Exploration of shared decision‐making processes among dieticians and patients during a consultation for the nutritional treatment of dyslipidaemia

Abstract

Background Shared decision making (SDM) holds great potential for improving the therapeutic efficiency and quality of nutritional treatment of dyslipidaemia by promoting patient involvement in decision making. Adoption of specific behaviours fostering SDM during consultations has yet to be studied in routine dietetic practice.

Patient‐centred care to improve dietetic practice: an integrative review

“…Participant numbers for all 27 studies ranged from seven to 1158; most ( n = 24) were between nine and 258, with the exception of one larger study ( n = 1158) . The majority of studies ( n = 22) were published between the years 2009 and 2016 . Studies were mostly conducted in Europe ( n = 7) , Canada ( n = 6) , the USA ( n = 6) and Australia ( n = 6) .…”

“…Only four studies explicitly referred to PCC in their aims , four mentioned shared decision‐making and one mentioned the dietitian–patient relationship , both critical components of PCC . Several studies explored aspects of PCC indirectly; for example, by gaining consensus on dietitians’ perceptions of the importance of practice activities , skills and attributes , evaluation methods competence and performance criteria , quality of information available , communication skills and recommendations for overcoming patients’ barriers to dietary adherence in patients with diabetes .…”

“…Studies used a broad range of methodological designs, including qualitative focus group and/or interviews (n = 7) (22,(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36) , descriptive quantitative studies (n = 13) and intervention studies (n = 5). A variety of descriptive quantitative designs were utilised, including Delphi studies (n = 3) (37)(38)(39) , observational studies (n = 2) (23,40) and questionnaires/surveys (n = 5) (41)(42)(43)(44)(45) . Three sequential qualitative-quantitative studies were also included (31,46,47) .…”

Dairy intake-related intentions, attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control of South African nutrition professionals

“…In the past, the theory was repeatedly used in relation to nutrition consultations and diverse dietary behaviours. 23,[26][27][28][29][30][31][32] Numerous groups 19,33,34 specifically studied dairy consumption based on this theory.…”
