Producing co‐production: Reflections on the development of a complex intervention
TLDR
There are distinct challenges and particular gaps in public involvement in alcohol research, especially when the study focus is on health matters other than alcohol dependence.
'It just wasn’t going to be heard’: A mixed methods study to compare different ways of involving people with diabetes and health‐care professionals in health intervention research
Guidelines recommend involving intervention users in the intervention development process. However, there is limited guidance on how to involve users in a meaningful and effective way.
Supporting the evaluation of public and patient engagement in health system organizations: Results from an implementation research study
TLDR
This work evaluated the appropriateness and feasibility of a generic tool across a range of health system organizations, engagement activities and patient groups, and sought to address the need for such a tool.
The value of involving patients and public in health services research and evaluation: a qualitative study
TLDR
The findings indicate that the PPP model is effective for embedding Public and Patient Involvement [PPI] within health services research, and recommends that PPI is integrated at the earliest opportunity within research projects and service evaluations through the use of support-led and facilitative programmes.
The reported impact of public involvement in biobanks: A scoping review
TLDR
How the impact of public involvement in biobanks is reported and conceptualized by study authors is investigated and how the research community might re‐conceptualize the impact is suggested.
Patient and public involvement in research design and oversight.
TLDR
Directly inviting patients and members of the public to collaborate in the research resulted in successful working relationships and tangible improvements to a study's methodology.
An evaluation of the experiences of young people in Patient and Public Involvement for palliative care research
TLDR
Young people want to be involved in palliative care research, and recognise its importance, and a continuous relationship with the researcher throughout the study, with clear demonstration of the impact that their input has on the research plans are important.
Patient and public involvement (PPI) in prisons: the involvement of people living in prison in the research process – a systematic scoping review
TLDR
A review of the literature regarding the involvement of people or persons living in prison (PLiP) in health and social care research focused on types of involvement and evaluations and findings found barriers and solutions, but it was not possible to derive firm conclusions about the effectiveness of PLiP involvement in the research process.
The role of patient and public involvement leads in facilitating feedback: “invisible work”
TLDR
PPI feedback processes can be implemented if they are part of embedded PPI with explicit expectations, facilitated by a dedicated PPI lead role with sufficient support and resources, and there was an overall increase in the frequency of feedback over the period studied.
