Abstract： Background:
Shared decision-making is advocated as the hallmark model in
treatment journey. In Egypt, there is no existing psychometric
tool assessing factors affecting engagement of Egyptian female
patients in the decision making of breast cancer surgeries.
Objective: to develop culturally sensitive questionnaire
assessing factors affecting engagement of Egyptian female
patients in the decision-making of breast cancer surgeries that
will be utilized in a larger study. Interventions/
Methods of developing this questionnaire involved:
conceptualization stage, development of patients’ and doctor
related items, and testing and piloting phases. Target group of
this questionnaire was women diagnosed with breast cancer and
admitted to Oncology Centre Mansoura University for breast
cancer surgeries, aged 18-70 years, and show willingness to
participate. Results:
Kappa coefficient ranged from 0.54 to 0.82 that means moderate
to almost perfect inter-ratter agreement. The overall Content
validity index was 0.83 which reflects adequate agreement
between panellists. Conclusion: this is the first context
specific questionnaire assessing factor affecting engagement of
Egyptian female patients in breast cancer surgeries. Results and
the psychometric properties suggest applicability and
feasibility of the questionnaire in larger studies.
Implications for practice: This study is part of larger
study assessing factors affecting engagement of Egyptian female
patients in the decision making of breast cancer surgeries.
Consequently, designing and implementing interventions targeting
maximizing patients’ engagement in the decision making of breast
cancer surgeries in culturally sensitive way.
