          Abstract

          RESUMEN Fundamentos: La implementación de la Toma de Decisiones Compartidas (TDC) en oncología es escasa. El objetivo del estudio fue determinar el conocimiento de la TDC que tienen los médicos que tratan a pacientes con cáncer, la utilidad que le conceden, el rol que desempeñan, la evaluación que hacen, y las barreras y facilitadores que encuentran para su uso. Métodos: Se realizó una encuesta a oncólogos médicos, oncólogos radioterápicos y cirujanos generales que ejercían en Andalucía (España). Se recogieron variables sociodemográficas, clínico-asistenciales y de aspectos de la TDC. La TDC se evaluó mediante el cuestionario SDM-Q-Doc. Se emplearon contrastes no paramétricos para determinar las posibles diferencias entre especialidades médicas. Resultados: El cuestionario se envió a 351 médicos y la tasa de respuesta fue del 37,04%. Respondieron 63 mujeres y 67 hombres, con un promedio de 45,6 años de edad y 18,04 años de experiencia. El 33,08% eran oncólogos médicos, el 34,61% oncólogos radioterápicos y el 29,23% cirujanos generales. El 82,3% no tenía formación en TDC y el 33,8% reconocía saber bastante y utilizarla en su práctica habitual. El 80% consideró que era muy útil. El 60% respondió que la decisión sobre el tratamiento la tomaban mayormente ellos. Al evaluar la TDC con la escala SDM-Q-Doc, todas las especialidades obtuvieron más de 80 puntos sobre 100. Las principales barreras para aplicar la TDC fueron la dificultad del paciente para entender lo que necesitaba saber, la falta de instrumentos de apoyo, así como la falta de tiempo. Conclusiones: Un 82% de los médicos no tiene formación en TDC y un 66% no la utiliza en su práctica habitual, tomando la decisión sobre el tratamiento mayoritariamente ellos. Es importante adoptar estrategias para aumentar la formación en TDC e implementarla en la práctica clínica diaria.

          ABSTRACT Background: Implementation of Shared Decision Making (SDM) in oncology is limited. The objective of the study was to determine the extent of physicians' awareness of Shared Decision Making (SDM) in their treatment of cancer patients, the usefulness that they assign to SDM, the role they play, their assessment of SDM, and perceptions of the main barriers and facilitators to its use. Methods: A questionnaire was completed by medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and general surgeons working in Andalusia (Spain). Sociodemographic, clinical-care and aspects of SDM variables were collected. SDM was evaluated using the SDM-Q-Doc questionnaire. Non-parametric contrasts were used to determine the possible differences between medical specialties. Results: The questionnaire was sent to 351 physicians. The response rate was 37.04%, 63 women and 67 men, with an average age of 45.6 years and 18.04 years' experience. Of these, 33.08% were medical oncologists, 34.61% radiation oncologists and 29.23% general surgeons. A total of 82.3% stated they had received no training in SDM, whereas 33.8% said they knew a lot about SDM and applied it in practice; 80% considered it to be very useful. In addition, 60% of respondents said they were mainly the ones who made the decisions on treatment. An evaluation of SDM on the SDM-Q-Doc scale showed that all the specialities scored more than 80/100. The main barriers to applying SDM were the difficulty patients experienced in understanding what they needed to know, the lack of decision aids and time. Conclusions: Some 82% of physicians have no training in SDM and 66% don´t use it in practice, with decisions on treatment taken mainly by the physicians themselves. Strategies to increase training in SDM and to implement it into clinical practice are important.

          Implementing and evaluating shared decision making in oncology practice.

          Engaging individuals with cancer in decision making about their treatments has received increased attention; shared decision making (SDM) has become a hallmark of patient-centered care. Although physicians indicate substantial interest in SDM, implementing SDM in cancer care is often complex; high levels of uncertainty may exist, and health care providers must help patients understand the potential risks versus benefits of different treatment options. However, patients who are more engaged in their health care decision making are more likely to experience confidence in and satisfaction with treatment decisions and increased trust in their providers. To implement SDM in oncology practice, physicians and other health care providers need to understand the components of SDM and the approaches to supporting and facilitating this process as part of cancer care. This review summarizes recent information regarding patient and physician factors that influence SDM for cancer care, outcomes resulting from successful SDM, and strategies for implementing SDM in oncology practice. We present a conceptual model illustrating the components of SDM in cancer care and provide recommendations for facilitating SDM in oncology practice.

            Shared Decision Making in Vascular Surgery: An Exploratory Study.

            Shared decision making (SDM) is a process in which patients and their doctors collaborate in choosing a suitable treatment option by incorporating patient values and preferences, as well as the best available evidence. Particularly in vascular surgery, several conditions seem suitable for SDM because there are multiple treatment options. The objective of this study was to assess the degree of SDM behaviour in vascular surgery.
