Article Synopsis
- Understanding patient perspectives on shared decision-making is vital for effective, patient-centered surgical care, particularly for vulnerable populations with conditions like gallstones.
- A mixed methods study revealed a significant gap between patient perceptions as measured by questionnaires and their actual experiences during consultations, with 83% reporting shared decision-making via the questionnaire compared to only 27% in interviews.
- Factors contributing to this discrepancy included patients' lack of familiarity with shared decision-making, deference to their surgeons, insufficient discussion of treatment options, and confusion regarding decision-making dynamics.
