Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The importance of the patients' clinical experience has been reinforced several times over the last decade by healthcare organisations and policy makers. Routine gathering of experience data can help in enhancing patient-centred care and provide guidance to quality improvement schemes. Patient-reported experience measures can help to that end. The aim of this study was to develop a patient-reported experience measure to evaluate the experience of patients with temporomandibular disorders while receiving healthcare. METHODS: Input from several sources was utilised to develop the tool; previous literature, patients with temporomandibular disorders, and experts in the field. A qualitative study was conducted following the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement Instruments guidance to generate the items of the questionnaire, which subsequently underwent cognitive testing. RESULTS: Seventeen patients took part in the qualitative study, in addition to six healthcare professionals. The preliminary questionnaire consisted of 28 questions with six response options. CONCLUSIONS: This patient-reported experience measure is a brief tool to evaluate the clinical experience of patients with temporomandibular disorders. Patients' involvement ensured face and content validity of the questionnaire, in addition to the relevance, comprehensibility and comprehensiveness of the items.
