Purpose: This research was conducted to explore the mediating effect of perceived social support and health literacy on the relationship between decisional dilemmas and participation in shared decision-making among Chinese parents of premature infants.
Design And Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited 225 Chinese parents of premature infants in a neonatal ward of a Chinese hospital through convenience sampling. Data were collected from August 2022 to February 2023 using 5 self-administered instruments. Structural equation modeling and multiple mediation tests were applied to explore the interplay among perceived social support, health literacy, decisional dilemmas, and participation in shared decision-making. The study is reported in accordance with the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines.
Results: Decisional dilemmas were found to negatively impact participation in shared decision-making. Perceived social support and health literacy were identified as partial mediators in this relationship, collectively accounting for a mediation effect of -0.413, which represents 50.0% of the total effect.
Conclusion: The findings elucidate a multifaceted model of factors influencing participation in shared decision-making among Chinese parents of premature infants. Prompt recognition of these variables can enable nursing professionals to incorporate tailored management strategies within patient-centered care frameworks, thereby enhancing decisional outcomes.

Those who receive universally available health care in the military are not immune from these disparities. Practicing cultural humility has been proposed as a tool for advancing equity through improved understanding of cultural factors that may impact a patient's healthcare.
