Experience-based co-design, a patient and provider partnership, enhances healthcare services and research. This method improves health outcomes, particularly for those with cardiovascular multimorbidity.
Area of Science:
- Health Services Research
- Nursing Research
- Participatory Research Design
Background:
- Experience-based co-design (EBCD) is gaining traction for improving healthcare.
- Traditionally used for quality improvement, EBCD involves patients and providers co-designing services.
- It offers a valuable framework for participatory research.
Purpose of the Study:
- To discuss the application of EBCD in research with individuals experiencing cardiovascular multimorbidity.
- To explore the practicalities, usability, and impact of EBCD in this population.
- To examine EBCD's influence on cardiovascular and chronic disease research and care models.
Main Methods:
- The paper discusses the application of the EBCD approach.
- Focuses on research involving people living with cardiovascular multimorbidity.
- Explores practicalities, usability, and impact.
Main Results:
- EBCD is a valuable participatory research design.
- It can improve health outcomes in nursing research.
- Applicable to cardiovascular and chronic disease research and care models.
Conclusions:
- EBCD is a significant participatory method for healthcare research.
- Its application in cardiovascular multimorbidity research shows promise for improving care models.
- Further exploration of EBCD's impact is warranted.

Assessment of the Cardiovascular System I: Subjective Data
Initial Enquiry
Ask the patient about their primary concern and thoroughly explore all reported symptoms.
Medical History
Investigate past illnesses affecting the cardiovascular system, such as angina, anemia, rheumatic fever, congenital heart disease, stroke, thrombophlebitis, dysrhythmias, varicosities
Inquire about symptoms...
Crossover Experiments
Crossover designs are performed even with smaller sample sizes since the samples can act as their controls. These are better than simple randomized trials since patients are exposed to all the treatments.
Longitudinal Studies
Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
