Background: Shared decision making is an emerging approach through which physicians and patients can reach health care decisions based on mutual agreement. Scientific physician-patient shared decision making can facilitate selection of optimized treatments, improvement in curative effects, postoperative prognosis, and short-term and long-term rehabilitation in patients with coronary heart disease. However, there have been no studies on Chinese physicians' and patients' attitude to shared decision making.
Methods/Design: This is a multicenter, large sample, cross-sectional, open-label, clinical survey. Participants are 1,000 Chinese patients with coronary heart disease and 200 medical staff members of both sexes over 18 years old. The primary survey index is the satisfaction of medical staff members and coronary heart disease patients with shared decision making. The secondary survey indices include staff and patient satisfaction with a clinical decision-making aid, patients' awareness of disease risk and curative benefits, and physician-patient trust.
Discussion: This study is the first to investigate the attitude of Chinese medical staff members and coronary heart disease patients to clinical shared decision making and to examine the feasibility of using this approach. This study provides an evidence-based foundation for investigating the problems and solutions of clinical shared decision making and strengthening the adherence to statin medication in patients with coronary heart disease.
Trial registration: This study protocol was registered at Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (registration number: ChiCTR-OCS-14004646).
Ethics: This study protocol has been approved by Ethics Committee, The First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University (approval number: LCKY2014-14) and will be performed in strict accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki, formulated by the World Medical Association.
Informed consent: Signed informed consent will be obtained from each included subject. |
