Shared decision-making in palliative cancer care: A systematic review and metasynthesis
Background: Shared decision-making is a key element of person-centred care and
promoted as the favoured model in preference-sensitive decision-making. Limitations to
implementation have been observed, and barriers and limitations, both generally and in the
palliative setting, have been highlighted. More knowledge about the process of shared
decision-making in palliative cancer care would assist in addressing these limitations. Aim:
To identify and synthesise qualitative data on how people with cancer, informal carers and …

Background
Shared decision-making is a key element of person-centred care and promoted as the favoured model in preference-sensitive decision-making. Limitations to implementation have been observed, and barriers and limitations, both generally and in the palliative setting, have been highlighted. More knowledge about the process of shared decision-making in palliative cancer care would assist in addressing these limitations.
Aim
To identify and synthesise qualitative data on how people with cancer, informal carers and healthcare professionals experience and perceive shared decision-making in palliative cancer care.
Design
A systematic review and metasynthesis of qualitative studies. We analysed data using inductive thematic analysis.
Data sources
We searched five electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL and Scopus) from inception until June 2023, supplemented by backward searches.
Results
We identified and included 23 studies, reported in 26 papers. Our analysis produced four analytical themes; (1) Overwhelming situation of ‘no choice’, (2) Processes vary depending on the timings and nature of the decisions involved, (3) Patient-physician dyad is central to decision-making, with surrounding support and (4) Level of involvement depends on interactions between individuals and systems.
Conclusion
Shared decision-making in palliative cancer care is a complex process of many decisions in a challenging, multifaceted and evolving situation where equipoise and choice are limited. Implications for practice: Implementing shared decision-making in clinical practice requires (1) clarifying conceptual confusion, (2) including members of the interprofessional team in the shared decision-making process and (3) adapting the approach to the ambiguous, existential situations which arise in palliative cancer care.
