Healthcare professionals’ views on shared decision-making in plastic surgery in the Netherlands
Background: In shared decision-making (SDM), patients and healthcare professionals (HCPs) reach a joint clinical decision based on the best available evidence and the patient's preferences. SDM seems particularly valuable in plastic surgery, as often multiple treatment options are available. This cross-sectional online survey study aimed to assess HCPs’ views and knowledge about SDM, identify facilitators and barriers of SDM, and determine specific requirements for SDM within plastic surgery. Methods: Participants were HCPs working in plastic surgery in the Netherlands. Participant characteris... Mehr ...

Background: In shared decision-making (SDM), patients and healthcare professionals (HCPs) reach a joint clinical decision based on the best available evidence and the patient's preferences. SDM seems particularly valuable in plastic surgery, as often multiple treatment options are available. This cross-sectional online survey study aimed to assess HCPs’ views and knowledge about SDM, identify facilitators and barriers of SDM, and determine specific requirements for SDM within plastic surgery. Methods: Participants were HCPs working in plastic surgery in the Netherlands. Participant characteristics, SDM knowledge, perceived facilitators and barriers, and requirements were assessed using a custom-made online survey. Two researchers thematically analyzed qualitative data. Results: We received 124 responses (with a response rate of 23%). Most respondents were attending plastic surgeons (79%), and 60% had more than 10 years of experience. Almost all respondents considered SDM important (91%), and most (78%) indicated that they applied SDM during consultations. However, only 15% of the HCPs showed a comprehensive understanding of the principle of SDM. Sufficient time, available sources of information (on treatment options and SDM), and decision support tools were identified as important requirements for SDM. Conclusions: Despite the positive attitudes toward SDM, there is a clear need for SDM training of HCPs, uniform sources of information and guidelines, and improved awareness and availability of decision support tools. National plastic surgery societies can play a crucial role in improving SDM-related knowledge, the availability of information and decision support tools, and the implementation of SDM in the field of plastic surgery.
