Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the application of mobile application-based decision support tools in patient treatment decision-making both domestically and internationally, and to provide references and insights for future research in this area.Methods:A search was conducted in databases including China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, Wanfang, China Biology Medicine disc, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, and Web of Science for relevant studies on the application of mobile application-based decision support tools in patient treatment decision-making, with the search period extending from database inception to April 1, 2024. The scope review methodology by Arksey and O'Malley was used to guide the literature summary and analysis.Results:A total of 9 studies were included in the review. The main presentation forms of mobile application-based decision support tools in patient treatment decision-making were text, charts, and videos. The main contents included assessing patients' decision-making needs, providing informational support, and summarizing the decision-making process. The evaluation criteria focused on 2 areas: decision quality (preparedness for decision-making, self-efficacy, decision conflict, regret, actual participation, satisfaction, knowledge of the disease, and treatment choices) and psychological state.Conclusions:It is recommended that future researchers fully consider patients' treatment decision-making needs and preferences, provide a more diverse range of information presentation methods, and strengthen the comprehensiveness and scientific basis of the content. These improvements aim to enhance decision quality and, through multi-center, large-sample, high-quality studies, further explore the effectiveness of these tools in clinical applications, thereby providing more evidence for their widespread adoption.
