Integration of patient and public involvement in a doctoral research study using the research cycle.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patient and public involvement (PPI) in research is widely acknowledged as essential to achieving successful and impactful research. Despite this acknowledgement, there are limited reports on how to approach and apply meaningful PPI throughout the research cycle and how to address challenges for researchers such as doctoral students, particularly when undertaking research on sensitive topics. This paper provides insights and examples for researchers new to PPI, on the impact of active PPI and recommendations for building and developing a PPI group in a paediatric focused doctoral research study with bereaved parents and carers.

Methods

PPI was informed by the research cycle. The GRIPP2 short-form checklist was used to report PPI. The research was funded by the Nat
