Involving patients, public and users in health education is currently receiving increased attention. The degree of involvement has changed over time, as have the methods used to involve these groups in nursing education. The purpose of this scoping review was to identify and map available didactic and pedagogical methods for patient, public and user involvement in academic nursing education. Of the initial 9294 articles identified, 21 were included. The PRISMA guideline for scoping reviews was used in the screening process. Data from the included studies were extracted and three thematic categories were identified: 1) Experts by experience, 2) Digital tools and 3) Curriculum planning and development. We identified 16 methods for patient, public and user involvement in nursing education. The findings provide an overview of these methods, which nursing educators may use.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
