BackgroundDisorders of consciousness (DoC) refers to a group of clinical conditions of altered consciousness. To improve their diagnosis and prognosis, multimodal assessment can be of great importance. Informal caregivers of people with DoC who are confronted with new technologies as such can benefit from interventions to expand their health literacy, i.e., the ability to use information to make health decisions for oneself and others.MethodsWe developed an information brochure on multimodal assessment for DoC in a participatory process, with decisions made by a steering group. The process was based on a methodological framework for the development of patient decision aids that built on the International Patient Decision Aid Standards (IPDAS).ResultsOn the background of a broad variety of needs, the priority was to focus on the explanation of multimodal testing and provide information about its uncertainty. Its development aimed at enhancing informal caregivers' understanding of implications of results from multimodal assessment and its relevance for prognosis. It should avoid the portrayal of information that could lead to the impression of false hope or suboptimal rehabilitation care. Informal caregivers rated its usability and acceptability highly, though they preferred less technical language.ConclusionThe participatory process was crucial to the project. Future studies should investigate the effectiveness of the brochure in fostering informal caregivers' health literacy.Patient or Public ContributionInformal caregivers of people with DoC were deliberately included in the steering group and they participated in a field test of the prototype brochure.
