Project Details

Background

Decision coaching is a non-directive approach delivered by trained health professionals to support patients to prepare for making health decisions. It is used to facilitate patients’ involvement in informed values-based decision-making and use of evidence-based health information.

Project Goals

We aim to conduct a systematic review to identify and synthesise the determinants of practice for providing decision coaching to facilitate patient involvement in decision-making from multiple perspectives that influence its use.

Methods

We will conduct a mixed-methods systematic review in a co-creation approach. Studies included are quantitative, qualitative and mixed-methods studies reporting determinants of practice influencing decision coaching with or without evidence-based patient information / patient decision aids with adults making a health decision for themselves or a family member.

Expected outcomes

The study will provide insights to improve the use of decision coaching in clinical practice by systematically investigating its determinants of practice.
