Patient and public involvement in healthcare: a systematic mapping review of systematic reviews - identification of current research and possible directions for future research.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To provide an overview of patient and public involvement (PPI) in the mesolevel and macrolevel of healthcare (different from PPI in research) and identify directions for future research by mapping contexts, terminology, conceptual frameworks, measured outcomes and research gaps.

Design

Mapping review of systematic reviews. A patient coresearcher (JB) was involved in all stages. A broad search strategy was applied to capture the variation in terminology.

Data sources

MEDLINE, CINAHL and PsycINFO were searched from 1 January 2001 to 5 December 2022.

Eligibility criteria

We included systematic reviews of empirical studies focusing on PPI in the mesolevel and macrolevel of healthcare.

Data extraction and synthesis

Three independent reviewers used
