Patients and their relatives are often faced with complex health care decisions: Which treatment is best? Which care option fits individual values and life circumstances? The concept of decision coaching was developed to provide support in these challenging situations.

The newly published book Decision Coaching – Supporting Informed Decisions by Nursing Professionals (eds. Anke Steckelberg, Birte Berger-Höger) introduces the concept, presents current scientific evidence, and offers practical insights into implementation.

“Decision coaching helps to reduce decisional conflicts and empowers patients to make informed choices. Nursing professionals play a key role in strengthening health literacy and promoting patient-centered care,” says editor Birte Berger-Höger, Assistant Professor at the University of Bremen, Department of Nursing Evaluation and Implementation Research.

The book addresses nursing professionals, other health care providers, researchers, and educators with an interest in shared decision-making and patient-centered care.
