Article Synopsis
- Shared decision-making (SDM) involves incorporating patients' values and preferences in clinical decisions and may be useful for treating opioid use disorder (OUD), but its effectiveness is not well established.
- A scoping review analyzed 14 peer-reviewed studies, focusing on how adult patients with OUD engage in their treatment decisions, but none used validated measures for SDM.
- Though some studies indicated potential benefits of SDM in improving patient outcomes, further research is needed to fully understand its impact and effectiveness in OUD treatment.*
Background: Mapped the sources and types of evidence available on psychosocial interventions in the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD), with and without pharmacotherapies.
Methods: Six electronic databases were searched for research published until July 1, 2019. Included studies were coded on publication characteristics, evidence sources, treatment settings and modalities, study populations and patient characteristics, intervention(s) offered to patients, research questions addressed in experimental studies, and outcomes investigated.
Introduction: Opioid use disorder (OUD) is characterised by the fifth Edition of the Diagnostic and Statistics Manual as a problematic pattern of opioid use (eg, fentanyl, heroin, oxycodone) that leads to clinically significant impairment. OUD diagnoses have risen substantially over the last decade, and treatment services have struggled to meet the demand. Evidence suggests when patients with chronic illnesses are matched with their treatment preferences and engaged in shared decision-making (SDM), health outcomes may improve.
