“…In social work, increasing pressure towards evidence-based practice and the development of interventions on sound evidence is crucial to the sustainability of the field in today's neoliberal environments (Gray & Schubert, 2012;Driessens et al, 2011). Considerable resources are devoted to mental health research and production of new knowledge.…”

“…But one of the primary challenges of implementing social interventions is to determine the most effective intervention strategies within a given context and to promote the application of research. In order for knowledge to be disseminated outside the narrowly circumscribed scientific community, it needs to be 'socially robust' to capture the nature of wider communities (Driessens, Saurama, & Fargion, 2011). For service users, care providers and policy-makers, local data are important.…”

There is increasing evidence to suggest that the application of knowledge in lowand middle-income countries (LMIC) is failing, that a gap exists between what is known from research and what is done to apply it. Despite widespread agreement that the application of evidence is needed, there are few published studies of how to effectively translate knowledge of social interventions, particularly those aimed at improving outcomes for mental health populations. To address this gap we assessed knowledge translation of social interventions for adults with mental health problems across economic boundaries using a systematic review of peer-reviewed literature. This review aimed to identify the extent of translational research available and to explore the effectiveness of different strategies and interventions. Studies were included if they translated knowledge between richer and poorer countries and reported a social component (as opposed to purely health) which aimed to improve social outcomes for adults with mental health problems. Our findings provide evidence for the successful translation of locally adapted social interventions to LMIC, though the specific knowledge translation mechanisms varied greatly. With only 23 studies meeting inclusion criteria for this review, further investigation is needed to ascertain the conditions surrounding knowledge translation of social interventions globally.

“…1 These developments call for increased understanding of the range of activities within practice research as well as theory that can inform and practice that can inform theory. At the same time, we need to include ongoing analysis of changing welfare structures and economics in order to effectively promote practice research within the context of scarce resources (Austin, Dal Santo, and Lee 2012;Driessens, Saurama, and Fargion 2011;Epstein 2010Epstein , 2011Fisher 2013;Julkunen 2011;Marthinsen and Julkunen 2011;Saurama and Julkunen 2011;Shaw 2012;Shaw andLunt 2011, 2012;Uggerhøj 2011aUggerhøj , 2011b.…”

“…Deze kennis komt zowel de fundamentele kennisontwikkeling als de ondersteuning van de praktijk ten goede. Dit vraagt ook van onderzoekers een specifieke houding en competenties, een bereidheid tot verregaande samenwerking en invoegen in het werkveld (Driessens, Saurama & Fargion, 2011;Steyaert et al, 2011). De praktijkgerichtheid van de sociaalwerkdiscipline vereist dat kennis niet op zichzelf gezien wordt.…”

Verschillende auteurs stellen vast dat het sociaalwerkonderzoek zich niet makkelijk laat definiëren. Sommigen drukken de eigenheid van sociaalwerkonderzoek graag uit in termen van eclecticisme, holisme en diversiteit. Dit is niet zonder gevaar. De specifieke eigenheid van het sociaalwerkonderzoek dreigt hierdoor immers verloren te gaan.
