PHC research has broad effects on patients, practices, services, population health, community, and policy formulation. The in-depth exploration of the definition and measures of research impact within PHC is essential for broadening our understanding of research impact in the discipline and how it compares to other health services research.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The objectives of the study are (1) to understand the conceptualizations and measures of research impact within the realm of PHC and (2) to identify methodological frameworks for evaluation and research impact and the benefits and challenges of using these approaches. The forthcoming review seeks to guide future research endeavors and enhance methodologies used in assessing research impact within PHC.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The protocol outlines the rapid review and environmental scan approach that will be used to explore research impact in PHC and will be guided by established frameworks such as the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences Impact Framework and the Canadian Health Services and Policy Research Alliance. The rapid review follows scoping review guidelines (PRISMA-ScR; Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Extension for Scoping Reviews). The environmental scan will be done by consulting with professional organizations, academic institutions, information science, and PHC experts. The search strategy will involve multiple databases, citation and forward citation searching, and manual searches of gray literature databases, think tank websites, and relevant catalogs. We will include gray and scientific literature focusing explicitly on research impact in PHC from high-income countries using the World Bank classification. Publications published in English from 1978 will be considered. The collected papers will undergo a 2-stage independent review process based on predetermined inclusion criteria. The research team will extract data from selected studies based on the research questions and the CRISP (Consensus Reporting Items for Studies in Primary Care) protocol statement. The team will discuss the extracted data, enabling the identification and categorization of key themes regarding research impact conceptualization and measurement in PHC. The narrative synthesis will evolve iteratively based on the identified literature.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The results of this study are expected at the end of 2024.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The forthcoming review will explore the conceptualization and measurement of research impact in PHC. The synthesis will offer crucial insights that will guide subsequent research, emphasizing the need for a standardized approach that incorporates diverse perspectives to comprehensively gauge the true impact of PHC research. Furthermore, trends and gaps in current methodologies will set the stage for future studies aimed at enhancing our understanding and measurement of research impact in PHC.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>International Registered Report Identifier (IRRID)<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PRR1-10.2196\/55860<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2196\/55860","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,23]],"date-time":"2024-04-23T12:31:13Z","timestamp":1713875473000},"page":"e55860","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Conceptualization and Measurement of Research Impact in Primary Health Care: Protocol for a Rapid Scoping Review"],"prefix":"10.2196","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8455-0058","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Monica","family":"Aggarwal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0932-9729","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Brian G","family":"Hutchison","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1277-472X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kristina M","family":"Kokorelias","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5845-8634","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vivian R","family":"Ramsden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2500-2435","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Noah M","family":"Ivers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1841-9347","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrew","family":"Pinto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1128-0557","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ross E G","family":"Uphsur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9619-9012","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sabrina T","family":"Wong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6778-2567","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nick","family":"Pimlott","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-7205-2078","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Steve","family":"Slade","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1010","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","unstructured":"AggarwalMHutchisonBGToward a primary care strategy for CanadaCanadian Foundation for Healthcare Improvement20122024-03-25https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/yspbwyxj"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1468-0009.12674"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1377\/hlthaff.2020.01566"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/hec.3312"},{"key":"ref5","unstructured":"van LerbergheWPrimary health care\u2014now more than everWorld Health Organization20082024-03-25https:\/\/www.who.int\/director-general\/speeches\/detail\/primary-health-care---now-more-than-ever"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.17226\/12458","author":"Nass, SJ","year":"2009","journal-title":"Beyond the HIPAA Privacy Rule: Enhancing Privacy, Improving Health Through Research"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0029-6554(97)90054-3"},{"key":"ref8","unstructured":"Primary health care: report of the international conference on primary health sare, Alma-Ata, USSR, 6-12 September, 1978World Health Organization19782024-03-25https:\/\/www.who.int\/publications\/i\/item\/9241800011"},{"key":"ref9","first-page":"3","author":"Miller, WL","year":"1992","journal-title":"Doing Qualitative Research"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12916-016-0620-8"},{"key":"ref11","unstructured":"Making an impact: a preferred framework and indicators to measure returns on investment in health research.
