What Decisions Matter to Women Facing a Breast Cancer Diagnosis? A Case Study From the Global South on Treatment Shared Decision‐Making and the Management of Distress

BC is experienced as a distressing diagnosis. Women prioritize decisions that they perceive will speed up their care and do not effectively participate in treatment decision-making. This study is part of a larger mixed-methods project that aims to elucidate factors influencing SDM in BC. Future directions should provide strategies to patients and clinicians to build more symmetrical relationships and evaluate the satisfaction with care of universal coverage-oriented policies, as well as how this could influence the exercise of patients' autonomy.
