Cynnwys Cleifion a'r Cyhoedd (PPI)
Credwn fod ymchwil yn gryfach, yn fwy perthnasol, ac yn fwy effeithiol pan gaiff ei llunio gan y bobl y bwriedir iddi fod o fudd iddynt. Mae Cynnwys Cleifion a'r Cyhoedd (PPI) wedi'i ymgorffori drwy gydol ein gwaith, gan sicrhau bod profiadau, blaenoriaethau a safbwyntiau pobl sydd â phrofiad byw yn llywio pob cam o'r broses ymchwil.
Bydd ein cyfranwyr PPI yn ymwneud â:
- Nodi blaenoriaethau ymchwil.
- Dewis canlyniadau sy'n ystyrlon i gleifion a chymunedau.
- Adolygu taflenni gwybodaeth a deunyddiau recriwtio i gyfranogwyr i sicrhau eu bod yn glir ac yn hygyrch.
- Cynghori ar strategaethau recriwtio a dulliau ymgysylltu.
- Cyfrannu at lywodraethu astudiaethau trwy gyfarfodydd grŵp cynghori.
- Dehongli canfyddiadau a sicrhau bod casgliadau'n adlewyrchu profiad byw.
- Cefnogi gweithgareddau lledaenu a helpu i gyfleu canfyddiadau i gynulleidfaoedd ehangach.

So the question is, which aspects have been most enjoyable and which have been challenging for me?
The enjoyable part is that for some reason it just feels like my whole life has been leading towards this and that I've worked in the nursing system, I've been on the other end of providing care and assessment, then I've been involved in the research and then later the health issues.
Despite all the issues, despite all the difficulties and the problems, I'm actually able to use them with what I've done before and it just feels like a culmination of what my life is about.
So it, it feels really quite special, right precious to me.
But there have been some challenges and for me one of them is having to admit to myself the realities of what my disabilities, what my health problems have done to myself, worth have done to my mood and actually coming to terms with that.
But thankfully the rest of the team have been there supporting me, not just the expert panel but also Hannah and the wider research team.
So a question that gets gets asked is how can PPI experts help improve outcome measurement research?
Well, we can do this by helping researchers focus on what really matters to people.
Yes, researchers might be interested in measuring clinical or technical outcomes, but I am people like me who use adaptive devices often judge quality of life in much broader ways, you know, such as being independent or feeling confident taking part in conversations or just being able to know what's going on in the world.
So, you know, I think PPI contributors can help identify areas that researchers might sometimes overlook.
We can help make sure that research and questionnaires and that can measure the use language that people understand and relate to.
And, you know, we can highlight practical issues such as whether questions are appropriate, you know, whether an important aspect of experience is missing or whether completing a measure places some burden on participants as well.
So it's all about making measurement research more relevant and inclusive.
And as a result, you know, the research is more likely to produce findings that are meaningful to the people the research is actually for.
And one of the things, an important thing I've learned from this project is that good research is strongest when researchers and people with lived experience work together as equal partners.
You know, PPI can help ensure that, you know, measures being developed just don't work statistically, but they also reflect what matters in people's lives.
