Summary
This study demonstrates that an online training program effectively enhances medical students' knowledge and judgment of Shared Decision Making (SDM). The easily scalable training offers an efficient method for broad healthcare implementation.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Health Professions Education
Background:
- Shared Decision Making (SDM) is the standard for integrating patient preferences, evidence, and professional expertise in healthcare.
- Effective training methods are crucial for widespread SDM implementation in clinical practice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of a novel online training program designed to improve SDM-related knowledge and judgment among medical students.
Main Methods:
- A single-blind randomized-controlled trial was conducted with medical students assigned to an online SDM training intervention or a control group.
- The study compared changes in SDM knowledge and the ability to assess SDM levels between the groups.
- Participant feedback on the training intervention was also collected.
Main Results:
- The intervention group showed significant improvements in SDM knowledge (12% increase) and SDM judgment ability (mean difference: 0.07) compared to the control group (p < 0.001 for both).
- Positive feedback was received regarding the online training program.
Conclusions:
- The developed online training, utilizing a methodology of flawed/flawless video examples, proved effective and efficient for teaching SDM.
- This online approach can be used independently or complementarily with existing face-to-face training, facilitating scalable SDM education.

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...

The randomization process involves assigning study participants randomly to experimental or control groups based on their probability of being equally assigned. Randomization is meant to eliminate selection bias and balance known and unknown confounding factors so that the control group is similar to the treatment group as much as possible. A computer program and a random number generator can be used to assign participants to groups in a way that minimizes bias.

01:25Strategies for Assessing and Addressing Confounding
229
Confounding is a critical issue in epidemiological studies, often leading to misleading conclusions about associations between exposures and outcomes. It occurs when the relationship between the exposure and the outcome is mixed with the effects of other factors that influence the outcome. Given that, addressing confounding is of high importance for drawing accurate inferences in research.

Blinding is a commonly used method of not telling participants which treatment a subject is receiving. Blinding is a critical part of a randomized control trial or RCT. It reduces the bias that affects the results. In an RCT, blinding is used in the form of a placebo. A placebo effect occurs when untreated subjects falsely believe they have received the treatment and report improved symptoms. A placebo or a dummy treatment is administered to subjects to negate the bias caused by such an effect.

01:27Halo Effect

The halo effect is a cognitive bias in which an individual's overall impression influences judgments about their specific traits. This psychological phenomenon leads people to associate positive characteristics with those they perceive as generally good and negative characteristics with those they view as bad. This effect is particularly influential in social perception, professional evaluations, and decision-making processes.The Psychological Basis of the Halo EffectThe halo effect is rooted...

01:20Decision 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.
