Implementing the Decision-Aid for Lupus (IDEAL Strategy)

Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Interventions
Other: SMILE Computerized Decision-Aid
Registration Number
NCT03735238
Lead Sponsor
University of Alabama at Birmingham
Brief Summary

The study will attempt to put into practice a shared decision making (SDM) strategy, using an individualized, computerized decision- aid (DA) for Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Detailed Description

The proposed study will evaluate methods to implement a shared decision making strategy, using an individualized, computerized decision- aid (DA). The investigators will test the effectiveness of this implementation with 3 strategies in 16 clinics. Formative evaluation strategies will be used to assess needs at each clinic, with key clinic informants participating in semi-structured interviews. The study will enroll at least 500 patient participants across all 16 sites, who will review the decision aid and be asked a feasibility and acceptability assessment. At the conclusion of the study, key clinic informants, as well as selected patient participants will participate in semi-structured interviews to assess the effectiveness in implementing the DA in the clinic setting.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Penetration24 months

This is measured using study records (# of patients viewed the Decision Aid (DA)/ # of eligible patients)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Perceived DA Permanence12 months

Clinic personnel's perception of the permanence of the decision-aid, measured using one validated item that is scored ranging from 1 ("Not at all permanent") to 5 ("Extremely permanent"). This item will be examined by itself, where higher scores indicate perceptions of greater permanence of the decision-aid in the clinic (i.e., better outcome).

Patient perception of DA Usefulness0 months

Patient perception of the effect of the decision-aid on preparing the patient for decision making measured using the Preparation for Decision Making (PDM), a validated scale consisting of 10 questions scored on an ordinal scale from (not at all =1) to (a great deal = 5). For scoring, sum the score of the 10 items and divide by 10. Scores can then be converted to a 0-100 scale by subtracting 1 from this summed score and multiplying by 25.

Perceived Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM) for Decision Aid (DA)12 Months

Clinic personnel's perception of the feasibility of the decision-aid, measured using a validated scale with four (4) items with responses ranging from 1 ("completely disagree") to 5 ("completely agree"). The four items will be averaged to create one composite mean scale score (range 1-5), where higher scores reflect perceptions of greater feasibility (i.e., better outcome).

Perceived Acceptability of Intervention Measure (IAM) for Decision Aid (DA)12 months

Clinic personnel's perception of the acceptability of the decision-aid, measured using a validated scale with four (4) items with responses ranging from 1 ("completely disagree") to 5 ("completely agree"). The four items will be averaged to create one composite mean scale score (range 1-5), where higher scores reflect perceptions of greater acceptability (i.e., better outcome).

Perceived Intervention Appropriateness Measure (IAM) for Decision Aid (DA)12 Months

Clinic personnel's perception of the appropriateness of the decision-aid, measured using a validated scale with four (4) items with responses ranging from 1 ("completely disagree") to 5 ("completely agree"). The four items will be averaged to create one composite mean scale score (range 1-5), where higher scores reflect perceptions of greater appropriateness (i.e., better outcome).

Perceived DA Implementation Success12 months

Clinic personnel's perception of the implementation success of the decision-aid, measured using a validated scale with three (3) items with responses ranging from 1 ("Disagree") to 5 ("Agree"). These three items will be averaged to create one composite mean scale score (range 1-5), where higher scores reflect perceptions of greater implementation success (i.e., better outcome).

Patient Satisfaction for Decision Aid (DA)0 months

Patient satisfaction with the ease of the use of the decision-aid measured using a validated single item scale scored on an ordinal scale from (strongly disagree =1) to (strongly agree = 5). This item will be examined by itself, where higher scores indicate greater patient satisfaction with the decision aid (i.e., better outcome). This is a single item scale, and there are no subscales. It was adapted from another study that assessed satisfaction with IPad or interactive voice response.
