BACKGROUND There is interest internationally in improving the uptake of research evidence to inform health care quality and safety. This article focusses on guidance development from research studies as one method for improving research uptake. While we recognise that implementation strategies on the ´demand´ side for encouraging the uptake of research are important, e.g. knowledge brokers and university-practice collaborations, this article focusses on the ´production´ aspect of how guidance development is reported and the consequent influence this may have on end-users´ receptivity to evidence, in addition to other demand-side processes. MAIN TEXT The article considers the following question: how is guidance developed and what are the implications for reporting? We address this question by reviewing examples of guidance development reporting from applied health research studies, then describe how we produced guidance for a national study of evidence use in decision-making on adopting innovations. The starting point for reflecting on our experiences is a vignette of the guidance ´launch´ event at a national conference. CONCLUSIONS Implications for reporting guidance development and supporting improvement are discussed. These include the need to (a) produce reporting standards for the production of guidance to match reporting standards for other research methods, (b) acknowledge the ´informal´ or emergent aspects of producing guidance and its role within a wider knowledge mobilization strategy, (c) consider guidance development from projects as part of a wider knowledge mobilization strategy, and (d) encourage a receptive environment for guidance development and use, including researcher training, durable funding to support impact, and closer relations between research and practice.

将学术研究转化为支持医疗保健改进的指导：应如何报告指导发展？

背景 国际上有兴趣提高对研究证据的吸收，以告知医疗保健质量和安全。本文重点关注研究指导的发展，作为提高研究吸收的一种方法。虽然我们认识到鼓励研究吸收的“需求”方面的实施策略很重要，例如知识经纪人和大学-实践合作，但本文重点关注如何报告指南开发的“生产”方面以及由此产生的影响除了其他需求方流程外，可能会影响最终用户对证据的接受度。正文 本文考虑以下问题：指南是如何制定的，对报告有何影响？我们通过回顾来自应用健康研究的指南制定报告的例子来解决这个问题，然后描述我们如何为一项关于在采用创新的决策中使用证据的国家研究制定指南。反思我们的经验的起点是在全国会议上的指导“启动”活动的小插曲。结论 讨论了报告指南制定和支持改进的影响。其中包括需要 (a) 为制定指南制定报告标准，以匹配其他研究方法的报告标准，(b) 承认制定指南的“非正式”或新兴方面及其在更广泛的知识动员战略中的作用，
