Background
Waiting is an important topic in healthcare debates, mostly discussed in the form of waiting lists and waiting times. In this discourse, the experiential element of waiting stays hidden. Understanding the waiting experiences of patients can help to better understand healthcare waiting practices, which have a large impact on patients.
Methods
We performed a thematic analysis on 12 patients' books of women with breast cancer. We focused on the theme of waiting within these stories, through an abductive analysis.
Results
We identified three themes within the waiting practices of patients with breast cancer: (1) Thickening of time, (2) contaminated time and (3) navigating time. The theme thickening of time highlights waiting moments where time is experienced as moving at a very slow pace with intense emotional impact. The theme of contaminated time highlights the waiting processes as an ongoing component of experiencing illness. The theme of navigating time highlights patients' temporal agency, showing their waiting work in the form of strategies for dealing with practical and emotional aspects of waiting.
Discussion
The waiting experiences of patients provide insights into the burden of waiting, which is partly connected to the way healthcare services are organised and the experience of illness. Understanding these multifaceted experiences of patients helps pinpoint areas for healthcare quality improvement.
Patient or Public Contribution
The choice for the theme and approach of this research, waiting, was developed with a citizen science initiative of collecting patient stories.

Shared decision-making is recommended as a person-centred approach to decision-making in antenatal care. Little is known about the implementation of shared decision-making in antenatal care.
Objective
An exploratory study to understand how shared decision-making is implemented in antenatal clinics and whether body mass index influences maternity clinicians’ use of shared decision-making when providing antenatal care for women.
Methods
Twenty-six antenatal clinic consultations were audio-recorded with maternity clinicians and women with body mass index ≥ 35 kg/m2, and a comparison group of women with body mass index 18.5–24.9 kg/m2. Data were analysed quantitatively using the OPTION12 scale. Narrative case studies are presented to compare shared decision-making behaviour related to induction of labour.
Results
Twelve clinicians and 26 pregnant women were recruited to the study. The total scores ranged from 0 to 24, with a mean score of 9 and a median of 9.5 indicating low implementation of shared decision-making by clinicians and limited involvement of women in decision-making. No difference was observed in OPTION12 scores in decision-making for women by body mass index.
Conclusion
This study suggests that shared decision-making is limited in the antenatal clinic setting for all women, regardless of body mass index. Further research is required to confirm the findings of this exploratory study.
Patient or Public Contribution
The perspectives of women with body mass index ≥ 35 kg/m2 informed many aspects of this study including the language/terminology adopted by researchers. A consumer group reviewed the language used in the study materials, to ensure readability and avoidance of stigmatising terminology.

Background
Applied research using co-creation methods is rarely described or evaluated in detail. Practical evidence of co-creation processes and collaboration effectiveness is needed to better understand its complex and dynamic nature.
Methods
Using a case study design and survey method, we assessed processes of co-implementation and co-evaluation grounded in our own experiences from the Co-Creating Safe Spaces project. We examine these in the context of a published systematic framework designed to improve clarity about co-creation processes and report on how co-creation was experienced by collaborative partners.
Results
Our study showed the interconnectedness between co-implementation and co-evaluation processes and the importance of aligning research with program processes to ensure it is responsive to emergent local needs and problems. Given relatively low levels of researcher embeddedness across sites, service champions played a pivotal role in data collection. Survey findings indicated strong support for a healthy collaboration with some concerns expressed over individual partner's areas of responsibility and ability to deliver on commitments.
Conclusion
Co-creation can be a very robust approach to translational research but is a complex endeavour. Ongoing reflexivity and attention to relational aspects support genuine collaboration and provide a foundation for addressing challenges.
Patient or Public Contribution
People with lived experience of emotional distress and/or suicidal crisis, including researchers from both academic and non-research backgrounds, service managers, peer workers, carers and advocates, were involved in this research and authored this paper.

Background
Integrated youth services are an emerging delivery model in Canada that addresses siloed and fragmented youth mental health and other services. Youth engagement is viable for developing integrated youth services when purposefully built. However, it is not always clear how youth are involved in service transformation as decision-makers, and it requires an exploration of how to work with youth authentically and intentionally in the codesign process.
Methods
This study reflects on the development of HOMEBASE, a network of integrated youth service delivery in Saskatchewan, Canada, and documents the process of actively and authentically engaging with youth through distributive leadership in the codesign process.
Findings
Youth are actively and eagerly willing to participate in the codesign process of developing integrated services when there is a shared responsibility, and they are authentically involved and informed within the decision-making process. This requires time to form trust, build relationships and provide youth with low-pressure environments to foster healthy debates.
Conclusion
By utilizing a distributive leadership approach, the Youth Codesign Team has been engaged in various levels of decision-making. By following these guiding principles, policymakers, youth development workers and researchers can engage youth in meaningful ways to improve the design and development of integrated care.
Patient or Public Contribution
Five youths from the HOMEBASE Provincial Youth Co-Design Team collaborated in writing this article based on their experiences of being engaged at varying levels of decision-making in a distributive leadership approach to building integrated youth services.

背景：冠状病毒病2019（COVID-19）感染后症状持续存在的长Covid严重影响了患者的生活质量。通过参与式方法让患者参与到研究和护理中来，可以增强对疾病的共同理解，提高研究的相关性：我们将患者专家（PEs）定义为在南卡罗来纳大学患者参与工作室（PES USC）完成一系列关于团队建设、研究方法和沟通培训课程的人（包括患者、护理人员和医疗服务提供者）。本研究探讨了如何利用摄影oice 记录南卡罗来纳大学患者参与工作室内的长科维德 PE 的经历和能力建设历程：本研究在以 COVID-19 为重点的虚拟患者参与工作室（CoVIP Studio）中使用了摄影舆论。患者在两个不同的时间点提交照片和叙述。在参与项目的 18 名 PE 中，培训期间收集了 47 张照片，项目结束时收集了 31 张照片。我们进行了主题分析，以捕捉患者观点和参与度的变化：最初确定的主题是 "社区带来的希望"、"合作教育与研究 "和 "力量与耐力"。到项目结束时，主题已发展为 "团队合作，分享和获取知识"、"增强对未来护理的信心 "和 "坚持不懈，不断进步"。这些发现凸显了患者参与的变革性影响，以及摄影舆论在记录患者观点纵向转变方面的实用性：Photovoice 有效地吸引了 Long Covid 患者的参与，并捕捉到了他们作为 PE 不断变化的角色和看法。这项研究强调了以患者为主导的参与式方法在提高临床研究的相关性和适用性方面的价值，倡导更广泛地采用这些方法来改善以患者为中心的护理和研究成果：CoVIP 工作室利益相关者咨询委员会（CoVIP SAB）为该项目的共同开发和实施提供了指导。CoVIP SAB 由九名具有互补技能和专业知识的成员组成，其中包括三名患者、三名为 COVID-19 患者提供护理的临床医生以及三名在以患者为中心的研究、COVID-19 和/或患者参与方面具有专长并与患者作为共同研究者开展合作的研究人员。委员会对项目的设计和实施、照片选择提示的改进和传播策略的制定都做出了贡献。此外，一名积极参与项目各个阶段的 PE 参与了本文的撰写，并成为本文的共同作者。所有项目活动都有患者和/或护理人员参与，他们都有 Long Covid 的亲身经历。
