Background/research question: The Michael G. DeGroote Cochrane Canada Center and the McMaster GRADE Center are currently developing six guidelines in the area of Post COVID-19 Condition (PCC) funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada. Similar to the eCOVID-19 living recommendation map (RecMap) (covid19.recmap.org), a PCC specific RecMap will be created, which compiles the recommendations in a searchable database. A key part of the project is knowledge mobilization to disseminate and enhance uptake of the guidelines with a focus on three target groups: health care practitioners, the public and decision makers. Our team is focusing on a thorough and sustainable knowledge mobilization toward decision makers by including the views and concerns of local policy-makers and opinion leaders into specific implementation aids (tailored information packages, seminars, checklists).
Study Question: Can tailored implementation aids for specific regional needs (based on the perspective of local policy-makers and opinion-leaders that are gathered beforehand using specific survey questionnaires) contribute to the use of PCC guidelines?
Methods:
- Online survey with policy makers & opinion leaders: prior knowledge, needs and specific challenges on site, especially on COVID-19, Post COVID-19 Condition, RecMap but also COVID-19-independent current issues
- Building on the results of the survey: Development of specific information packages with relevant recommendations for concrete application examples on site for seminars/ webinars
- Creating a checklist with information relevant to implementation
- Evaluation of the webinars, the application aids and Checklists (after 8 weeks)
Preliminary/expected results, outlook:
- Policy makers recognize that the information within the PCC guidelines is relevant to them, as it can be used to address problems they are currently facing
- Opinion leaders know about PCC and the guidelines’ recommendations and that they can demand their implementation from their political representatives if necessary
--> Increased retrieval of PCC guidelines/RecMap as the recommendations are relevant and implementable
- Derivation of recommendations for the dissemination of scientific findings into political practice
- Awareness of the policy maker perspective among scientists for further research projects
