Mar 11, 2021 · Given the resources invested, the cost of measuring the wrong outcome, or the right outcome in the wrong way, is often higher than for nonintervention research. A number of solutions to these challenges exist, including the use of large sample size and of tightly controlled experimental settings as well as careful dosage manipulations within ...

Patients and carers gain experiential knowledge through their direct experience of living with, or caring for someone with a health condition and/or using health and social care services . This is knowledge that people without that particular experience will lack, including researchers . Researchers acquire text-book knowledge of the condition they...
Typically, the public report gaining the following from involvement [9,10,11,12]: 1. knowledge about how research works 2. knowledge about the latest and best evidence relating to treatment and care 3. confidence and new skills (e.g. communication skills, presentation skills, influencing and persuading skills) 4. new ways of coping and managing the...
Typically, learning from others’ experiential knowledge helps researchers to [3, 4, 14]: 1. develop new ideas for research 2. choose between alternative directions for research 3. identify otherwise unanticipated problems, as well as solutions to overcome them 4. confirm the right decisions have been made, thus instilling confidence in those decisi...
Researchers’ learning has two key characteristics. Firstly, it is subjective, and secondly it is unpredictable, as illustrated by the following example: In summary, an immediate outcome of the conversation with the RUG was that the researchers learnt about how work life is affected by carpal tunnel syndrome. The medium-term outcome was that they ch...
With current conceptualisations of involvement, standardising practice seems to be important to some researchers to ensure involvement is consistent and effective. Researchers also want to compare approaches and often ask ‘What method should I use for involvement?’ When the public are perceived as the intervention, much attention is given to gettin...
A high-quality research method is controlled so that the researcher decides where the research will take place, at what time, with which participants and in what circumstances. It usually follows standard procedures, which are systematic (follow a fixed plan), replicable, verifiable and often empirical (measured and quantified). We conclude that fe...
Conceptualising the public as the intervention can lead to a desire to standardise their contributions to ensure quality, in the same way that the quality of data is assured through appropriate sampling. Researchers can assume that a representative group must be involved that somehow reflects broad demographics such as gender, age, ethnicity and so...
Much of the current guidance and policy for involvement in research places great emphasis on the public - recruiting, training and supporting them . Much less attention is given to preparing researchers, in terms of the soft-skills they may need for involvement. However, when involvement is understood as a conversation that supports two-way learnin...
Current conceptualisations of ‘the public as the intervention’ suggest that the question that needs to be answered through evaluation is along the lines of ‘Do the public make a difference?’ When involvement is understood as two-way learning, this question no longer makes sense. The key question is then ‘Does the interaction between researchers and...
Many reports of involvement conclude that the evidence published to date is insufficient and ‘anecdotal’ . This is consistent with the norms of testing and developing clinical interventions. However, ‘evidence’ has a particular meaning in the culture of EBM, which is diametrically opposed to experiential knowledge as described in Table 1. In the fi...

May 18, 2020 · PCORI defines patient-engaged research as, “The meaningful involvement of patients, caregivers, clinicians, and other healthcare stakeholders throughout the entire research process—from planning the study, to conducting the study, and disseminating study results” . In the spring of 2017, the research team conducted an extensive literature ...

Sep 18, 2017 · Plain English summary The impacts of involvement in research are often described in terms of the difference made to the research, the people involved and less frequently the researchers. This paper focuses on the researchers’ experiences of involvement, based on an evaluation of a pilot project supporting patient/carer involvement in research at Parkinson’s UK. Telephone interviews were ...

Jun 15, 2023 · Background Recent studies mention a need to investigate partnership roles and dynamics within patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE) in health research, and how impact and outcomes are achieved. Many labels exist to describe involvement processes, but it is unknown whether the label has implications on partnerships and outcomes. This rapid review investigates how roles between ...

Intervention research is often time- and resource-intensive, with numerous participants involved over extended periods of time. To maximize the value of intervention studies, multiple outcome measures are often included, either to ensure a diverse set of outcomes is being assessed or to refine assessments of specific outcomes. Here, we advocate ...
