Development and evaluation of a virtual patient-centered outcomes research training program for the cystic fibrosis community

Plain English Summary Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a rare, genetic disease; meaning people are born with the disease and have it throughout their lives. CF is a multi-system disease, primarily affecting the respiratory system. Daily care for people with CF (PwCF) includes taking many medications and brea...

CF is a multi-system disease, primarily affecting the respiratory system. Daily care for people with CF (PwCF) includes taking many medications and breathing treatments. Many PwCF have experienced participating in research as research subjects, but not as partners on research teams participating as experts with the lived experience. Including patient and caregiver partners on research teams is important to improve quality of research. By working alongside each other, patient and/or caregiver partners and researchers build trust. Together, they pursue research questions deemed most important to patients and through this inclusive process, study findings are more rapidly adapted by patients and their communities. We found in a prior survey that 85% of patients, caregivers, healthcare providers and researchers in the CF community wanted training on how to include patient partners onto research teams. Our researcher and patient-partner team co-developed a four-part virtual pilot online training program focused on how to integrate patients/caregivers into research teams. This study aims to show changes in participants’ perceived knowledge, confidence in engaging stakeholders and satisfaction after participating in our training program. Participants included patients, caregivers, researchers and health care providers. We found that our training program improved knowledge about patient-engaged principles for all participants. This training program stands ready to serve as a model for further development to help increase capacity around patient and stakeholder engagement on research teams in the CF community.Emily M.
