BACKGROUND: From many empirical and theoretical points of view, the implementation of shared decision making (SDM) in work rehabilitation for @entity158 due to a @entity85 ( @entity85 ) is justified but typically the SDM model applies to a one on one encounter between a healthcare provider and a @entity1 and not to an interdisciplinary team. OBJECTIVES: To adapt and implement an SDM program adapted to the realities of work rehabilitation for @entity158 associated with a @entity85 . More specific objectives are to adapt an SDM program applicable to existing rehabilitation programs, and to evaluate the extent of implementation of the SDM program in four rehabilitation centres. METHOD: For objective one, we will use a mixed perspective combining a theory-based development program/intervention and a user-based perspective. The users are the occupational therapists (OTs) and clinical coordinators. The strategies for developing an SDM program will include consulting the scientific literature and group consensus with clinicians-experts. A sample of convenience of eight OTs, four clinical coordinators and four psychologists all of whom have been working full-time in @entity85 rehabilitation for more than two years will be recruited from four collaborating rehabilitation centres. For objective two, using the same criteria as for objective one, we will first train eight OTs in SDM. Second, using a descriptive design, the extent to which the SDM program has been implemented will be assessed through observations of the SDM process. The observation data will be triangulated with the dyadic working alliance questionnaire, and findings from a final individual interview with each OT. A total of five @entity1 per trained OT will be recruited, for a total of 40 @entity1 . @entity1 will be eligible if they have a work-related disability for more than 12 weeks due to @entity4512 and plan to start their work rehabilitation programs. DISCUSSION: This study will be the first evaluation of the program and it is expected that improvements will be made prior to a @entity2653 . The ultimate aim is to improve the quality of decision making, @entity1 ' quality of life, and reduce the duration of their work-related disability by improving the services offered during the rehabilitation process.
