This study investigated the psychometric properties of the 9-Item Shared Decision-Making Questionnaire (SDM-Q-9) and the 9-Item Shared Decision-Making Questionnaire-Physician version (SDM-Q-Doc) using comprehensive and thorough psychometric methods in an oncology setting. Cancer survivors (n=1783; 928 [52.05%] males) and physicians (n=154; 121[78.58%] males) participated in this study. Each cancer survivor completed the SDM-Q-9. Physicians completed the SDM-Q-Doc for each of their cancer patient. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and Rasch model were used to test the psychometric properties of SDM-Q-9 and SDM-Q-Doc. SDM-Q-9 and SDM-Q-Doc demonstrated unidimensional structure in CFA and Rasch model. In addition, the measurement invariance was supported for both SDM-Q-9 and SDM-QDoc across sex using the multigroup CFA. Rash analysis indicates no differential item functioning(DIF)across sex for all the SDM-Q-9 and SDM-Q-Doc items. SDM-Q-9 and SDM-Q-Doc were moderately correlated (r=0.41; P<0.001). SDM-Q-9 and SDM-Q-Doc are valid instruments to assess shared decision making in the oncology setting.

Patient-physician perception gaps in setting treatment goals and communication including shared decision making: Results from the survey illuminating dialogues and insights in onychomycosis management (IDIOM survey).
J Dermatol

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated patient-physician communication and decision-making in onychomycosis treatment, highlighting issues with treatment goal alignment and shared decision-making practices.
- Findings showed dermatologists often do not prioritize complete cure, inadequately convey treatment risks and benefits, and mistakenly assume older patients resist oral medications; improved communication and patient-focused treatment options are necessary.

Article Synopsis
- Shared decision-making (SDM) in hepatobiliary surgery can enhance patient autonomy and outcomes, but levels of patient involvement still need improvement, especially for those with hepatocellular adenoma (HCA).
- A study assessed SDM through audio-recorded consultations and questionnaires, revealing that HCA patients felt less involved in decision-making compared to those with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA).
- Patients expressed a need for better information and support, indicating that decision support tools (DSTs) could effectively address these gaps in the decision-making process.
Shared decision-making between paediatric haematologists, children with sickle cell disease and their parents: an exploratory study.
Eur J Pediatr

Department of Surgery, Amsterdam University Medical Centers, University of Amsterdam, Meibergdreef 9, 1105 AZ, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Unlabelled: Children with sickle cell disease (SCD) face various healthcare choices to be made during the disease process that may impact their lives. Shared decision-making (SDM) could improve their health outcomes. We assessed if, and to what extent, paediatricians engage children with SCD and/or their parents in the decision-making process.

Dermatology Service, Hospital Ruber Juan Bravo Hospital / Universidad Europea, Madrid, Spain.
Background: Many therapies are available to treat low-risk superficial basal cell carcinoma (lr-sBCC), which may complicate the shared decision-making (SDM) process.
Objective: To assess the SDM process of patients and physicians when deciding lr-sBCC therapy as well as the factors that may influence the SDM process.
Methods: A prospective, multicenter cohort study was conducted over 18 months, from October 2018 to April 2020, in 3 tertiary university hospitals and 1 private hospital.
Background: Shared decision making (SDM) can result in better treatment outcomes. Little is known about the practice of SDM in forensic psychiatry; a context in which not only psychiatric problems are present, but also freedom restrictions and involuntary hospitalisation.
Aim: To explore the current degree of SDM in a forensic psychiatric setting and to identify factors that influence SDM.
