Abstract
Background and Aims
Healthcare professionals in stroke rehabilitation care need training to implement shared decision making (SDM). We developed a comprehensive SDM training targeting interprofessional stroke rehabilitation teams. We evaluated the training programme on feasibility in order to disseminate this programme in the Netherlands.
Methods
In total, five centres and 77 professionals participated in the training programme in 2018. The programme consisted of an online three-hours training addressing the theory, importance and advantages of SDM and the impact of stroke-related cognitive and communication problems on the SDM process. In addition to the online course, a three-hours basic training and an optional three-hours follow-up training were organized. These face-to-face training sessions used consultation audio recording fragments and exercises to reflect on and improve current practice. Immediately after the training sessions, reactions of participants were assessed using a self-administered questionnaire.
Results
77 professionals participated in the basic training and 43 in the follow-up training. The basic and follow-up training were evaluated with 7.6 and 7.5 (mean; 1 ’very poor’ to 10 ’excellent’). According to participants, the basic and follow-up training improved participants’ knowledge (3.3/3.1), understanding (3.4/3.2) and skills (3.2/2.9) on SDM (mean; 1 ’less’ to 5 ’very much’). Three quarters of the participants regarded the training as ‘highly practical’. Participants identified a need for regular feedback on personal performance, through (inter)professional reflection on how consultations are conducted.
Conclusions
The online course followed by a basic training seems feasible for professionals. Professionals indicated a need for regular feedback and peer observation to improve SDM in stroke rehabilitation practice.
