Abstract:
Objective:To systematically review and synthesize qualitative studies on the experiences of information communication in the treatment decision-making process for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) .Methods:Electronic databases, including PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, Cochrane Library, Medline, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang data, and VIP, were searched for studies on information communication experiences among ESRD patients during their treatment decision-making process up to March 1, 2023. The quality of the included studies was evaluated using the 2016 version of the Joanna Briggs Institute's qualitative research quality assessment criteria. A Meta-synthesis approach and NVivo 12.0 software were utilized for data synthesis.Results:Eleven studies were included, from which 28 themes related to information communication were extracted, integrated into six new categories, and synthesized into three consolidated findings: attitudes towards information communication during the treatment decision-making process for ESRD patients, needs for information communication during the treatment decision-making process, and the impact of information communication on treatment decision-making for ESRD.Conclusions:Information communication is crucial in the decision-making process for ESRD patients regarding treatment. Healthcare professionals should encourage patient involvement in information communication, meet their information needs, and establish diversified mechanisms of information communication to guide patients in choosing the best treatment options.
