Title: | What is the Co-Creation of New Knowledge? A Content Analysis and Proposed Definition for Health Interventions | Contributor(s): | Pearce, Tania (author); Maple, Myfanwy (author)![]() ![]() |
Publication Date: | 2020-03-26 | Open Access: | Yes | DOI: | 10.3390/ijerph17072229 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/29858 | Abstract: | Co-creation of new knowledge has the potential to speed up the discovery and application of new knowledge into practice. However, the progress of co-creation is hindered by a lack of definitional clarity and inconsistent use of terminology. The aim of this paper is to propose a new standardised definition of co-creation of new knowledge for health interventions based on the existing co-creation literature. The authors completed a systematic search of electronic databases and Google Scholar using 10 of the most frequently used co-creation-related keywords to identify relevant studies. Qualitative content analysis was performed, and two reviewers independently tested the categorisation of papers. Of the 6571 papers retrieved, 42 papers met the inclusion criteria. Examination of the current literature on co-creation demonstrated how the variability of co-creation-related terms can be reduced to four collaborative processes: co-ideation, co-design, co-implementation and co-evaluation. Based on these four processes, a new definition of co-creation of new knowledge for health interventions is proposed. The analysis revealed the need to address the conceptual ambiguity of the definition of "co-creation of new knowledge". The proposed new definition may help to resolve the current definitional issues relating to co-creation, allowing researchers and policymakers to progress the development of co-creation of new knowledge in research and practice. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 17(7), p. 1-18 | Publisher: | MDPI AG | Place of Publication: | Switzerland | ISSN: | 1660-4601 1661-7827 |
