Translated versions of the 9-item shared decision-making questionnaire show reliable patient involvement measurement. Validation confirms tool efficacy across diverse, language-specific populations.
Area of Science:
- Health Services Research
- Psychometrics
- Patient-Reported Outcomes
Background:
- The 9-item shared decision-making questionnaire is a key tool for assessing patient involvement.
- Numerous translated versions exist, necessitating a consolidated review of their psychometric properties.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically evaluate the psychometric validation of translated 9-item shared decision-making questionnaires.
- To provide comprehensive data on the reliability and validity of these tools for international use.
Main Methods:
- Systematic literature search across PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and developer websites up to February 2024.
- Psychometric validation assessment based on item characteristics, content validity, and factor analysis.
- Narrative synthesis following European Social Research Council guidance for systematic reviews.
Main Results:
- Nine studies involving 3090 participants across various countries were included.
- Most translated versions demonstrated good model fit and satisfactory reliability (Cronbach's alpha) and validity.
- Limitations included convenience sampling and potential recall bias in participant responses.
Conclusions:
- The 9-item shared decision-making tool is validated for measuring patient involvement in diverse, language-specific contexts.
- Satisfactory confirmatory analysis and reliability testing support its international application.
