This study explored clinician perceptions of women's participation in decision-making about antiemetic treatments during pregnancy, and the suitability of the five Choosing Wisely questions to increase women's involvement. The qualitative interpretive descriptive design used semi-structured interviews to capture data. Participants were six obstetricians and six midwives experienced in providing care for pregnant women seeking support for nausea and vomiting at a single private, obstetrician-led maternity health service in Australia. Thematic analysis revealed four themes that captured clinician perspectives about women's participation in decision-making about antiemetic treatments: (i) information gathering; (ii) developing an understanding;(iii) using knowledge; and (iv) making decisions. Clinician attitudes and perspectives, as well as their self-reported styles of communication and negotiation, influenced how they engaged with women during decision-making. While unfamiliar with the five Choosing Wisely questions, almost all participants considered them potentially useful, but for other clinicians. Strategies to actively involve women in decisionmaking about antiemetics were inconsistently used. The five Choosing Wisely questions may provide a useful tool for clinicians, but further research is needed to better understand women's perspectives and clinician-related barriers to shared decisionmaking.
