Involving the public in literature reviews and qualitative research
Involving patients and the public improves healthcare services and research, and brings together patients’ and researchers’ priorities. Some funders, ethics committees and journals require Public and Patient Involvement (PPI) as part of research projects.
Increasingly, researchers actively involve patients and public (PPI) at different stages of research projects.
This workshop will discuss the practicalities of how to involve public advisors in healthcare research, sharing the experience from two research projects.
Firstly, a scoping and systematic review where public advisors have been involved in the review design, co-authored published protocol, and contributed at each review stage (screening, data extraction, analysis, and quality appraisal).
Secondly, an example of where public advisors have been involved in the qualitative study since its design. They are ethics co-applicants, support participants recruitment, and co-analyse interviews using Braun and Clarke’s (2006) thematic analysis.
The event will be useful for researchers at any stage and/or members of the public who are interested in public involvement and community engagement in health and social care research.
Programme highlights:
- Practical tips on involving public advisors in research.
- Guidance on reaching seldom-heard communities (especially migrant and ethnic minorities) as research participants.
- Insights from public advisors.
