Hypothesis
Can a conceptual model for inter-professional shared decision making (IP-SDM) in primary care be validated by stakeholders?
Conclusion
Stakeholders validated the new IP-SDM model for primary care settings and proposed few modifications.
Supporting Evidence
- Stakeholders suggested placing the patient at the center of the model.
- Barriers included time constraints and insufficient resources.
- Facilitators included education and training in inter-professionalism.
Takeaway
This study created a new model to help doctors and patients work together in making health decisions, and many people agreed it was a good idea.
Methodology
The study involved 15 individual interviews and 7 group interviews with 79 stakeholders to assess the model's validity.
Potential Biases
Participants who did not watch the explanatory video may have understood the model differently.
Limitations
The study relied on a snowball sampling method, which may not represent all stakeholders' perspectives.
