iSHAREpatient and iSHAREphysician Sample Clauses

iSHAREpatient and iSHAREphysician. The iSHAREpatient (Box 1) and iSHAREphysician (Box 2) have the same, but mirrored 15 items,14 with a six-point unbalanced scale, ranging from ‘not at all’ (0) to ‘completely’ (5).24 They encompass the same construct, consisting of six dimensions (i.e., Choice awareness, Medical information, Preferences, Deliberation, Time for deliberation, Decision). The items relate to these six dimensions, which we do not assume to be necessarily correlated,2, 25, 26 leading us to adopt a formative measurement model (i.e., the items form the construct).14 The dimensions aim to assess the complete SDM process both during and outside consultations, and include both patient and physician behaviours. Depending on whether a decision has already been made or not, either the score on item 15 or item 16 is relevant to compute the score on dimension six.14 If a patient or physician had indicated that a decision had been made, or if the response to that item was missing, we report the score on item 15; otherwise, we report the score on item 16. We calculated dimension scores (range, 0-5) and a total score (the sum of the dimension scores; range, 0-30) for both iSHARE questionnaires. We applied a linear transformation to obtain a 0 to 100 total score ((score/30)*100). Higher dimension and total scores indicate higher levels of SDM. We only report dimension and total scores if all the respective items had been completed; the formative nature of the construct makes imputation of missing values inappropriate.
