Capturing patient feedback to improve healthcare services.

The primary purpose of gathering patient feedback is to listen to, reflect on and act on the feedback to improve patients' experiences, interactions and health outcomes. Nurses use patient feedback to guide person-centred care or to inform healthcare decisions. However, when healthcare services attempt to improve the quality of care, there can be a lack of process clarity, clear measurement and evidence of improvements.

Nurse researcher identity and reflexivity in interpretive phenomenological analysis: a personal narrative.

Exploration of the perceived impact of carer involvement in mental health nurse education: Values, attitudes and making a difference.

Academic settings are seen to be an ideal, although potentially privileged, environments in which to demonstrate meaningful and authentic involvement. Despite the lack of evaluation and evidence relating to the impact of involvement being noted in the early 2000's, there continues to be a lack of evaluative research in this area (Happell et al., 2014) with the examination of the carers perspective being even more limited.
