๐ Background
The concept of co-creation has gained traction in various fields, leading to an increase in co-created products, services, and interventions. However, there remains a significant gap in understanding the experiences of co-creators themselves. This scoping review aims to bridge that gap by aggregating existing literature and providing a comprehensive overview of the emotional and psychological aspects of co-creation.
๐๏ธ Study
The study will follow a systematic approach guided by established scoping review methodologies. It will involve comprehensive searches of relevant electronic databases, including Scopus, to identify pertinent studies. The review will also utilize snowball searching techniques through the Connected Papers tool to ensure a thorough exploration of the literature.
๐ Results
The anticipated outcome of this scoping review is a detailed understanding of how co-creators define and assess their experiences. By employing the PRISMA-ScR flow diagram, the review will present findings both narratively and visually, offering a clear representation of the existing literature on co-creation experiences.
๐ Impact and Implications
The insights gained from this review could significantly enhance our understanding of the co-creation process. By focusing on the emotional and psychological experiences of co-creators, we can inform future practices and interventions, ultimately leading to improved outcomes for both co-creators and the products or services they help develop.
๐ฎ Conclusion
This scoping review protocol represents a crucial step towards understanding the emotional and psychological dimensions of co-creation among adults. By aggregating existing research, we hope to shed light on the experiences of co-creators, paving the way for more effective and meaningful co-creation processes in the future. We look forward to the findings and their implications for practice!

Adult co-creators’ emotional and psychological experiences of the co-creation process: a Health CASCADE scoping review protocol.
Abstract
BACKGROUND: There is a growing investment in the use of co-creation, reflected by an increase in co-created products, services, and interventions. At the same time, a growing recognition of the significance of co-creators’ experience can be detected but there is a gap in the aggregation of the literature with regard to experience. Therefore, the purpose of this scoping review is to uncover the breadth of existing empirical research on co-creation experience, how it has been defined and assessed, and its key emotional and psychological characteristics in the context of co-created products, services, or interventions among adults.
METHODS: The development of the search strategy was guided by the research question, Arksey, and O’Malley’s scoping review methodology guidelines, and through collaboration with members of the Health CASCADE consortium. The results of the search and the study inclusion process will be reported in full and presented both narratively and by use of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses extension for scoping review (PRISMA-ScR) flow diagram. Comprehensive searches of relevant electronic databases (e.g. Scopus) will be conducted to identify relevant papers. Snowball searches to identify additional papers through included full-text papers will be done using the artificial intelligence tool, namely, Connected Papers. All review steps will involve at least two reviewers. Studies in English, Dutch, Chinese, Spanish, and French, published from the year 1970 onwards, will be considered. Microsoft Excel software will be used to record and chart extracted data.
DISCUSSION: The resulting scoping review could provide useful insights into adult co-creators’ experience of participating in the co-creation process. An increased understanding of the role of emotional and psychological experiences of participating in co-creation processes may help to inform the co-creation process and lead to potential benefits for the co-creators and co-created outcome.
