Understanding Public and Patient Involvement (PPI) in Research
Public and Patient Involvement (PPI) in research emphasizes active participation of the public and patients in various research activities such as defining research questions, steering research projects, and engaging with research outcomes. It differentiates involvement, participation, and engagement, stressing the importance of precise language use for true understanding. PPI involves a diverse range of participants and stakeholders, highlighting the need for inclusive and person-centered approaches.

What is PPI? PPI is research being carried out with or by members of the public rather than to , about or for them (1). Who Those whom the research will impact or affect. What Engagement X Participation X Involvement
Defining research question Research conception, design & implementati on Working with funders to review applications PPI is . public and patients as active partners Disseminati ng research outcomes Proofing documents, leaflets & articles Data Research project steering group analysis & identifying key findings Interviewing research participants
Participants in research project/clinical trial PPI is not public and patients as data providers Providing opinions in focus groups/seminars/ conferences etc. Donating sample materials for research Answering questionnaires
Language Public and Patients (2-4) Patients Consumers Service users Customers People People living with Lay people Public Members of the general public Citizens Experts by experience Lay stakeholders Advocates PPI contributors Patient organisations Support groups Charities for people with Family members Carers Caregivers Research Partners No one-fits-all solution, start by asking what language the person would prefer
Terminology - Involvement Involvement: where people are actively involved in designing and conducting research projects and research organisations Participation: where people take part in a research study as a research participant Engagement: where information and knowledge about research is shared with the public i.e., providing and disseminating research knowledge to people *Different acronyms and different terms are used interchangeably - what need to do is ensure PPI activities equate to true understanding of involvement, not participation or engagement - use language precisely as it varies internationally
Why is PPI in research important? Democratic principles Improve research quality (5-9) Research and funding body support (7) National and international policy
Benefits (10) Benefits Patient Partners Emotional - living with purpose, sense of achievement through meaningful contributions, expressing emotions in safe environment Research System Practical - co-generation of data Psychological - sense of self, self-confidence, mental health, inspiration and motivation Healthcare System Involvement as opportunity to improve services Cognitive - learning opportunities, positive space for enriching discussions; appropriate training Social - building and sustaining relationships, enhanced self-confidence, sense of belonging, ability to contribute to research
