摘要

Introduction Shared decision making (SDM) is widely affirmed as an ethical principle in healthcare; underpinned by both evidence of its positive outcomes among patients and strong inducements for its adoption by health professionals. This study investigated patients' involvement in SDM, determined its association with their personal characteristics and identified factors influencing their participation. Method A cross-sectional survey was executed among 148 consenting patients, who were recruited using convenience sampling technique and invited to complete self-report questionnaires on SDM. Data were analyzed via descriptive and inferential statistics. Results Only 14 patients (9.5) were involved in SDM whilst most patients (88.5) had passive roles during consultation. SDM involvement had significant associations with age (p = .006) and educational status (p = .021). Most patients (67.6) identified 'Doubt towards SDM,' as a factor that could hinder this collaborative process. Similarly, majority of the patients acknowledged the relevance of the influential factors: 'Physiotherapist's support' (83.7) and 'Adequate health Information' (75), toward promoting involvement in SDM. Conclusion Patient involvement in SDM was low in this study. Older and less/uneducated patients exhibited an increased tendency of noninvolvement. Key influential factors that either facilitate or hinder patients' involvement in SDM were revealed. There is a need to curtail drawbacks to SDM and promote its execution in physical therapy as well as general clinical practice.
