Résumé fourni par la source

INTRODUCTION: Healthcare organizations must have the ability to adapt to rapid environmental changes and respond to evidence-based needs. One of the key prerequisites for the effective implementation of these changes is organizational readiness for knowledge translation (KT). The aim of this study is to identify the dimensions and components of organizational readiness for implementing KT in medical universities in Iran. METHODS: This research was conducted using a scoping review approach based on the Arksey and O'Malley framework. A comprehensive search was performed without a time limitation in international databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Persian databases MagIran and SID. Out of 4540 identified documents, 14 articles were included after screening and final assessment. RESULTS: After extracting the dimensions and components from the reviewed studies, five dimensions and 14 components were identified, as follows: Organizational Climate (culture of readiness and innovation, intra- and inter-organizational interactions, organizational dynamics), Organizational Support (development and training opportunities, financial resources, capacity building and organizational performance improvement), Change Management (strategies and change implementation capacity, leadership support), Organizational Context (knowledge management in the organization, organizational structure and technological advancement, social capital), and Human Resources (self-efficacy and motivation, leadership, collaboration and participation). CONCLUSION: This scoping review identified five key dimensions-Organizational Climate, Organizational Support, Change Management, Organizational Context, and Human Resources-comprising 14 components that constitute organizational readiness for KT. To enhance readiness, health system managers and policymakers must understand the importance of utilizing research evidence and, through skill development and fostering participation, create the necessary environment for implementing knowledge.
