More supportive interprofessional working might improve how health professionals involve patients in shared decision‐making.Implications for the Profession and Patient CareIncreased development of nurses' contributions to shared decision‐making about advanced cancer and palliative care could support their facilitation of patient involvement.ImpactAlthough nurses can support people receiving palliative cancer treatment and care in shared decision‐making, nursing's particular role and contribution has been unclear. Study findings suggest that nurses' important person‐centred approach is challenging to maintain in treatment decision‐making. These insights into nurses' involvement in shared decision‐making could inform and contribute to the further development of interprofessional education, training, and leadership.Reporting MethodCOREQ.What Does This Paper Contribute to the Wider Global Clinical Community?Provides in‐depth knowledge on nurses' perceptions of their contributions to shared decision‐making with patients and caregivers.

In stage two, a cross‐sectional survey, informed by the qualitative findings, was conducted among 482 nurses to identify the most relevant and relatively important TDF domains by running generalised linear regression models.ResultsThe qualitative interviews generated 13 TDF domains that were identified as major influencing factors, including technology characteristics, knowledge, attitudes, role agreement, self‐efficacy, goal‐setting, information circulation, and communication among nurses. Quantitative findings showed that 70% of nurses used and printed the written form through the information system, and only 34% offered verbal education consistently. Regression analysis identified nine domains that were relevant and important factors for implementation fidelity, including knowledge, skills, role identity, beliefs in consequences, beliefs in capabilities, intentions, goals, memory and decision processes, and environmental context.ConclusionOur findings confirmed previous evidence on determinants of implementing digital health technologies, including knowledge, competencies, perceived effectiveness, role agreement, intentions, decision processes, and environmental context. Additionally, we highlighted the importance of goal‐setting for successful implementation.ImpactThis study investigated the relatively important associated factors that can impact the successful implementation of the nurse‐led information system for post‐acute care based on nurses' perspectives. These results can guide nurse practitioners in implementing similar initiatives and support evidence‐based decision‐making.

(<span>2025</span>) investigated the perceptions and experiences of individuals with advanced-stage cancer and their family caregivers regarding shared decision-making in palliative care. Five key themes were identified by the researchers through qualitative interviews: (1) treatment options are intrinsically connected to critical life-and-death decisions, underscoring their importance; (2) patients and caregivers expressed varied expectations and preferences regarding their participation in decision-making; (3) uncertainty existed regarding the practicality and scope of shared decision-making, affected by emotional challenges and systemic obstacles; (4) access to high-quality information and effective communication was considered vital for meaningful engagement and (5) the role of nurses in the decision-making process was not clearly delineated. The findings highlight the critical necessity for enhanced, inclusive communication strategies within palliative care. We present various viewpoints on ensuring the provision of high-quality information and communication for individuals facing advanced cancer.</p>\u0000<p>Initially, healthcare professionals must evaluate the informational requirements, cognitive abilities and preferences of each patient regarding their participation in decision-making. Tailoring discussions to these particular factors enhances engagement and helps patients and caregivers navigate complex medical information. Open, honest and compassionate conversations about prognosis, treatment options and expected outcomes are essential for building trust and facilitating informed choices. Structured and coherent conversations that involve both patients and their family caregivers promote shared understanding, reduce ambiguity and improve collaborative decision-making. Moreover, collaboration across various disciplines is crucial; engaging nurses, social workers, and palliative care specialists fosters a holistic approach and ensures that communication remains consistent within the care team. It is essential for clinicians to record patients' values, goals and care preferences, integrating these elements into treatment planning to guarantee alignment with individual priorities. This model of communication focused on the patient is essential for providing exceptional palliative care and improving the overall care experience.</p>\u0000<p>Second, nurses are essential in facilitating effective information exchange and communication for patients with advanced cancer. They possess a distinctive ability to evaluate patients' understanding of medical information, elucidate intricate concepts and address both emotional and informational requirements, owing to their ongoing presence and strong therapeutic relationships with patients and families. Through consistent engagement at the bedside, nurses are able to identify potential issues early and relay them swiftly to the multidisciplinary team, thus promoting timely and coordinated care.
