Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Sayuri Motegi"
- Sayuri Motegi's research focuses on enhancing shared decision-making (SDM) in cancer treatment, particularly for Japanese breast cancer patients, by examining their decision-making preferences and information needs.
- The study developed and validated Japanese versions of the Control Preference Scale (CPS) and Information Needs Questionnaire (INQ) to facilitate better communication and information exchange between patients and healthcare providers.
- Findings emphasize that increased patient involvement in treatment decisions and access to information can lead to greater confidence, satisfaction, and trust in healthcare relationships, indicating a shift in the traditionally asymmetric dynamics in Japan.
