Background: Decisions related to the development and implementation of public health programmes or policies can benefit from more effective use of the best available knowledge. However, decision makers do not always feel sufficiently equipped or may lack the capacity to use evidence. This can lead them to overlook or set aside research results that could be relevant to their practice area.Aims and objectives: The objective of this systematic review was to synthesise the essential skills that facilitate the use of research evidence by public health decision makers.Methods: Thirty-nine articles that met our inclusion criteria were included. An inductive approach was used to extract data on evidence-informed decision-making-related skills and data were synthesised as a narrative review.Findings: The analysis revealed three categories of skills that are essential for evidence-informed decision-making process: interpersonal, cognitive, and leadership and influencing skills. Such cross-sectoral skills are essential for identifying, obtaining, synthesising, and integrating sound research results into the decision-making process.Discussion and conclusions: The results of this systematic review will help direct capacity-building efforts towards enhancing research evidence use by public health decision makers, such as developing different types of training that would be relevant to their needs. Also, when considering the evidence-informed decision-making skills development, there are several useful and complementary approaches to link research most effectively to action. On one hand, it is important not only to support decision makers at the individual level through skills development, but also to provide them with a day-to-day environment that is conducive to evidence use.

在公共卫生政策中使用研究证据的基本技能：系统评价

背景：与公共卫生计划或政策的制定和实施相关的决策可以从更有效地利用现有的最佳知识中受益。然而，决策者并不总是觉得自己有足够的能力，或者可能缺乏使用证据的能力。这可能导致他们忽视或搁置可能与其实践领域相关的研究结果。目的和目标：本系统评价的目的是综合促进公共卫生决策者使用研究证据的基本技能。方法: 纳入了符合我们纳入标准的 39 篇文章。使用归纳方法提取有关循证决策相关技能的数据，并将数据综合为叙述性评论。结果：分析揭示了三类对循证决策过程至关重要的技能：人际交往、认知以及领导和影响技能。这种跨部门技能对于识别、获取、综合和将合理的研究结果整合到决策过程中至关重要。讨论和结论：本系统评价的结果将有助于指导能力建设工作，以加强公众对研究证据的使用健康决策者，例如开发与其需求相关的不同类型的培训。此外，在考虑循证决策技能发展时，有几种有用且互补的方法可以最有效地将研究与行动联系起来。一方面，
