点小组、项目文件和各地区的行动计划。使用定性内容分析程序对数据进行分析，该程序以知识交换框架和知识动员者的原因、谁、什么、如何框架为指导。结果 知识交流的所有五个组成部分（包括主题）都可以在知识转移过程开发的方法中得到确定。知识动员框架的四个问题和相应类别也在很大程度上得到了确定。结论 观察到的来自多个来源的不同形式的知识的整合以及观察到的动态和流动的知识转移过程都表明 SCIROCCO 开发了一种全面的知识转移方法，旨在实现综合护理的采用和扩大。总体而言，这项研究的多方法定性性质为欧洲几个地区之间的综合护理知识转移活动提供了一些新的实用见解。为了清楚地了解知识转移方法的内容，这有助于模型的可操作性以支持知识转移活动的评估，强烈建议在其他研究环境中进行此类进一步的研究。
