Abstract

Objective

We describe a Patient Engagement Day from the Canadian Stroke Prevention Network (C-SPIN). Patients and family members were engaged as patient partners to generate and prioritize future direction for Atrial Fibrillation (AF) research.

Methods

A facilitated group discussion methodology was used that included a nominal group brainstorming and decision-making technique designed to foster participation and idea generation.

Results

Twenty-four patient partners attended. Priorities related to: 1) need for a curative focus and not new medication (84 %), 2) identification of triggers (53 %), and 3) home-based/remote monitoring (53 %). Use of the Public and Patient Engagement Evaluation Tool (PPEET) found patient partners understood the intent of the day, with its objectives being met. Findings highlighted knowledge gaps by patient partners that were previously thought to be understood.

Conclusion

Patient partners could benefit from more focused education about atrial fibrillation. Notably, the priorities identified by patient partners were new to the research team, reinforcing the importance of engaging with the population who will be impacted by the research.

Innovation

Little research has been undertaken examining patient partner priorities regarding atrial fibrillation research. This work highlights patient partners' interest in providing input and shaping future research endeavors.

参与患者合作伙伴确定心房颤动的研究重点:来自患者参与日的结果
目的我们描述了一个来自加拿大卒中预防网络(C-SPIN)的患者参与日。患者和家属作为患者的伙伴参与心房颤动(AF)研究的产生和优先考虑未来的方向。方法采用了一种促进小组讨论的方法,其中包括名义上的小组头脑风暴和决策技术,旨在促进参与和产生想法。结果共24例患者伴诊。优先事项涉及:1)需要治疗重点而不是新药(84%),2)确定触发因素(53%),以及3)家庭/远程监测(53%)。公众和患者参与评估工具(pepet)的使用发现,患者合作伙伴理解了当天的意图,其目标得到了实现。研究结果强调了以前认为被理解的患者伴侣的知识差距。结论对患者的伴侣进行更有针对性的房颤教育可使患者获益。值得注意的是,患者合作伙伴确定的优先事项对研究团队来说是新的,这加强了与将受研究影响的人群接触的重要性。关于房颤研究的患者伴侣优先事项的研究很少。这项工作突出了患者合作伙伴在提供投入和塑造未来研究努力方面的兴趣。
