摘要

Embedded research, where academic researchers are integrated into practice-based organisations, offers a promising approach to bridging the research-to-practice gap and driving better outcomes in the health, social care, and education sectors. However, little is known about the implementation factors that influence its success. This scoping review explores what barriers, enablers, and outcomes are associated with embedded research. A search of primary research literature published between 2019 and December 2024 was performed, and 18 studies were included. Implementation determinants were mapped to the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR 2.0), and outcomes were analysed inductively. Most barriers and enablers were associated with the Inner Setting domain of CFIR 2.0, particularly those related to relational connections, communication, and organisational structure. Tailored implementation strategies and stakeholder engagement further supported successful embedded research. Outcomes included enhanced evidence-based practice, improved research capacity, elevated knowledge production, and strengthened collaborative relationships. The review demonstrates that implementation of embedded research is influenced by a range of contextual and relational factors. These findings provide a theoretical foundation to inform future implementation efforts and support effective translation of research into practice.
