Abstract: To support patients in making complex and difficult decisions, it is necessary to form a team that comprises different specialists, the patient, and family members who have detailed information about the latter. Shared decision-making (SDM) is the foundation of patient-centered care; however, its structure in the context of multidisciplinary teams remains unclear. This cross-sectional study aimed to validate the novel interprofessional SDM measure (“Group’s SDM measure”). We used data of 175 participants who attended SDM Workshops for Advance Care Planning. The Group’s SDM measure included 10 Japanese items that could be used by small groups of multidisciplinary professionals, and the responses were rated using a 6-point Likert scale. The index exhibited a single-factor structure and high goodness of fit with residual correlation via factor analysis. We calculated Cronbach’s ? (? = 0.948) and McDonald’s ? (? = 0.948) and verified high internal consistency. The Group’s SDM measure can be used when evaluating the SDM process where multidisciplinary professionals are involved. We hope that in the future, it will lead to the promotion of interprofessional SDM through training with the use of this measure.
