Patient and public involvement (PPI) roles in implementation research differ from clinical research. Tailoring PPI to research type ensures authentic involvement and informs guidance for effective practice.
Area of Science:
- Health Services Research
- Implementation Science
- Community Engagement in Research
Background:
- Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) is crucial for research funding.
- Distinctions exist between clinical research (patient-focused) and implementation research (health professional behavior-focused).
- The specific role of PPI in implementation research remains uncertain.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore and define the roles of PPI within implementation research.
- To inform the development of good practice guidance for PPI in this field.
Main Methods:
- A structured consensus process involving nine PPI experts and two researchers.
- Literature review to identify 21 potential PPI research roles.
- Independent online ratings and face-to-face meetings to achieve consensus on PPI roles in both clinical and implementation research.
Main Results:
- Consensus and strong support for most PPI roles in clinical research.
- Varied consensus levels for PPI roles in implementation research (8 roles with strong support, 7 with weaker support, 6 with no consensus).
- Greater disagreement regarding PPI roles in implementation research compared to clinical research; PPI perceived as less integral to design and management.
Conclusions:
- PPI roles must be tailored to the specific research context (clinical vs. implementation) for authentic engagement.
- A framework is proposed to guide PPI in implementation research planning, conduct, and reporting.
- Further research is recommended to evaluate the utility of the proposed PPI framework.
