Health researchers' experience collaborating with patient partners: a qualitative study
The findings of this study provide an in-depth view of the challenges experienced by health researchers who have involved PPs in their projects. However, it is important to highlight that this study goes beyond simply identifying challenges. These challenges are often interconnected and complex and influence one another in such a way that controlling for one element may cause further constraints in another. This article provides recommendations regarding current practices, ethics-related questioning, and time-related challenges, which will be useful for the continued meaningful involvement of PPs in research teams and for navigating the challenges.
