Background
It is unknown how often Dutch patient decision aids are used during kidney failure treatment modality education and what their impact is on shared decision-making.
Objectives
We determined the use of Three Good Questions, ‘Overviews of options’, and Dutch Kidney Guide by kidney healthcare professionals. Also, we determined patient-experienced shared decision-making. Finally, we determined whether the experience of shared decision-making among patients changed after a training workshop for healthcare professionals.
Design
Quality improvement study.
Participants
Healthcare professionals answered questionnaires regarding education/patient decision aids. Patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate <20 mL/min/1.73 m2 completed shared decision-making questionnaires. Data were analysed with one-way analysis of variance and linear regression.
Results
Of 117 healthcare professionals, 56% applied shared decision-making by discussing Three Good Questions (28%), ‘Overviews of options’ (31%–33%) and Kidney Guide (51%). Of 182 patients, 61%–85% was satisfied with their education. Of worst scoring hospitals regarding shared decision-making, only 50% used ‘Overviews of options’/Kidney Guide. Of best scoring hospitals 100% used them, needed less conversations (p = 0.05), provided information about all treatment options and more often provided information at home. After the workshop, patients' shared decision-making scores remained unchanged.
Conclusions
The use of specifically developed patient decision aids during kidney failure treatment modality education is limited. Hospitals that did use them had higher shared decision-making scores. However, the degree of shared decision-making experienced by patients remained unchanged after healthcare professionals were trained on shared decision-making and the implementation of patient decision aids.
