Assessing the extent of shared decision making in Pediatrics: Preliminary psychometric evaluation of the German CollaboRATEpediatric scales for patients aged 7–18 years, parents and parent-proxy reports
Abstract Objective To conduct a preliminary evaluation of psychometric properties of CollaboRATEpediatric, a set of three scales to assess shared decision making (SDM) with pediatric patients, parents and parents on behalf of their children (parent-proxy reports). As secondary objectives we examined the scales’ distributional characteristics, acceptability, and agreement between scales. Methods Patients aged ≥ 7 years and parents were recruited in two outpatient facilities providing healthcare services for children with neurological and behavioral health conditions. We collected 46, 169 and 227 pediatric patient, parent-proxy and parent reports, respectively. Convergent, divergent and discr…
Assessment of shared decision making in pediatrics: Developing German scales for patients aged 7-18 years, parents and parent-proxy reports (CollaboRATE
Abstract Objective To develop parsimonious German scales (CollaboRATEpediatric) to assess shared decision making (SDM) with patients aged 7-18 years, parents and parents on behalf of their children (parent-proxy reports), and to establish comprehensibility and preliminary face validity. Methods Based on an existing SDM scale for adults (CollaboRATE) we developed CollaboRATEpediatric in a two-step approach: (1) team-based translation of the English CollaboRATE scale into German and adaptation for pediatric patients, parents and parent-proxy reports, followed by (2) iterative revisions of the CollaboRATEpediatric scales based on cognitive interviews with patients and parents until comprehensi…
Organizational Culture and Readiness for Change in German pediatric outpatient centres
Abstract Background Organizational readiness for implementing change (ORIC) is presumed key for successful change in healthcare settings. At the same time, ORIC is theorized to depend on cultural and other factors of the organizational context. Within the process evaluation of the PART-CHILD intervention in interdisciplinary pediatric outpatient centres (IPOC) for children with chronic health conditions in Germany, we assessed to what extent ORIC is associated with organizational culture and further contextual factors. Methods In 2019 data was collected from health care professionals in 12 IPOC, using a questionnaire comprising subjectively perceived ORIC (measure: ORIC, 5-point Likert scal…
