The RRPQ-R is a validated 23-item instrument designed to assess participants' experiences and perceptions of research participation. It comprises five subscales: participation (7 items, range 7-35), personal benefit (5 items, range 5-25), emotional reactions (6 items, range 6-30), perceived drawbacks (3 items, range 3-15), and global evaluation (2 items, range 2-10). Items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree). Higher scores on participation, personal benefit, and global evaluation indicate more positive perceptions, while higher scores on emotional reactions and perceived drawbacks reflect greater negative emotional or practical impact. A total score can be calculated by summing across all items (range 23-115), with higher scores reflecting more favorable overall experiences of research participation.
