[Application of Shared Decision Making on Birth Choice in a Primigravida Woman With Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia]

Shared decision making was used by a primipara with congenital adrenal hyperplasia to make decisions related to her delivery plans and process. The four components of the holistic nursing assessment process (physical, mental, social and spiritual) were conducted by the author from January 9th, 2018 to April 8th, 2018. The major concerns of the subject were anxiety and conflicts related to medical decision making for her health problems. The Case-Centered Care Model and Patient Decision Aids were applied in medical discussions conducted during the period of nursing care. The subject was encouraged to express her feelings during the process. The completed information for the delivery process, including the risks and benefits for the disease, was provided to the subject in order to lower her anxiety, assist her to select the most-appropriate plan for delivery, and ensure high quality, secure nursing care. Using Patient Decision Aids in clinical practice to help pregnant women make the best decisions for their delivery plans is recommended in cases where the patient has congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
