Article Abstract

Objective: Patients with relapsed ovarian cancer are offered multiple treatment options. To match treatment with the individual patient's life situation and preferences, healthcare professionals can apply shared decision making (SDM) including patient decision aids (PtDAs).This study aimed to evaluate the implementation of two different PtDAs in consultations with patients suffering from relapsed ovarian cancer.

Methods: We analyzed the following data before and after implementation of the PtDAs: 1) observed SDM using the OPTION instrument, 2) physician treatment recommendations, and 3) patients' and physicians' evaluations of SDM in consultations using the CollaboRATE, SDM-Q-9, and SDM-Q-Doc.

Results: Significant improvement in observed SDM was found after the implementation ( = 0.002). Improvement of SDM was detected in consultations conducted by physicians reporting more than two hours of SDM-training ( < 0.001), but not when physicians reported less than two hours of SDM-training.No before/after differences in treatment recommendations and in patients' and physicians' evaluations were found.

Conclusion: Implementation of PtDAs improved the level of observed SDM. Training of physicians in SDM is necessary for improved SDM practice.

Innovation: Discussing oncological treatment options with the use of PtDAs is not standard practice in Denmark. The present study is one of the first Danish studies focusing on how to implement SDM and PtDAs in oncological consultations.

Background: Interest in standardizing descriptions of health outcomes is increasing. In a Health Outcome Descriptor (HOD), outcomes are systematically described covering four domains: Symptoms, Time horizon, Testing and Treatment, and Consequences. Given the lack of HODs for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), the aim of this study was to review published RA outcome descriptions and map them to the HOD framework.

Introduction: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are effective methods carried out widely in patients with end-stage hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA). Despite the trend towards shared decision-making in surgical decisions, patients often struggle to fully participate due to a lack of informational support. Patient decision aids (PtDAs) which provide evidence-based sources of health information can address this issue and facilitate shared decision-making.

Article Synopsis
  • The goal of the study is to help patients with cancer make decisions about starting palliative care (which is special care for those who are very sick) using a helpful tool called a patient decision aid (PtDA).
  • The research looked at 15 different studies to find out the best ways to help patients and their families make these important decisions together.
  • It was found that training healthcare workers and creating clear guides (like videos) are really important for making sure patients feel supported and satisfied during their end-of-life care.

The aim of the SDM-RCC study is to evaluate the impact of a comprehensive shared decision-making (SDM) intervention for patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) on the decision-making process and outcomes. The intervention includes online patient decision aids (PtDAs) and training of health care professionals (HCPs) in the use of PtDAs and SDM. The study is a multicenter, prospective pretest-posttest cohort in six Dutch hospitals, focusing on patients with localized or metastatic RCC.
