Abstract
Background
Shared decision-making (SDM) is crucial in pediatric care, but its implementation poses unique challenges. Training health care professionals in pediatric SDM is essential, yet little is known about the current state of these training programs.
Objective
Review existing pediatric-specific SDM training programs to understand the current state of training and identify areas for improvement.
Data Sources
Medline, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Education Research Complete, and LILACS.
Eligibility Criteria
We included original research publications in English, Spanish, and German that focused on SDM training involving pediatric health care professionals or evaluated SDM training within pediatric settings.
Data Extraction
We used a custom Covidence template to extract data on publication year, author, SDM focus, participants, curriculum design, teaching strategies, evaluated outcomes, and how the curriculum incorporated children's participation.
Results
Nineteen studies met the inclusion criteria. Most programs were from North America and published after 2018. Training approaches varied widely, with many focusing on specific clinical contexts. Only 2 curricula explicitly considered children as participants in the SDM process. Evaluation methods and outcomes varied across Kirkpatrick levels, with most programs reporting positive results in participant satisfaction, skill improvement, and patient outcomes.
Limitations
Only papers in English, Spanish, and German were included in the search.
Conclusions
While progress has been made in developing pediatric SDM training programs, there is a need for more consistency in content and evaluation methods. Future pediatric SDM training programs should prepare health care professionals with the skills necessary to involve children in the SDM process when appropriate.
期刊介绍:
Academic Pediatrics, the official journal of the Academic Pediatric Association, is a peer-reviewed publication whose purpose is to strengthen the research and educational base of academic general pediatrics. The journal provides leadership in pediatric education, research, patient care and advocacy. Content areas include pediatric education, emergency medicine, injury, abuse, behavioral pediatrics, holistic medicine, child health services and health policy,and the environment. The journal provides an active forum for the presentation of pediatric educational research in diverse settings, involving medical students, residents, fellows, and practicing professionals. The journal also emphasizes important research relating to the quality of child health care, health care policy, and the organization of child health services. It also includes systematic reviews of primary care interventions and important methodologic papers to aid research in child health and education.
