Stakeholders' Experiences and Perspectives of Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) in Maternal and Neonatal Clinical Trials: A Qualitative Evidence Synthesis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

While there is a growing emphasis on Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) within maternal and neonatal research, there is a lack of evidence on how PPI is currently implemented. The aim of this qualitative evidence synthesis was to gain insight into stakeholders' experiences and perspectives of PPI in maternal and neonatal trials.

Methods

CINAHL, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Maternity and Infant Care (OVID) were searched from inception dates to September 2023, supplemented by a search of Google Scholar. Eligibility screening and quality appraisal of each included record were independently undertaken by two reviewers. Data extracted from the included records were thematically synthesised using Thomas and Harden's approach.
