Study Notes
Core Principles of Mental Health Research: Public Patient Involvement (PPI)
- PPI is the involvement of people with lived experience in research
- Ethical and social justice are key reasons for PPI
- It promotes more successful research
- It leads to greater impact and more effective dissemination of research findings
- PPI helps build research capacity
- PPI can be a broad umbrella term for many forms of involvement
- Essential for securing research funding
- Basic form of PPI involves consultation with stakeholders on research questions and design, rather than direct involvement in conducting research
- Participants in PPI are often service users, sought to be representative of the relevant groups, and involved in conducting and reporting research
- This increasing involvement includes design of instruments, conducting interviews, data analysis, reporting, etc.
- Researchers often recruited due to relevant skills and personal experiences, not just experience
- Often those recruited have experience in areas that the research relates to.
- Training and support of service users in research is essential
- Collaboration is essential, researchers, clinicians and service users work together
- Key concept within PPI is co-production which means collaboration between stakeholders throughout the research process
- Research projects should be accountable and share power equally
- PPI is often susceptible to becoming watered down in current research environments
- Service user and survivor-led research needs to empower research participants
Important Messages and Pitfalls in PPI
- Involvement of people with lived experience should be essential throughout the research process, from question formulation to dissemination
- The boundaries between researchers are often blurred, with multiple roles expected, and power dynamics may be complex; support, debriefing and reflective spaces are key
- Research experiences can be distressing for participants
- The people involved in research should have impact across various groups
- Research participants should include those who have had and marginalized experiences
- A wide range of people should be involved in research
- Engagement should be genuine, rather than symbolic (tokenism)
- Adequate support and training are important
