Instruments identified to measure indicators of the Shared Decision Making model (Coutu et al., 2015) Instruments 1 Authors Concepts measured Validation 1- OPTION Observing Patient Involvement 2- Observational Grid 3- Working Alliance (dyadic measurement: worker and HCP 3 versions) 4- Ways of Mattering [1] Rate the 12 basic skills needed for SDM 2 on a fivepoint scale from 0 (behaviour not observed) to 4 (skill observed and exhibited to a high standard). Developed for this study. 22 items rated on categorical scales (i.e.: yes, no, and minimal observation) document aspects of the working alliance (cooperation, clinician s selfregulation); Problem needing an SDM process; establishing common objective and an action plan. [3] 12 items rated on a Likert scale (1 never to 7 = always) measuring the perception of the relationship established, of the task performed, and of the goals pursued. [4, 5] 24 Items rated on a Likert scale (1 very rare to 5 = very often) measuring the attention, importance given to the patient by the clinician. The feeling that the clinician is interested in the patient and the dependence (the patient s contribution is seen as essential). Good construct validity and [2] and has yielded very high inter-rater agreement, with intra-class correlation coefficient scores of 0.77 [1]. High internal consistency has also been observed [2]. Tested for item clarity for this study. High Cronbach s alphas have been observed [3] for each of the three constructs, and ranged from 0.83 to 0.98. High Cronbach s alphas varying from 0.82 to 0.91. 1 The number in front of each instrument correspond to the one in the SDM model s indicators. 2 Shared Decision Making 3 Health Care Professionnal
5- Return to work Obstacles and Coping Efficacy Musculoskeletal Disorder 6- The Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (Brief-IPQ) 7- Decisional Conflict Scale (DCS) [6] 97 items rated on a Likert scale ranging from 1 to 7 (Part A: 1 = Not an obstacle, 7 = Big obstacle; Part B: 1 = Not at all able to 7 = Completely able) measuring 8 dimensions that could be a hindering factor for return to work and the level of selfefficacy to overcome each obstacle (general health; motivation/self-efficacy; social support; workplace; workstation; interpersonal relationship with colleague and supervisor; relations with insurer; personal life). [8] 8 items rated on a Likert scale varying from 0 to 10 with the anchor description being adapted to the item. It measures the components of illness representation (identity/ symptoms; control, timeline, coherence, emotional representation, consequences, causes). One item ask to rank-order the three most important factors that caused the illness. [9] 16 items rated on a Likert scale (1 strongly agree to 5 = strongly disagree) measuring the uncertainty in choosing options, modifiable factors contributing to uncertainty (information, values and social support). Under study [7] Moderate to strong correlations (r =.46 0.63), with the exception of the personal (r =.33) and treatment control (r =.32) subscales [8]. Testretest reliability coefficient at 3 and 6-week interval varies from.42 to.75. The predictive validity at 3-month is satisfactory on functional status and quality of life. Test-retest reliability coefficient at 2-week interval is of 0.81. Internal consistency coefficients ranged from 0.78 to 0.92. Discriminant validity is satisfactory. A weak inverse correlation (r = - 0.16, p < 0.05) is observed between the DCS and knowledge test
8- Ottawa Personal Decision Guide 9- Agreement Questionnaire (worker and HCP versions) 10- Work Status Questionnaire 11- Decisional Regret Scale 12- Patient s Satisfaction [10] A structured interview based on four sections assessing the decisional needs, such as the knowledge, values, level of certainty, and social support or pressure. Developed for this study. [12] 7 items rated on a Likert scale (1 strongly disagree to 7 = strongly agree) measuring the perception of the feasibility and the meaningfulness of the objective, the option, the action plan. 3 open questions assess the objective, the option and the action plan as perceived by the worker or the HCP are also documented. If HCP made a recommendation (y/n) is documented. The dyadic measure helps identify the agreement between the worker and the HCP on the objective, the option and the action plan. By means of a decision tree three categories of work status are identified: (1) back at work (old job or another job; full-time or part-time); (2) absent from work due to a treated problem; (3) absent from work for a reason other than the treated problem. [13] 5 items on a Likert scale (1 = strongly agree to 5 = strongly disagree) measuring the level of regret regarding a decision. [14] Adaptation of the 6 rated on a Likert scale (1 strongly scores. Good apparent construct validity [11]. Not available Not available Cronbach s alphas varying from 0.81 to 0.92. Cronbach s alphas varying from 0.8 to 0.9.
Questionnaire 13- Practitioner s Satisfaction Scale disagree to 5 = strongly agree) measuring the level of satisfaction with the SDM consultation. [14] An adaptation using 11 items on a Likert scale (1 = not at all to 5 = completely) measuring the level of satisfaction with the SDM consultation. 14- Functional Status [15] 2 items on a 0 to 100% scale (0 = not at all to 100% as before the accident) assesses the percentage of work or activity of daily living currently being carried out by the worker and compared with before the accident or injury. 15- Semi-Structured Individual Interview Developed for this study Semi-structured individual interviews guide documenting workers and stakeholders perception of the factors hindering and facilitating SDM implementation. Questions are from Love [16] as part of the implementation evaluation and based on the indicators established within the SDM program. Cronbach s alphas varying from 0.8 to 0.9. Not available Pretested among target audiences for relevance and clarity of questions.
