Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) in German family medicine research is growing. This overview shares diverse PPI concepts from practice-based research networks (PBRNs) to foster collaboration and improve research relevance.
Area of Science:
- Family medicine research
- Health services research
- Community-based participatory research
Context:
- Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) is increasingly important in German family medicine research.
- International frameworks guide PPI implementation, but sharing specific experiences is crucial.
- Practice-based research networks (PBRNs) in Germany are actively implementing PPI.
Purpose:
- To provide an overview of PPI concepts implemented in German PBRNs within the DESAM-ForNet initiative.
- To highlight diverse methods of patient and public engagement in family medicine research.
- To encourage the development and adaptation of PPI concepts in family medicine.
Summary:
- German PBRNs involve patients and the public through group meetings like 'public forums,' 'round tables,' and 'patient advisory boards.'
- Successful recruitment strategies include physician-patient contact, local organizations, and patient programs, focusing on research planning and dissemination.
- Most PBRNs are developing PPI evaluation methods, showcasing varied approaches to long-term patient-public partnerships.
Impact:
- Offers practical examples of PPI in family medicine research settings.
- Facilitates learning and adaptation of PPI strategies across different research networks.
- Promotes stronger, collaborative partnerships between researchers, patients, and the public in family medicine.
