dc.description.abstractWorldwide, Strategic Clinical Networks (SCNs) are primary structures to improve patient safety, quality of care, and evidence-based healthcare practices. Stakeholder engagement plays a key role in quality improvement (QI) initiatives within SCNs. However, little is known about what factors affect engagement within SCNs. Using the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) as a framework, this study aimed to assess factors that predict stakeholders’ intent to engage in SCN QI projects. Survey questions were developed using the TPB constructs intention, attitude, subjective norms, descriptive norms, and perceived behavioural control. Nine SCNs participated in the study (23% - response rate). Score validity evidence was established through content, internal structure (reliability), and relationships between variables (exploratory factor analysis and multiple regression). Results provide preliminary evidence for the utility of the tool to measure engagement. Additionally, interventions targeted at enhancing stakeholder attitudes and subjective norms could increase engagement in SCN project work in the future.en_US
