From: Use of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) by orthopedic surgeons in Saudi Arabia
SD | D | N | A | SA | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Data from PROMs are subjective; they cannot adequately reflect an individual’s situation. | 10 (3.82%) | 71 (27.1%) | 88 (33.6%) | 74 (28.2%) | 19 (7.25%) |
Orthopedic surgeons lack the necessary skills to interpret and use the information given by these instruments. | 18 (6.87%) | 73 (27.9%) | 69 (26.3%) | 86 (32.8%) | 16 (6.11%) |
To fill out PROMs is time-consuming and burdensome for the patients. | 3 (1.15%) | 31 (11.8%) | 63 (24.0%) | 128 (48.9%) | 37 (14.1%) |
Implementing PROMs would require significant changes in the structure of the basic clinical routine of healthcare providers as well as being costly. | 2 (0.76%) | 41 (15.6%) | 57 (21.8%) | 130 (49.6%) | 32 (12.2%) |
