Exploring the outcomes of research engagement using the observation method in an online setting.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The objective of this study was to explore the outcomes of research engagement (patient engagement, PE) in the context of qualitative research.

Design

We observed engagement in two groups comprised of patients, clinicians and researchers tasked with conducting a qualitative preference exploration project in inflammatory bowel disease. One group was led by a patient research partner (PLG, partner led group) and the other by an academic researcher (RLG, researcher led group). A semistructured guide and a set of critical outcomes of research engagement were used as a framework to ground our analysis.

Setting

The study was conducted online.

Participants

Patient research partners (n=5), researchers (n=5) and clinicians (n=4) participated in this study.
