目的:检查患者的偏好以及医生对姑息治疗决策和沟通的这些偏好的看法。患者和方法:在姑息治疗门诊进行初步评估后,对78名可评估的癌症患者进行了医疗决策偏好(dmp)的前瞻性研究。通过问卷调查评估dmp,使用5种可能的选择,从1(患者倾向于做出治疗决定)到5(患者倾向于医生做出决定)。此外,还评估了医生对这种偏好的看法。结果:78例患者中有30例(38%)医患完全一致;当五个原始类别重新组合以涵盖主动,共享和被动决策时,78例中有35例(45%)存在一致性。医生和患者之间一致性的kappa系数较差,简单kappa为0.14(95%置信限,-0.01至0.30),加权kappa为0.17(95%置信区间[CI], 0.00至0.34)(根据三个重新分组的类别计算)。78名患者中分别有16名(20%)、49名(63%)和13名(17%)选择了主动、固定和被动的dmp, 78名医生中分别有23名(29%)、30名(39%)和25名(32%)选择了主动、固定和被动的dmp。大多数患者(49例[63%]/ 78例;95% CI, 0.51 - 0.74)倾向于与医生共享治疗方法。医生们预测,患者更倾向于一种不太常见的治疗方法。患者的年龄和性别对DMP没有显著影响,结论:需要个体化的方法,每个患者都应该对DMP进行前瞻性评估。
Purpose: To examine patient preferences as well as physician perceptions of these preferences for decision making and communication in palliative care.Patients and Methods: Medical decision-making preferences (DMPs) were prospectively studied in 78 assessable cancer patients after initial assessment at a palliative care outpatient clinic. DMPs were assessed with a questionnaire using five possible choices ranging from 1 (patient prefers to make the treatment decision) to 5 (patient prefers the physician to make the decision). In addition, the physician's perception of this preference was assessed.Results: Full concordance between the physician and the patient was seen in 30 (38%) of 78 cases; when the five original categories were recombined to cover active, shared, and passive decision making, there wets concordance in 35 (45%) of 78 cases. The kappa coefficient for agreement between physician and patient was poor at 0.14 (95% confidence limit, -0.01 to 0.30) for simple kappa and 0.17 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.00 to 0.34) for weighted kappa (calculated on the three regrouped categories). Active, shored, and passive DMPs were chosen by 16 (20%) of 78, 49 (63%) of 78, and 13 (17%) of 78 patients, and by 23 (29%) of 78, 30 (39%) of 78, and 25 (32%) of 78 physicians, respectively. The majority of patients (49 [63%] of 78; 95% CI, 0.51 to 0.74) preferred a shared approach with physicians. Physicians predicted that patients preferred a less shared approach than they in fact did. Patient age or sex did not significantly alter DMP,Conclusion: An individual approach is needed and each patient should be assessed prospectively for DMP.
