| description | Introduction: Shared decision making is an essential component of a patient-centered healthcare system. Several studies have evaluated patients’ perception of shared decision making; however, studies reporting physicians’ perception of the shared decision-making process are lacking. The objective of this study was to assess physicians’ perspectives on shared decision making with their patients in a tertiary care hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study, in which we adopted the nine-item physician version of the shared decision-making questionnaire (SDM-Q-Doc) to assess physicians’ perception of shared decision making. The questionnaire was distributed online and in hard copy form randomly to our institution's physicians. Results: We collected a total of 125 responses from various specialties. Means and percentage of agreement were tested, with the highest percentage of agreement ranging from 88% to 96.8%. There were significant differences between the groups regarding age and medical degree. There were no significant differences noted for sex or department. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that most physicians at our institution have a positive attitude toward the process of sharing medical decisions with their patients. |
