Overcoming Overuse Part 5: Is Shared Decision Making Our Excalibur?
The Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy
|February 1, 2021
Summary
Shared decision making helps patients and clinicians curb overuse in musculoskeletal care. This strategy promotes informed choices, favoring evidence-based treatments and active rehabilitation over unnecessary interventions.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Evidence-Based Practice
- Patient-Centered Care
Background:
- Overuse of non-beneficial treatments is a concern in musculoskeletal care.
- Shared decision making (SDM) is a patient-centered approach recommended for clinical practice.
Discussion:
- SDM facilitates patient identification of priorities and informed decision-making.
- Implementing SDM can reduce the utilization of ineffective treatments and increase adherence to evidence-based care.
- SDM supports clinicians in guiding patients toward active rehabilitation with favorable benefit-harm profiles.
Key Insights:
- Shared decision making is a key strategy for overcoming overuse in musculoskeletal conditions.
- SDM empowers patients to align treatment choices with their values and preferences.
- This approach promotes the use of treatments with a strong evidence base and positive benefit-harm ratio.
Outlook:
- Integrating SDM into clinical workflows can optimize musculoskeletal care delivery.
- Further research can explore SDM's impact on patient outcomes and healthcare costs.
- Promoting SDM may lead to more sustainable and effective management of musculoskeletal disorders.

01:27Coping Strategies: Problem Focused
257
Coping strategies are methods people use to manage, tolerate, or reduce the effects of stressors. These strategies involve both behavioral and psychological actions to handle stressful situations. One common approach is problem-focused coping, which aims to change or eliminate the source of stress rather than merely addressing its consequences. This method involves taking direct action to resolve the issue causing stress.

4.8K
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 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...

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.
Automatic decision-making is fast, intuitive, and relies on gut feelings...

01:25Strategies for Assessing and Addressing Confounding
222
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.
Confounding can be addressed at both the design phase of a study and through analytical methods after data...
