Patients and healthcare professionals’ perspectives on the implementation of shared decision making in multiple myeloma: a multinational qualitative study
While SDM is partially applied in MM care, there remains room for improvement. This can be done by amplifying the role of haematology nurses and other multidisciplinary team members in the SDM process. Additionally, efforts should focus on increasing the role of patient organisations in raising awareness about SDM and empowering patients to actively participate in SDM. The recommendations derived from this study along with the insights for PtDA development can serve as an initial stride towards increasing SDM implementation in MM care.
