Strategies for implementing shared decision making in elective surgery by health care practitioners: A systematic review

Abstract

Rationale, Aims and Objectives To summarize relevant international scientific evidence on strategies aimed at facilitating or improving health care practitioners' adoption of shared decision making in elective surgery. The review evaluated the effectiveness of these strategies and described the characteristics of identified strategies. Method A systematic search of the literature was conducted up to March 2019. The review included interventions that targeted patients, health care practitioners, or health systems/organizations. Main outcomes were measures of decision process and decision outcomes. Two independent reviewers conducted study selection, assessed methodological quality and extracted data. Results Fifteen randomized controlled trials, one pseudo‐randomized controlled trial, and four quasi‐experimental studies were included in this review. The heterogeneity of interventions and the variability of outcomes used to measure the impact of these interventions precluded meta‐analysis. All of the interventions included an educational component regarding the medical condition of interest and available treatment options and a supportive component to encourage patients to ask questions and involve themselves in the decision making. Published evidence on shared decision‐making interventions in elective surgery is most prevalent in the breast cancer/endocrine and urology specialties, with most studies targeting their shared decision‐making interventions at the patient population. The use of multiple media components within an intervention including interactive video appeared to improve patient satisfaction with the shared decision‐making process. Conclusions The use of well‐developed educational information provided through interactive multimedia, computer or DVD based, may enhance the decision‐making process. The evidence suggests that such multimedia can be used prior to the surgical consultation, presenting medical and surgical information relevant to the upcoming consultation. A decision and communication aid also appears to be an effective method to support the surgeon in patient participation and involvement in the decision‐making process.

Conducting proportional meta-analysis in different types of systematic reviews: a guide for synthesisers of evidence

“…Benefits from these types of analyses include support of decision aids and shared decision making to enable the patient to know what they can expect following surgery [ 28 ]. For example, the same review as discussed above identified a 5.7% chance of deep surgical site infection following revision hip replacement surgery, as shown in Fig.…”

Design and Implementation of Human-Computer Interface for Participatory Art Video Development Platform Based on Interactive Non-linear Algorithm

“…Although the performance media (i.e., photos, texts, and videos) of the Internet platform are different, the forms of performance are almost the same (Jennifer et al, 2020;Yuan et al, 2020). Participants can interact with the works by means of reviewers, bullet-screen comments, and favoriting, while with some artistic interactions (Hearn and Hearn, 2020;Vinken and Upadhye, 2020;Clarabelle et al, 2021). There are also art activities taking online and offline interactions simultaneously with specific processes, using the Internet for publicity while holding offline activities.…”

Scaling-up Shared Decision Making in Multidisciplinary Osteoarthritis Care Teams: A Qualitative Study Using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research With Three Demonstration Sites

“…They have highlighted the importance of embedding SDM within the clinical work ow, importance of staff understanding the purpose and effect of SDM strategies, the need for clinical champions, a team-based organisational culture and positive social and implementation supports. [10,11] An analysis of SDM in aged care also highlighted capacity and organisational readiness as important. [12] However, very few studies have used a theoretical foundation to drive the process of implementing SDM in clinical practice, [13] despite theory being important for overcoming implementation barriers and providing structure for evaluation.…”
