Summary: This study evaluated a systematic social work-driven process for patient selection of a prepared medical decision-maker, however, the process did not effectively engage new patients with gynecologic cancers. Change in care preferences was common, and caregivers' knowledge of patients' treatment preferences was moderate at best.

Summary: This study evaluated a systematic social work-driven process for helping gynecologic cancer patients select and prepare medical decision-makers. The results showed that this intervention did not effectively engage patients to choose and prepare decision-makers. Care preferences of patients often changed, and caregivers had limited knowledge of patients' treatment preferences.

Summary: The study found that breast cancer patients may encounter problems in medical decision making, and psychological distress significantly increases the likelihood of experiencing these problems, but does not lead to the misalignment of preferred and perceived roles.

Summary: This study developed, tested, and validated machine learning algorithms to predict individual patient-reported outcomes at 1-year follow-up for women with breast cancer, aiming to facilitate individualized, patient-centered decision-making. Current decision-making relying on group-level evidence may not provide optimal treatment recommendations for individuals.

Summary: This study aims to use eye-tracking methods to assess nurse decision making during a clinical simulation. The gaze patterns of 8 experienced nurses managing a simulated stroke patient were observed, and it was found that nurses who recognized the stroke focused more on the vital sign monitor and the patient's head, suggesting these locations were consistently examined by decision-makers.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the decision-making processes between breast cancer patients and different healthcare professionals. The findings showed that patients generally reported a high level of participation and satisfaction with their treatment. However, the experiences of non-responders remain unknown.

Summary: This study aimed to analyze patients' perceived shared decision-making experiences over 4 weeks between patients participating or not in multidisciplinary tumor conferences and analyze the association of patients' active participation in and organizational variables of MTCs with patients' perceived SDM experience directly after MTC. The results showed that patients' perceived SDM experiences increased at 4 weeks after MTC with lower experiences for participating patients. The study found that the organizational variable of round table seating arrangement was significantly associated with higher perceived SDM experiences compared with other arrangements.

Summary: This study developed a scale to measure patient contraceptive agency in clinic visits. The results showed that most participants expressed high agency during their contraceptive visits, but one-fifth experienced low agency or coercion. The study also found that Asian/Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander participants and those with lower maternal education had lower agency scores.

Summary: The decision-making process in surgery recovery work is complex, and patients strive to minimize risk and ensure safety. Unlike professionals, patients lack training, education, or decision support. However, by applying the Naturalistic Decision Making (NDM) theoretical lens, we can better understand the burden of judgment and decision making in surgery recovery work. This lens and associated methods are suitable for studying this problem space.

Summary: The study aims to determine the breast reconstruction rate in a large Dutch teaching hospital and understand the motives of women to opt for or reject breast reconstruction. A retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted, categorizing patients who underwent mastectomy into two groups based on whether they had subsequent breast reconstruction or not. Patient-reported outcomes were evaluated using the Breast-Q and a short survey. The study found that patients have personal motives for their decision and that patients were well-informed.

Summary: This study examines how treatment-related preferences expressed by patients with prostate cancer and their partners are organized during clinical consultations. It found that when clinicians did not align with patients' preferences, it caused discordance in the interaction and led to couples silencing themselves. However, two deviant cases were identified where collaboration was maintained. Therefore, clinicians should acknowledge and create opportunities for discussing treatment preferences by recognizing the contributions of patients and their partners.

Summary: This study proposes a new approach combining artificial intelligence and multi-criteria decision-making for a more robust evaluation of machine learning models for early detection of breast cancer. The Support Vector Machine is ranked as the most favorable model, indicating the effectiveness of the proposed method in decision-making.

Summary: Research findings show that patients actively participate in shared decision-making in palliative care, desiring involvement in everyday nursing care, treatment decisions, and end-of-life decisions. Interdisciplinary teamwork, open communication, a good patient-professional relationship, a conducive environment, and mutual information are prerequisites for patient participation in shared decision-making.
