Comparison of determinant mapping across theoretical frameworks

Determinant themes from AMDE study	TDF domains selected		TICD domains:determinants selected		Apparent match in underlying meaning
	Both mappers	One mapper	Both mappers	One mapper
PHYSICIAN BELIEFS
AMDEs considered expected or unavoidable and not adverse unless outcomes catastrophic; viewed as more severe in other specialties	Beliefs about consequences	Social-professional role and identity	Health professional cognitions: expected outcome	Health professional cognitions: agreement with the recommendation	Yes (expected outcome)
AMDEs within 2 years of use were considered unusual	Beliefs about consequences	–	Health professional cognitions: expected outcome	Health professional cognitions: agreement with the recommendation	Yes (expected outcome)
Views about cause of AMDEs confounded by multiple factors	–	Beliefs about consequences, Knowledge	–	Health professional cognitions: agreement with the recommendation, Health professional knowledge and skills: domain knowledge	Yes (knowledge)
Incidence of AMDEs has decreased, thus devices were thought to be improved	–	Beliefs about consequences, optimism	Health professional cognitions: expected outcome	Health professional cognitions: agreement with the recommendation	Yes (expected outcome)
POLICIES, PROCESSES OR SYSTEMS
Follow-up of device-related outcomes beyond short-term results done elsewhere	Environmental context and resources	Social-professional role and identity	Recommended behaviour: observability	Health professional cognitions: intention and motivation, Health professional behaviour: nature of the behaviour, Health professional knowledge and skills: knowledge about own practice, Health professional behaviour: self-monitoring or feedback, Professional interactions: referral processes	Yes (professional role or behaviour, observability or knowledge of own behaviour)
Devices implanted not recorded in patient records	Environmental context and resources	–	Incentives and resources: information system	Health professional knowledge and skills: knowledge about own practice, Health professional behaviour: self-monitoring or feedback, Health professional behaviour: capacity to plan change	Yes (resources or information system)
No hospital, national or international systems for AMDE reporting	Environmental context and resources	Knowledge, Reinforcement, Behavioural regulation	Incentives and resources: information system, Incentives and resources: availability of necessary resources, Capacity for organizational change: regulations, rules and policies	Health professional knowledge and skills: domain knowledge, Health professional cognitions: intention and motivation, Health professional behaviour: self-monitoring or feedback, Incentives and resources: non-financial incentives and disincentives, Incentives and resources: quality assurance and patient safety systems, Capacity for organizational change: monitoring and feedback	Yes (resources or information system, knowledge, reinforcement or non-financial incentives or disincentives, regulation or self- or organizational monitoring)
DEVICE MARKET
Use of specific devices often determined by purchase group contract obligations	Environmental context and resources	–	Health professional behaviour: capacity to plan change	Capacity for organizational change: regulations, rules and policies, Incentives and resources: financial incentives and disincentives, Capacity for organizational change: mandate, authority and accountability, Social, political and legal factors: economic constraints on the health care budget, Social, political and legal factors: contracts	Yes (context and resources or policies, financial incentives and disincentive, authority, budget, contracts)
Lack of responsiveness to AMDEs from industry	Reinforcement	Knowledge, Optimism, Beliefs about consequences, Environmental context and resources	–	Health professional cognitions: expected outcome, Health professional cognitions: intention and motivation, Health professional behaviour: self-monitoring or feedback, Social, political and legal factors: influential people	Yes (reinforcement or feedback or influential people, expected outcome, optimism or motivation)
