This realist review explores how shared decision-making (SDM) between patients and healthcare providers improves health outcomes. It identifies contextual factors influencing SDM
Area of Science:
- Health Services Research
- Evidence-Based Practice
- Patient-Centered Care
Background:
- Implementing evidence-based practices in healthcare systems faces challenges.
- Shared decision-making (SDM) aims to improve patient and system outcomes by fostering collaboration.
- Gaps exist between SDM theory and real-world implementation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the contextual factors influencing the effectiveness of SDM.
- To understand in which situations, how, why, and for whom SDM contributes to improved decision-making.
Main Methods:
- A realist review protocol will be employed.
- A seven-step iterative process includes theory development, literature search, appraisal, data extraction, and synthesis.
- Stakeholder input from patients, providers, and policymakers will refine the program theory.
Main Results:
- The review aims to identify and refine a program theory for SDM.
- Mechanisms influencing the success or failure of SDM will be identified.
- Understanding contextual influences on SDM effectiveness is the primary goal.
Conclusions:
- This study will advance the understanding of SDM implementation in healthcare.
- Refining SDM program theory can guide effective practice and policy.
- Identifying contextual factors is crucial for successful SDM integration.
