Patient and Public Involvement in Research (Handbook with insights into practice)

This e-book is the result of a collaboration among physiotherapists, professors, and researchers from Brazilian public universities. It was developed to foster advancements in health research in Brazil by engaging patients and the public.

The primary goal of the e-book is to provide insights into patient and public involvement (PPI) in research. It covers methods for engaging patients and the public at various phases of research, as well as practical considerations, PPI training, evaluation of PPI approaches, challenges, opportunities, and ethical aspects.

The content aims to support the education of both established researchers and a new generation of Brazilian researchers. These researchers are committed to integrating the perspectives of patients and the public throughout all stages of research, from formulating research questions to disseminating findings, thereby generating meaningful knowledge that positively impacts well-being.

Patient and Public Involvement in Research: Practical Experiences from different settings

This e-book was strategically designed and organized to address the educational needs related to Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) in research, particularly for researchers in countries like Brazil, where PPI has not yet been widely incorporated into research projects and activities. It builds upon the first e-book, Patient and Public Involvement in Research, which introduced the foundational concepts of involving patients and the public in research. In this new edition, practical and successful experiences demonstrating how to implement PPI are presented, with contributions from collaborators around the world.

Readers will find examples of patient involvement across different health conditions and public engagement among various age groups in research conducted in countries such as England, Canada, Ireland, and the Netherlands. Additionally, the e-book shares initiatives from low- and middle-income countries, including Brazil, Chile, Uganda, and Indonesia.
