Next, the validity and reliability of the collaboration theme subscales at baseline were tested at the partnership level.
Respondents with more than 30% of missing answers on the collaboration theme items were excluded, as they had stopped their responses on the questionnaire prematurely.
While there was not a category corresponding to our "Interprofessional collaboration" theme in the ACCEPT data, we propose that communication between patients and families could be represented as an analogous theme.
Apparently, that was the rationale for the name and appearance of the KKK-looking beer in the first place: In 2014, the U.K.'s Siren Craft Brew put forth a challenge for 14 breweries to make beer collaborations themed around colors of the rainbow.
Given the non-linear, continual change in development of a partnership [ 22, 39], it seems reasonable to evaluate the collaboration process themes at the start and during the partnership, in order to understand how these themes shape its final success.
2) To what extent do changes in the collaboration process themes influence the final success of a partnership?
Specifically, this leads to the following research questions: 1) To what extent do the five collaboration process themes at baseline influence the final success of a partnership?
When comparing the collaboration process themes at the start with the change of collaboration process over time, only relationship dynamics appeared to have a significant effect on the final success of the partnership.
Therefore, we hypothesised that the perceived degree of success of a partnership is influenced by the presence at baseline of the collaboration process themes and their transformation over time.
