Shared Decision-Making for Families in Critical Dialysis Initiation

Официальное название

The Integrated Shared Decision-making Program of Critical Hemodialysis Initiation - the Effects on Decision Conflict, Decision Regret, Anxiety and Depression Among Family Members

Обзор

Background:Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent and serious complication in critically ill patients, often necessitating difficult decisions about starting hemodialysis. While shared decision-making (SDM) is known to improve communication, the effectiveness of structured SDM programs specifically designed for family members in this critical context is not well-established. Aims: The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured shared decision-making (SDM) program for family members of patients requiring critical hemodialysis initiation. We will assess the program's impact on the quality of the decision-making process (e.g., decision conflict, regret) and the psychological well-being (e.g., anxiety, depression) of the family members. Methods: This study is a parallel-group, randomized controlled trial. Eligible participants (family members of patients with AKI initiating hemodialysis) will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group will receive a structured SDM support program, while the control group will receive standard care. Primary outcomes, including decision conflict, decision regret, anxiety, and depression, will be measured at baseline and follow-up. Data will be analyzed using the generalized estimating equation (GEE) model to compare the effectiveness between the two groups.
