Development and user-testing of a digital patient decision aid to facilitate shared decision-making for people with stable angina.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Research shows that people with stable angina need decision support when considering elective treatments. Initial treatment is with medicines but patients may gain further benefit with invasive percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Choosing between these treatments can be challenging for patients because both confer similar benefits but have different risks. Patient decision aids (PtDAs) are evidence-based interventions that support shared decision-making (SDM) when making healthcare decisions. This study aimed to develop and user-test a digital patient decision aid (CONNECT) to facilitate SDM for people with stable angina considering invasive treatment with elective PCI.

Methods

A multi-phase study was conducted to develop and test CONNECT (COroNary aNgioplas
