Introduction National guidelines and The Patient Act from 2014 call for an active role for the patient in the decision making process. The role of the doctor is not only to give advice and to prescribe treatments, but also to present different alternatives with pros and cons. The method of Shared Decision Making (SDM) is meant to improve patient participation in line with ethical guidelines and legal demands. In summary, SDM consists of three steps: 1. To introduce a choice. 2. To discuss the options. 3. To make a shared decision. Systematic studies on SDM show patients becoming better informed and less uncertain regarding decisions made, and decisions closer to clinical guidelines compared to treatment as usual (TAU). It is still unresolved if SDM leads to improved clinical outcomes. Aim The aim of the study is to investigate outcomes of SDM carried out in psychiatric inpatient care: the patients' perceived participation (primary outcome) and health related outcomes (secondary). Method The decision situation in focus for this project is the planning of hospital discharge and future outpatient care. The participants are randomized to either SDM or TAU. Patient participation will be measured by questionnaires, interviews with patients and recorded decision talks. Clinical outcomes will be measured 12 months after discharge. Preliminary results A pilot study conducted in 2017-2018 clarified the feasibility of instruments and the intervention, and gave data for power estimation.
