Tóm tắt : | 25 p. This is a Health Evidence Network (HEN) report on the use of patient decision aids (PtDAs), interventions designed to help patients discuss treatment options with their clinicians and make specific, deliberative choices. They are used as an adjunct to counselling (not a replacement). Most evidence included in this report shows that PtDAs are superior to comparison interventions in improving indicators of decision quality such as knowledge of the facts about options, realistic perceptions of outcome probabilities, and agreement between patients’ values and choice. In addition, patients who used decision aids had lower decisional conflict, participated more actively in decision-making, and were less likely to remain undecided. PtDAs support patients in making evidence-informed choices and may be able to assist policy-makers in setting benchmarks for overuse of grey zone treatments (those treatments that rely upon the patient’s judgement of associated benefits versus harms). HEN, initiated and coordinated by the WHO Regional Office for Europe, is an information service for public health and health care decision-makers in the WHO European Region. Other interested parties might also benefit from HEN. |
