Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Our primary outcome is how the ECT decision support tool is experienced by both patients and clinicians in terms of usability and satisfaction during routine consultations with regards to the shared-decision making process. Usability will be measured with the HSUS. Satisfaction is assessed through a short self-developed questionnaire consisting of five questions. Additionally, a standardized observation form will be filled out by the researchers during the consultations which provides additional qualitative data to assess usability and satisfaction. Moreover, qualitative data on the overall experience of patients with the ECT decision support tool, is gathered during the focus group. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Our secondary outcomes focus on exploring potential safety risks associated with the use of the ECT decision support tool during routine clinical consultations and to identify suggestions for improvements of the ECT decision support tool. Qualitative data on safety will be gathered through the observation forms during the routine consultations. It will be observed how often and to what extent certain risks occur and how they are mitigated.We will also evaluate remission rates, based on Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) scores (HDRS = 7 at the end of the ECT course). | — |
