Engaging Patient and Caregiver Partners in Codeveloping a Patient Educational Video for Improving Clostridioides difficile Infection Education: Participatory Co-Design Study

Our study demonstrated the feasibility and utility of patient and caregiver involvement in cocreating an educational resource on the management of rCDI, with FMT being a treatment option. Despite efforts to address knowledge gaps and preferences expressed for a video format, uncertainties remain regarding the most effective educational resource format. The integration of patient, caregiver, and study team perspectives contributed to a codeveloped video that addresses unmet needs and is patient centered. However, diverse patient experiences remain underrepresented. Future research should consider including more diverse participants as well as evaluating the effectiveness of knowledge improvement through various educational resource formats and patient health care experiences and levels of satisfaction.
