Background:

Interdisciplinary team meetings are crucial in healthcare settings.
Measuring individual participation in these meetings is challenging.
Existing tools for assessing team dynamics may not capture nuanced participation levels.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate a scale for measuring individual participation in interdisciplinary team meetings.
To explore the dimensional structure of participation.
To assess the reliability and generalizability of the participation scale.

Main Methods:

Observational study of team meetings at a residential institution.
Development of a participation measurement scale.
Principal components analysis (PCA) to determine participation dimensions.
Generalizability study to assess measurement consistency.

Main Results:

The developed scale demonstrated acceptable interobserver agreement.
PCA indicated participation is not a single factor but comprises at least five independent dimensions.
Generalizability study showed participation varies across meetings, suggesting multiple observations are necessary.

Conclusions:

The new scale offers a reliable method for assessing multidimensional participation in team meetings.
Findings highlight the complexity of participation, impacting team effectiveness.
The scale provides valuable insights for researchers and practitioners aiming to improve team collaboration and outcomes.
