Summary: This study aims to identify how current observer-based shared decision-making measures apply to each mode of purposeful shared decision-making. The results show that the existing measures can describe behaviors applicable to all modes, but lack items sensitive to behaviors particular to some specific modes.

Summary: This study found that shared decision making and patient-centered communication are not synonymous and have a weak correlation. In consultations, combinations of high SDM and low PCC or vice versa were common. The combination of high SDM and high PCC was associated with higher patient satisfaction scores.

Summary: This study explored the experiences of Australian male and female patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) in relation to family planning. The findings revealed the need for consistent communication with healthcare professionals (HCPs) regarding pregnancy intentions and improvements in the quality and accessibility of resources and support services for addressing reproductive concerns. It is important to integrate family planning conversations into routine care planning for MS patients and provide contemporary resources to support these discussions.

Summary: The contemporary healthcare field operates on an autonomy model of medical decision-making, yet shared decision-making lacks attention to descriptive influences which limits its development. A multi-level approach is proposed to tailor the decision encounter, strategically use relational elements, and modify incentive models to promote the practice of shared decision-making. These modifications are expected to make shared decision-making more inclusive, effective, and acceptable to diverse patients.

Summary: This study investigates how to optimize resident engagement during workplace learning of shared decision-making (SDM) by understanding their educational needs. The findings suggest that residents expressed a continuous need for attention to be paid to SDM during postgraduate medical education. Parallel training for residents and clinical supervisors is necessary to bridge the gap between education and clinical practice when learning SDM.

Summary: The implementation of shared decision making (SDM) in sarcopenia management is still in its early stage, but accumulating evidence suggests its importance in elderly care. This study provides an overview of general SDM practices and explores potential advantages and challenges of incorporating them into sarcopenia management. Structured techniques, such as the seek-help-assess-reach-evaluate approach, can effectively integrate SDM into daily practice and improve patient adherence and satisfaction. Further research is needed to address barriers to SDM implementation and explore measurement and outcomes, coordination and cooperation, and digital technology. The study concludes that integrating SDM into clinical practice offers promising opportunities to improve patient care, with patient-centered and partnership approaches positively impacting treatment outcomes.

Summary: This study conducted a dimensional analysis to identify conceptual gaps in shared decision making (SDM) in reproductive health care, particularly in contraceptive counseling. The researchers found that SDM includes four primary dimensions: Patient Preferences, Relationship, Provider Bias, and Clinical Suitability. They proposed a conceptual map and model to guide further research and highlighted the need for improved understanding of SDM across different perspectives and contexts.

Summary: This study aimed to identify the influencing factors of shared decision-making in long-term care facilities. The findings suggest that staff who have received person-centered care education and possess a higher person-centered attitude and communication behavior are more likely to engage in shared decision-making. Additionally, staff who perceive the care environment as person-centered are also more likely to engage in shared decision-making.

Summary: Shared decision-making is increasingly recognized and recommended in healthcare, but its application in cardiovascular care is still not well-developed. It promotes equity by involving clinicians and patients, sharing the best evidence, and considering the needs, values, and experiences of individuals and their families. However, its uptake in clinical practice still faces various challenges.

Summary: This study assessed the application of shared decision making (SDM) in telemedicine. The results showed that remote SDM can be supported through virtual interactions enabled by telemedicine technologies, promoting patient-centered care. Investment in innovation, design, implementation, and effectiveness research is needed to advance remote SDM.

Summary: The study found no significant association between hospital size and medico-legal concerns regarding mode of birth. Environmental factors that may influence SDM use include the time it takes to initiate an emergency cesarean and when the SDM intervention is introduced. Participants preferred an SDM approach where the pregnant person is involved in making the final decision for mode of birth.

Summary: This narrative review examined the effects of conflict of interest management strategies and patients' perspectives on conflicts of interest. The evidence showed significant noncompliance with prevailing requirements on conflict of interest management strategies, and highlighted the diverse views of patients on the acceptability of conflicts of interest, as well as the importance of conflict type and monetary value to patients. However, no research on the effects of IPDAS Collaboration conflict of interest quality standards on patient decision making or outcomes was identified.

Summary: This study developed a patient decision aid to portray the benefits and harms of non-surgical management and surgery for Achilles tendon ruptures, and conducted user-testing. The results showed that the decision aid was acceptable to both patients and health professionals. However, there were differing views among health professionals on details such as Achilles tendon retraction distance, factors modifying harm risks, treatment protocols, and evidence on benefits and harms.
