英文摘要 |
The quality of medical decision-making affects both quality of medical care and welfare of patients. Paternalistic, informed and shared decision-making models are three of the most adopted medical decision-making models. Among them, the shared decisionmaking model can best reflect the essence of patient-centered care. We first made a general description of paternalistic and informed decision-making. Then detailed descriptions of the definition, applications in clinical trials and obstacles of the shared decision-making were presented. In addition to the definition of Charles C and et al., we added that patients, as doctors, can present medical care options during the stage of information exchange while participating in shared decision-making. The purpose of this study is to promote the application of shared decision-making, improve the quality of medical care, benefit patients’ overall medical experience and highlight the importance of patient-centered care. |
