Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Agreement between the participants’ and an expert assessment of patient involvement in a video recorded consultation. The extent to which a clinician evaluates observed communication accurately was determined to be a reasonable proxy for SDM communication competencies. To assess this ability, participants will be exposed to a video of a decision consultation and asked to score their observations using an the MAPPIN´SDM observer sheet. In the current study, the observer scale focusing the patient-health care provider dyad was chosen to measure the communication performance. Judgements will be made immediately after the training or the waiting condition, respectively. Accuracy is calculated using weighted T coefficients calculated pairwise between participants’ judgements and an expert standard rating.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. The ability to identify SDM relevant decisions will be assessed using a open-ended question within a questionnaire before (control group) or after (intervention group) the intervention. 2. Basic knowledge about SDM will be assessed using a five-item multiple choice knowledge test (questionnaire), previously used in similar studies and in other modules within the Ready for SDM framework. The level of achieved knowledge will be assessed immediately after the training (intervention group) or before the training (control group). 3. Additional feedback regarding the intervention will be collected after the intervention using a questionnaire.
