a 22-item questionnaire designed to measure the quality and meaningfulness of patient engagement in health research projects. It assesses key dimensions such as support, influence, communication, and value, providing researchers and patients with a standardized way to evaluate how well engagement activities are planned, supported, and experienced.
Abbreviation: PEIRS-22
Example
A research team conducting a national arthritis study administers the PEIRS-22 to its Patient Research Partners at the midpoint of the project. The results show high scores in “feeling valued” and “clear communication,” but lower scores in “capacity support,” prompting the team to introduce additional training and resources to improve the patient engagement experience.
