Patient and public involvement (PPI) in health professional education (HPE) is inconsistent. Normalisation Process Theory (NPT) provides a framework for educators to systematically embed PPI sustainably, enhancing its integration and impact in diverse educational settings.
Area of Science:
- Health Professions Education
- Social Sciences in Health
Background:
- Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) integration in Health Professions Education (HPE) is variable across institutions.
- Some settings have normalized PPI, while others are in early stages of implementation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce Normalisation Process Theory (NPT) as a framework to understand and enhance sustainable PPI embedding in HPE.
- To provide educators with tools for reflecting on and improving PPI practices.
Main Methods:
- Utilizing Normalisation Process Theory (NPT) to analyze PPI implementation.
- Exploring NPT's core mechanisms: coherence, cognitive participation, collective action, and reflexive monitoring.
Main Results:
- NPT offers a structured approach for educators to assess and strategize PPI integration.
- The framework facilitates the identification of areas for improvement in PPI practices within HPE.
Conclusions:
- Normalisation Process Theory (NPT) can guide the sustainable embedding of PPI in Health Professions Education (HPE).
- Applying NPT's mechanisms equips educators to enhance PPI integration and impact in their specific environments.
