Abstract

The realm of healthcare decision-making remains inadequately explored, specifically in assessing the psychometric characteristics of tools like the Provider Decision Process Assessment Instrument (PDPAI). This study aims to fill this void by examining decisional conflict among resident trainees and experienced consultant physicians. We approached a total of 347 physicians using a convenient sampling method from tertiary care hospitals. The analysis encompassed (i) factorial validity of PDPAI through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and evaluating the single group CFA models and (ii) multigroup CFA models, (iii) examining factorial invariance among residents’ trainees and experienced physiciansʼ groups, (iv) Rasch analysis assessing the individual item impact on the subdomains, (v) internal consistency (vi) convergent and discriminant validity. The bi-factor model adequately fit the data as all factor loadings (0.44-0.70) were statistically significant (p < 0.05). The bifactor model supported the global construct or the sub-domains as suitable measurement models. The PDPAI showed invariance for use across two physician groups. Physicians encountered greatest difficulty in item “I was clear what treatment would be best for this patient.” [MNSQ Infit/Outfit: 1.327/1.278] and found the easiest item “It was easy to identify all of the considerations that affect the decision” [0.902/0.869]. Adequate internal consistency was revealed through Cronbach and Omega coefficient values. Convergent and discriminant validity of PDPAI was supported by correlating with team decisionmaking questionnaire and compassion fatigue respectively. The PDPAIʼs validated cross-group invariance highlights itʼs applicability to a diverse range of physician groups, guiding tailored interventions.
