Abstract

BACKGROUND: Shared decision making (SDM) is associated with positive health outcomes and may be particularly relevant for patients with chronic disease.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether (1) patients with chronic diseases, particularly those requiring self-management, are more likely to engage in SDM behaviors than patients without chronic diseases and (2) patients with chronic diseases are more likely to have their

DESIGN: A cross-sectional study of patients who were enrolled in a randomized controlled trial to improve patient-physician communication.

PARTICIPANTS: Adult patients with hypertension at community health clinics in Baltimore, Maryland.

APPROACH: We used multivariable regression models to examine the associations of the following predictor variables: (1) chronic disease burden and (2) diseases requiring self-management with the following outcome variables measuring SDM components: (1) patient information sharing, (2) patient decision making, and (3) physician SDM facilitation.

KEY RESULTS: Patients with greater chronic disease burden and more diseases requiring self-management reported more information sharing (β = .07,

CONCLUSIONS: Patients with chronic diseases, particularly those requiring self-management, may be more likely to engage in SDM behaviors, but physicians may not be more likely to engage such patients in SDM. Targeting patients with chronic disease for SDM may improve health outcomes among the chronically ill, particularly among vulnerable patients (eg, minorities, low-income patients) who suffer disproportionately from such conditions.
