Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Trial Comparing Approaches to Shared Decision Making Skills Training for Clinicians (NCT NCT02871739)

NCT ID: NCT02871739

Last Updated: 2019-02-08

Results Overview

Transcripts from standardized patient interactions (SPI) will be scored using Braddock's Informed Decision Making (IDM) framework to assess shared decision making skills. Scores with the Braddock's Informed Decision Making Framework range from 0 to 9; the higher scores are better. We subtracted the scores of the baseline SPI collected before the intervention from the second SPI collected 4-6 weeks later, after the intervention, to determine the change in IDM score for each participant and then compared change scores across study arms.

Measure
DA Viewing With SPI Feedback
Group 1 receives three decision aids and feedback on their standardized patient (SPI) interaction rating their shared decision making skills and highlighting opportunities for improvement. DA viewing: Participants will receive 3 decisions aids to review. SPI feedback: Rating of shared decision making skills and opportunities for improvement based on transcript of a standardized patient interaction
DA Viewing With no SPI Feedback
Group 2 receives three decision aids. This group does not receive any feedback from the SPI. DA viewing: Participants will receive 3 decisions aids to review.
Webinar With SPI Feedback
Group 3 receives an online, interactive webinar that focuses on SDM skills in clinical encounters and feedback on their standardized patient (SPI) interaction rating their shared decision making skills and highlighting opportunities for improvement. Webinar: 1 hour online, interactive webinar that covers shared decision making skills in clinical encounters. SPI feedback: Rating of shared decision making skills and opportunities for improvement based on transcript of a standardized patient interaction
Webinar With no SPI Feedback
Group 4 receives an online, interactive webinar that focuses on SDM skills in clinical encounters. This group does not receive any feedback from the SPI. Webinar: 1 hour online, interactive webinar that covers shared decision making skills in clinical encounters.
