Abstract Today, most of the results and knowledge obtained from national and international research do not actually change the health status of people, which has led to a gap or distance between knowledge and practice. This research was a descriptive survey and examined the status of the knowledge translation process among the researchers of Bushehr University of Medical Sciences, Iran, from 2011 to 2015. The study population consisted of the researchers of the Bushehr University of Medical Sciences, who were chosen using a completely randomized design. 83 researchers were finally selected by the inclusion criteria of presenting or collaborating on at least five approved areas of research during the 2011–2015 period. Data collection was undertaken using the Assessment Questionnaire of Academic Researchers Knowledge Translation Activities, with its psychometric test also used. The results showed that the researchers’ performance was rated in the fields of transfer of the research question, knowledge production, knowledge transfer and promoting the use of evidence with 64, 75, 63 and 67 % of the total score (mean± SD) of 19.40 ± 3.89, 26.30 ± 3.97, 37.79 ± 6.89 and 13.39 ± 3.41 respectively. Based on the results of this study, the performance of the researchers in the process of knowledge translation was at a desired level while, in the fields of the research tool, the researchers had the best research performance in knowledge production and promoting the use of evidence, transfer of research question and knowledge transfer (all at the desirable level). However, the gap between knowledge and practice of the researchers in the fields of transfer of the research question and knowledge transfer was noticeable. Therefore, in order to strengthen all aspects of the research activities of the knowledge translation process, the provision of proper premises and structure will be a priority for the university’s research and technology departments.

学术研究人员之间的知识翻译过程：以布什尔医科大学为例

摘要如今，从国家和国际研究中获得的大多数结果和知识实际上并没有改变人们的健康状况，这导致了知识与实践之间的差距或距离。这项研究是一项描述性调查，调查了2011年至2015年伊朗布什尔医科大学的研究人员在知识翻译过程中的状况。研究人群包括布什尔医科大学的研究人员，他们均入选。使用完全随机的设计。最终，根据2011-2015年期间至少五个获批准的研究领域中提出或开展合作的纳入标准，最终选择了83名研究人员。使用学术研究人员知识翻译活动评估问卷进行数据收集，还使用了心理测验。结果表明，研究人员的表现在研究问题的转移，知识生产，知识转移和促进证据使用等领域得到了评价，占总分的64％，75％，63％和67％（平均值±标准差）。分别为19.40±3.89、26.30±3.97、37.79±6.89和13.39±3.41。根据这项研究的结果，研究人员在知识翻译过程中的表现处于理想水平，而在研究工具领域，研究人员在知识生产和促进证据使用方面的研究表现最佳。 ，研究问题的转移和知识的转移（均处于理想水平）。然而，在研究问题转移和知识转移领域，研究人员的知识与实践之间的差距十分明显。因此，为了加强知识转化过程的研究活动的各个方面，为大学的研究和技术部门提供适当的前提和结构将是其优先事项。
