Abstract
Objective
We aim to provide an updated literature overview on patient-reported barriers and facilitators to participation in SDM across different patient groups and healthcare settings to uncover the ‘common ground’ and to reach for a more generalizable, uniform and inclusive insight in patients’ perspective on participation in SDM.
Methodology
We conducted a qualitative meta-summary, using five databases. Search terms were based on the concepts: ‘decision-making’, ‘patient participation’, ‘patient perceptions’ and ‘study design’ (of patient reporting).
Results
We found 9265 unique references, selected 209 studies for further sampling and finally withheld 90 studies for further analysis in this review. In total, we identified 34 different barriers and facilitators. Based on most frequently reported barriers and facilitators, we defined four broad analytical themes corresponding to patients’ shared expectations concerning doctors’, patients’ and others’ facilitative roles in SDM: (1) ‘Doctors explaining well’, (2) ‘Doctors listening well, and fostering a trusting relationship’, (3) ‘Patients being assertive, (4) ‘Patients being socially supported’.
Conclusion
The majority of barriers and facilitators we found transcended differences in patient characteristics or healthcare setting, suggesting that patients are, overall, facing shared challenges and opportunities in SDM, that are mostly generalizable and irrespective of variabilities in decisional setting or patient group. We uncovered new trends such as patients’ growing openness to assertiveness and the involvement of significant others, and highlighted some culture-based nuances, compared to earlier literature.
Practice Implications
These new insights need to be integrated in SDM strategies so that they may serve the ethical imperative of a greater equality and inclusion of diverse patient groups in different SDM settings.
