To evaluate a newly developed blended learning programme for general practitioners (GPs) and nurses in supporting shared decision making (SDM) about palliative cancer treatment in a simulated setting.
In a pre-posttest study, healthcare professionals (HCPs) participated in the blended learning (i.e. e-learning and (online) training session). HCPs filled out surveys (T0 (baseline), T1 (after e-learning) and T2 (after full blended learning)) and engaged in simulated consultations at T0 and T2. The primary outcome was observed SDM support (Triple-S; DSAT-10 for validation). Secondary outcomes included satisfaction, knowledge about and attitude towards SDM support. Repeated measures General Linear Models were conducted.
33 HCPs (17 GPs and 16 nurses) participated. SDM support significantly improved after training (Triple-S; medium effect). Observers' overall rating of SDM support (medium effect) as well as HCPs' knowledge (large effect) and beliefs about their capabilities (medium effect) improved after training. There was no difference in decision support skills (DSAT-10), HCPs' other clinical behavioural intentions and satisfaction. HCPs evaluated the training positively.
Blended learning for HCPs on supporting SDM in palliative cancer care improved their skills, knowledge and confidence in simulated consultations.
These first findings are promising for evaluating interprofessional SDM in clinical practice.
评估一种新开发的针对全科医生（GP）和护士的混合学习计划，以在模拟环境中支持姑息治疗癌症的共同决策（SDM）。
在一项前后测试研究中，医疗保健专业人员（HCP）参加了混合学习（即电子学习和（在线）培训课程）。HCP 填写了调查（T0（基线）、T1（电子学习后）和 T2（完整混合学习后）），并在 T0 和 T2 进行了模拟咨询。主要结果是观察到的 SDM 支持（Triple-S；DSAT-10 用于验证）。次要结果包括满意度、对 SDM 支持的知识和态度。进行了重复测量的一般线性模型分析。
33 名 HCP（17 名 GP 和 16 名护士）参与了研究。培训后 SDM 支持显著提高（Triple-S；中等效应）。观察者对 SDM 支持的总体评价（中等效应）以及 HCP 的知识（大效应）和对自身能力的信念（中等效应）在培训后得到提高。决策支持技能（DSAT-10）、HCP 的其他临床行为意图和满意度没有差异。HCP 对培训给予了积极评价。
针对姑息治疗癌症中支持 SDM 的 HCP 混合学习提高了他们在模拟咨询中的技能、知识和信心。
这些初步发现为评估临床实践中的跨专业 SDM 提供了有希望的依据。
