About this study

During a pilot cross-sectional study, the 9- Item Shared Decision Making Questionnaire (9SDMQ) will be administered in two groups of participants, one (N=60) suffering from surgical diseases and one (N=60) from non-surgical medical diseases. Patients hospitalized in four acute wards (2 surgical and 2 non-surgical wards) or visiting the relevant outpatient departments of the Triassion General Hospital of Elefsina, Greece will be recruited. The primary outcome will be the difference on the 9SDMQ scores (transformed in a 1-100% scale) in patients suffering from surgical versus non-surgical disorders. Secondary outcome measures will include the effect of patients' demographic and clinical variables, of physicians' demographic variables and of the score on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment on the 9SDMQ scores. Additionally the relationship of patients' satisfaction on the 9SDMQ scores will also be investigated.
