Development of a question prompt list on decision making in patients with diabetic foot:a feasibility study
Objective To develop a question prompt list(QPL)on decision making in patients with diabetic foot,and to provide a practical tool for promoting their participation in medical decision-making.Methods The patient version of the QPL was formulated by using literature review,consultation with first-line medical staff,semi-structured interviews,Delphi consultation and clinical adaptation.Then,a convenience sample of 39 patients were selected to evaluate the clinical feasibility of the QPL.Results Question-naire return rate in two rounds of Delphi consultation was 95.00%and 100.00%respectively,and the authority coefficient was 0.951 and 0.948.The Kendall's W of importance and relevance of the indicators was 0.214 and 0.200 respectively(both P<0.05).The QPL included 6 primary indicators and 43 secondary indicators.About 41.03%-69.23%of the patients approved of the efficacy of the QPL.Conclusion The QPL on decision making for patients with diabetic foot is feasible,which can help them ask more disease-related questions,improve doctor-patient communication,and promote patients'participation in decision making.
