Decision Making01:20

Decision Making

Decision-making is a fundamental cognitive process that involves evaluating alternatives and selecting among them. This process can range from simple choices, such as deciding what to wear, to complex decisions, like choosing a major in college or a career path. The complexity of the decision often dictates the approach we use, which can be broadly categorized into two types: automatic and controlled decision-making.
Automatic decision-making is fast, intuitive, and relies on gut feelings...
Decision Making: Traditional Method01:14

Decision Making: Traditional Method

The process of hypothesis testing based on the traditional method includes calculating the critical value, testing the value of the test statistic using the sample data, and interpreting these values.
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is decided based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to this claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses, out of which a null hypothesis would be a...
Decision Making: P-value Method01:09

Decision Making: P-value Method

The process of hypothesis testing based on the P-value method includes calculating the P- value using the sample data and interpreting it.
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim  is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses:  a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can have a...
Reason and Intuition01:37

Reason and Intuition

The human brain processes information for decision-making using one of two routes: an intuitive system and a rational system (Epstein, 1994; popularized by Kahneman, 2011 as System 1 and System 2, respectively). The intuitive system is quick, impulsive, and operates with minimal effort, relying on emotions or habits to provide cues for what to do next, while the rational system is logical, analytical, deliberate, and methodical. Research in neuropsychology suggests that the brain can only use...
Ethical Dilemmas II01:30

Ethical Dilemmas II

Resolving an ethical dilemma in healthcare involves a systematic approach that considers every aspect of the issue, respecting both the patient's needs and values and the healthcare professional's ethical obligations. Here are potential steps to resolve an ethical dilemma:
Persuasion Strategies01:52

Persuasion Strategies

Researchers have tested many persuasion strategies, including the foot-in-the door and the door-in-the-face techniques, in a variety of contexts. Ultimately, the principles are effective in selling products and changing people’s attitude, ideas, and behaviors (Cialdini & Goldstein, 2004).

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Quality and Safety
  • Patient-Centered Care
  • Health Communication

Background:

  • Shared decision-making is central to patient-centered care and improving healthcare quality.
  • Despite its importance, shared decision-making is infrequently implemented in clinical practice.
  • Barriers include a lack of integration into healthcare professional attitudes and communication skills training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the critical role of shared decision-making in healthcare.
  • To identify reasons for the limited implementation of shared decision-making.
  • To propose strategies for enhancing shared decision-making in healthcare settings.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on shared decision-making in healthcare.
  • Analysis of barriers to its implementation.
  • Identification of enabling factors and tools.

Main Results:

  • Shared decision-making is essential for quality and safety but faces significant implementation challenges.
  • Current healthcare professional training does not adequately address shared decision-making skills.
  • Information tools and policy changes are crucial for promoting patient involvement.

Conclusions:

  • Enhancing shared decision-making requires a multi-faceted approach.
  • Integrating shared decision-making into professional education is necessary.
  • Leveraging patient decision aids, personal health records, and policy initiatives can drive adoption.
