Article Synopsis
- The study examined patient experiences of shared decision making (SDM) in public acute hospitals in Ireland, analyzing data from three years of the Irish National Inpatient Experience Survey.
- A total of 39,453 patients participated, revealing an average SDM experience score, with higher ratings for treatments and lower for discharge processes; older patients and men reported more positive experiences.
- The findings suggest a need for better facilitation of SDM, especially at discharge, by allowing more time for discussions between healthcare providers, patients, and their families.
