Increasing Decision Quality in Older Men in Selecting Treatment Options for Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS): A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
In this study, the investigators show that by upskilling of primary care physicians (PCPs) in SDM and leveraging on a novel pictorial Visual Analogue Uroflowmetry Score (VAUS), they can enhance older men's recognition of LUTS and stimulated discussion with their PCPs.

Detaljert beskrivelse
Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), often related to prostatomegaly, is common but seldom sought medical attention amongst older men. Visual-aid and shared decision-making (SDM) are potential solutions to address LUTS. The study aimed to determine the effect of a novel pictorial Visual Analogue Uroflowmetry Score (VAUS) and primary care physicians (PCP) SDM training on the decisional quality amongst men selecting their treatment options for LUTS.
This study recruited 60 multi-ethnic Asian men aged ≥50 years with moderate-to-severe LUTS (International Prostate Symptoms Score≥8 and/or QOL≥3) in a Singapore public primary care clinic. Men used the VAUS to report their symptoms. 60 men were randomly assigned to PCPs trained in SDM in the intervention group (n=30) and the other 30 to the control group (PCPs without SDM-training). Patient-physician dyad decision quality was measured using the validated SDMQ-9 (patient) and SDMQ-Doc (physician) questionnaires.

Eksperimentell: Shared decision making for men with lower urinary tract symptoms
Participants used the Visual Analogue Uroflowmetry Score so report their symptoms and were attended by Primary Care Physicians trained in shared decision making
|
Physicians in this group were trained in shared decision making

Aktiv komparator: No shared decision making for men with lower urinary tract symptoms
Participants did not use the Visual Analogue Uroflowmetry Score to report their symptoms and received usual care by Primary Care Physicians not trained in shared decision making

Quality of the decision on the management of lower urinary tract symptoms from the patients' perspective
Tidsramme: Through study completion, an average of 6 months
|
The Shared Decision Making-9 (SDMQ9) Questionnaire measures decision quality from the perspective of the patient.
Nine individual items in the questionnaire is scored from 0 to 5 on a six-point Likert scale ranging from 0 ("completely disagree") to 5 ("completely agree").
Standard scoring for the full scale is the total score, with values from 0 to 45. Higher scores indicate higher quality decisions.
