Insights

Shared decision making (SDM) is crucial in pediatric dermatology but underutilized. This review offers practical guidance for implementing SDM and highlights key areas for future research in child dermatology care.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Dermatology
  • Patient-Centered Care
  • Health Outcomes Research

Background:

  • Shared decision making (SDM) is integral to patient-centered care, yet its application in pediatric dermatology is limited.
  • Both children and their guardians express a desire for SDM in clinical settings.
  • Current research on SDM and specific decision aids for pediatric dermatology is scarce.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide practical examples of implementing SDM in pediatric dermatology.
  • To identify future research directions for SDM in pediatric dermatology.
  • To encourage the adoption of SDM in pediatric dermatology practice.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing SDM practices and research in pediatric dermatology.
  • Analysis of patient and clinician perspectives on SDM.
  • Identification of barriers and facilitators to SDM implementation.

Main Results:

  • SDM is underutilized and under-researched in pediatric dermatology.
  • Practical strategies for integrating SDM into medical and surgical pediatric dermatology consultations were identified.
  • Opportunities for SDM in preparing pediatric patients for transition to adult care were highlighted.

Conclusions:

  • Implementing SDM in pediatric dermatology is feasible and beneficial for patient-centered care.
  • Further research is needed to develop and evaluate SDM tools and interventions specific to pediatric dermatology.
  • Addressing the underuse of SDM can improve patient engagement and outcomes in pediatric dermatology.

Ethical Dilemmas I

Ethical dilemmas in nursing are of utmost importance, as they often arise from the tension between adhering to core ethical principles and the practical realities of healthcare delivery. These dilemmas require nurses to navigate complex situations where competing ethical considerations pull them in different directions.
Let us explore some examples to understand the potentially complex moral decisions nurses face.
Take the case of caring for minors, particularly in areas related to reproductive...

Modeling in Therapy01:26

Modeling in Therapy

Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.

Participant modeling involves therapists demonstrating calm and effective behaviors in...

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Drug Metabolism

In pediatric care, understanding the nuances of hepatic drug metabolism is crucial, as it significantly differs from that of adults. This divergence is primarily due to the developmental stage of drug-metabolizing enzymes, which affects how medications are processed in the body. In neonates, for instance, the activity of Phase I enzymes—critical for the initial breakdown of drugs—is markedly reduced, functioning at just 20–40% of the levels seen in adults. This reduction poses...

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...
