RESUMO - Introdução: A utilização do conhecimento gerado nas Universidades e Centros de Investigação, organizações do setor da saúde — públicas e privadas, com ou sem fins lucrativos — é um vetor crucial para o desenvolvimento do sistema de saúde. Face aos desafios de saúde pública cada vez mais complexos, a necessidade de uma transferência efetiva de conhecimento e colaboração robusta entre estes setores e organizações torna-se essencial. Esta investigação pretende contribuir para a otimização das dinâmicas de Transferência de Conhecimento das Universidades e Centros de Investigação para os diferentes atores do ecossistema de inovação em saúde, em Portugal.
Metodologia: A abordagem adotada neste estudo foi observacional, transversal e quantitativa, baseado na aplicação de questionários a profissionais com experiência em projetos de investigação ou investigação & inovação em saúde, com 68 respostas válidas. A análise estatística descritiva, permitiu caracterizar perceções, identificar os fatores promotores, barreiras e mecanismos predominantes na Transferência de Conhecimento.
Resultados e Discussão: Existe um consenso relativamente à importância da Transferência de Conhecimento para promover a inovação, colaborações frutíferas e consequentemente melhoria do Sistema de Saúde. Contudo, persistem constrangimentos relacionados com recursos financeiros e humanos limitados, cultura organizacional pouco colaborativa e impacto tangível para a sociedade que devem ser mitigadas.
Conclusão: A Transferência de Conhecimento contribui diretamente para o desenvolvimento do sistema de saúde, porém ainda enfrenta vários desafios estruturais que exigem um reforço no desenvolvimento de políticas com impacto social e inovador.
ABSTRACT - Introduction: The use of knowledge generated in Universities and Research Centres, organizations in the health sector – public and private, for-profit and non-profit – is a crucial vector for the development of the healthcare system. Effective Knowledge Transfer and solid collaboration between these sectors and organisations is essential. This research aims to contribute to optimisation the dynamics of Knowledge Transfer from Universities and Research Centres to the different actors in the health innovation ecosystem in Portugal. Methodology: The approach adopted in this study was observational, cross-sectional and quantitative, based on the application of questionnaires to professionals with experience in research or research and innovation projects in health, with 68 valid responses. Descriptive statistical analysis allowed us to characterise perceptions of Knowledge Transfer for the improvement of healthcare and to identify the factors promoting Knowledge Transfer, as well as the barriers and mechanisms predominant in Knowledge Transfer. Results and discussion: There is a consensus regarding the importance of Knowledge Transfer in promoting innovation, fruitful collaborations and, consequently, improvement of the Health System. However, constraints related to limited financial and human resources, an organisational culture that is not very collaborative and tangible impact on society remain and must be mitigated. Conclusion: Knowledge Transfer contributes directly to the development of the health system, but still faces several structural challenges that require a reinforcement in the development of policies with social and innovative impact.
