View clinical trials related to Shared Decision Making.
Filter by:What is this trial ? A major aim in surgery is to consent patients appropriately for procedures. This is known as shared decision making. It is the clinician's duty to provide patients with the information they need to weigh up the risks and benefits of surgery and come to an informed decision. The investigators have created a patient information course on bariatric surgery on a platform known as a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC). This platform will host the course and will involve videos, written material and a number of questions to test the patient's understanding. The course will be undertaken after patients have completed Tier 3 and been discussed at the Tier 4 MDT (multidisciplinary team) and before the first consultant appointment to discuss surgical options. If patients choose to participate, they will be randomly allocated to either undertake the patient information course or not to undertake the course and just undergo the standard consenting process. The actual timeline of the bariatric journey will be unaffected by participation in the trial. The consultant will not know of patient participation and patients will be asked not to disclose it. What is involved? The patients will have been invited by one of the researchers, via a telephone call, and they will have sent the patient information for them to read. Their appointments and schedule will remain the same in spite of participation. If they choose to take part and are randomly allocated to the MOOC group, a member of research team will issue them with details of how to access the course. Three to six weeks later the research team will contact them to test their recall over the phone of some important information about bariatric surgery. At six week's after the procedure, the research team will send a copy of the SDM Q9 (shared decision making Q9) questionnaire to complete and send back. This is a questionnaire that asks about satisfaction with the shared decision making process. If a patient is randomly allocated to the non MOOC group, they will also receive a recall test and a questionnaire after the consultant appointment in order to compare the two groups. What is the purpose of the trial? The purpose of this study is to find out if using a patient information course on a massive open online course platform (MOOC) is useful to help the consent process by testing patient recall and also to test satisfaction with the shared decision making process compared to what current practice is.
The SHARE Approach Evaluation study was meant to evaluate the SHARE Approach, designed by AHRQ and UCD. The SHARE Approach is a training program for clinicians on shared decision making.
Management of unexpected malignant colorectal polyps removed endoscopically can be challenging due to the risk of residual tumor and lymphatic spread. International studies have shown that in patients choosing surgical management instead of watchful waiting, 54-82% of bowel resections are without evidence of residual tumor or lymphatic spread. As surgical management entails risks of complications and watchful waiting management entails risks of residual disease or recurrence, a clinical dilemma arises when choosing a management strategy. Shared decision making (SDM) is a concept that can be used in preference sensitive decision making to facilitate patient involvement, empowerment, and active participation in the decision making process. This is a clinical multicenter, non-randomized, interventional phase II study involving Danish surgical departments planned to commence in the first quarter of 2024. The aim of the study is to examine whether shared decision making and using a patient decision aid (PtDA) in consultations affects patients' choice of management compared with historical data. The secondary aim is to investigate Patient Reported Experience Measures (PREMs) and Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) using questionnaire feedback directly from the patients.
Advancements in prenatal genetic screening have significantly improved the identification of chromosomal abnormalities and heritable conditions during pregnancy, yet current standards for patient education in this domain are largely ineffective. The most effective approach to education about prenatal screening is one-on-one genetic counseling, but due to the limited number of counselors this is not feasible, especially in rural and frontier areas. The investigators will address this national problem using a novel education game that can more effectively address this gap in healthcare decision-making.
An interactive web-based decision aid for shared decision making: birth choice after cesarean in Taiwan Background: Taiwan has a high national caesarean rate coupled with a low vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC) rate. Studies suggest that pregnant women do not receive sufficient information about birth choices after caesarean in Taiwan and shared decision making (SDM) is not an expectation. Chen conducted a pilot study. Improvements in knowledge for the decision aid group were larger than for the usual care group, although differences between groups were not statistically significant. An interactive multimedia technology and humanity communication may provide opportunities to increase engagement and support women during decision consultations. Following previous pilot study, the study aims to examine the effectiveness of an interactive web-based birth decision aid for SDM in pregnant women who have had a previous cesarean. Methods: A quantitative approach will be conducted with a randomized pre-test and post-test experimental design in a medical center in northern Taiwan. Participants who have had one previous CS will be recruited at 14-16 weeks. A total of 172 women will be completed a baseline survey and will be randomly allocated to either the intervention (usual care plus an interactive web-based birth decision aid ) or usual care (general maternal health booklet) group. A follow up survey at 35-38 weeks measured change in decisional conflict, knowledge, birth preference and decision aid acceptability. Actual birth outcomes and satisfaction will be assessed one month after birth. Contributions/ Implementation of clinical practice The study will potentially increase women and obstetricians to support VBAC and SDM. The interactive decision aid tool may reduce time-consumption for health education. Linking web-based data analysis of AI into medical record can be beneficial for clinical practice and research in the future.

GET PrEPD-Psychiatry is a mixed-methods, developmental study to adapt a shared decision making (SDM) intervention to be specific for psychiatry decisions (Aim 1, previously completed), evaluate its feasibility and acceptability (Aim 2), and examine potential mechanisms of change and preliminary outcomes (Aim 3) of this innovative intervention to increase SDM and self-management for adults with serious mental illness (SMI). In line with National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) priorities, we are examining whether GET PrEPD-Psychiatry engages the target mechanisms that putatively underlie the intervention (i.e., patient activation and communication self-efficacy; Aim 3). Aim 1 used approximately 200 deidentified transcripts from our prior study of SDM in psychiatry to cull language used in decision-making. These conversations were then used to program the Virtual Provider to represent common interactions and decisions in psychiatric visits. Iterative testing of the use of the Virtual Provider has been completed and feedback was obtained from our psychiatry consultants to refine the program. For Aim 2, we will recruit up to 40 patients to participate in GET PrEPD-Psychiatry (4 weekly goal setting/coaching sessions, coupled with Virtual Provider training and practice). We will assess participant satisfaction and utility ratings, as well as track their use (frequency and time-on-task) of the Virtual Provider program. For Aim 3, we will follow enrolled patient participants, interviewing them at baseline and approximately 3 months later. We hypothesize that participants will have significantly 1) improved mechanisms of change, demonstrated by increases in self-reported activation and communication self-efficacy, 2) improved SDM, and 3) improved self-management and recovery attitudes. The Narrative Evaluation of Intervention Interview (NEII), completed at approximately 3 months, will be used as a qualitative interview guide to understand the acceptability and impact of the intervention.
Ureteral stone is a common disease with high prevalence and recurrence rate in Taiwan. Taiwan is located in subtropical zone, where urolithiasis is commonly seen. A national survey in Taiwan determined that 9.6% of the population suffered stones throughout their lifetime. Symptoms of ureteral stone include renal colic, hematuria, and urinary tract infection. Without proper treatment, ureteral stone could lead to renal function impairment such as acute kidney injury (AKI) or chronic kidney disease (CKD). There are several treatment options for ureteral stone, such as ureteroscopic lithotripsy (URSL), flexible urteroscopic lithotripsy (F-URSL), percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), and Medical expulsive therapy (MET). However, there are only few minutes from diagnosis of ureteral stone to possible treatment options explanation. It's difficult for patients to well understand all the details of possible treatments under such circumstances. Therefore, we design a patient decision aid (PDA) for unilateral ureteral stone to help patients understand all the treatment options. The PDA is standardized, written in plain language and patient-centered, with pictures attached.
Recent recommendations to return children's results for adult-onset conditions to parents anytime whole exome or genome sequencing is performed, as well as growing expectations to return research results to participants on a large-scale basis, mean adolescents will increasingly be engaged in assenting (<age 18) and consenting (>age 18) to return of genomic research results. There is an urgent need to understand adolescents' informational preferences and to create ethically informed, scalable processes that empower adolescents from diverse backgrounds to participate in the decision-making process about learning genomic results. This research will provide important insights into adolescents' choices, as well as the ethical, legal and societal implications of engaging adolescents in making choices about learning genomic results in genomic research and community-based research settings.
Background: Breast cancer rehabilitation has gradually expanded from post-surgery rehabilitation to continuous rehabilitation including prehabilitation between cancer diagnosis and surgical treatment, post-surgery rehabilitation, and return-to-work/return-home interventions. Continuous rehabilitation provides patients with tailored training at each treatment period, in order to maintain patients' functions or accelerate the recovery of functions, reduce the burden of symptoms, and improve patients' independence and quality of life. As the functional rehabilitation needs and lifestyle adjustment needs of each patient's life role are different, only with an interprofessional rehabilitation team, patients can obtain patient-centered and comprehensive rehabilitation interventions. Interprofessional shared decision making (IP-SDM) is an decision-making process that interprofessional team and patients discussion the treatment options, based on the best evidence and patient values and preferences, to make a patient-centered treatment decision. However, the major barriers of the implementation of IP-SDM are the lack of IP-SDM skills of clinicians and the lack of medical knowledge of patients. Purposes: The project aims (1) to develop a patient-centered continuous and interdisciplinary shared decision making approach for breast cancer rehabilitation, including IP-SDM training for interprofessional rehabilitation team, as well as decision coaching, patient decision aid and question prompt list for patients; and (2) to examine the effects of IP-SDM approach on the IP-SDM self-efficacy of interprofessional rehabilitation team and patients, quality of IP-SDM process, patients' satisfaction with decision, concordance between preferences and the chosen options, patients' upper limb function and health-related quality of life.
