Abstract

Shared decision-making (SDM) arises in contexts where patients and health professionals must make decisions about screening tests or treatments without a single or “best” option. Decision Aids (DAs) are created to facilitate the SDM process. They are interventions designed to help people participate in decision making between various screening tests and therapeutic options, providing information about options and patient’s health outcome status. Using Das increases patients’ knowledge regarding their health status, decreases decisional conflict, reduces the proportion of people who were passive in decision-making and reduces the proportion of people who remained undecided post-intervention. Nevertheless, despite the apparent positive effects of DAs in many health care specialties, including oncology, a standard use has not been yet reached. Therefore, it is essential to explore desired level involvement of patients and health professionals in SDM process, and identify potential barriers and facilitators influencing implementation of Das in our context.
