Table 6 Methods and measures to evaluate the behaviour change intervention
From: Development of a behaviour change intervention: a case study on the practical application of theory
Evaluation level | Method | Measure |
|---|---|---|
Satisfaction with workshops (delivery of behaviour change intervention). | Questionnaire administered at the end of workshop 3. | Level 1 Kirkpatrick educational outcomes [37], such as level of enjoyment, views on content and confidence in delivering the model OA consultation. |
Intention to practise. | Questionnaire administered before and twice after (at one month and five months after) the behaviour change intervention. | Vignette of an older adult presenting with joint pain and options for assessment and management. |
Mediators of change. | Questionnaire administered before and twice after (at one month and five months after) the behaviour change intervention. | Statements based on TDF* domains identified at step 2, for example “How much do you think exercise and increasing physical activity by people with osteoarthritis will improve their pain (beliefs about consequences). |
Competency in delivering the model OA consultation. | Video-recordings of the GPs undertaking a consultation with simulated OA patients were made before and twice after (at one and five months after) the behaviour change intervention. | Videos were assessed for the presence of specific behaviours necessary for the delivery of the model OA consultation. |
Performance in delivering the model OA consultation. | Patient report: patients who attended the MOSAICS study nurse-led OA clinic were asked to report on the content of the previous GP consultation. | Four aspects of the consultation, did the GP: elicit ideas about the problem, give the diagnosis, explain the diagnosis, hand out the guidebook? |
