1A REVIEW OF SHARED DECISION MAKING IN NURSING
Executive Summary
This report is an analysis of an article named “Shared Decision-Making for Nursing Practice:
An Integrative Review” by Marie Truglio-Londrigan and Jason T. Slyer. In that article
authors reviewed 52 articles meeting the inclusion criteria and evaluated them. They have
suggested recommendations based on the evaluation and findings from it. This report
analyses those aspects to provide an insight into the SDM in nursing. Ultimately limitations
have been identified and recommendations have been suggested based on the critical
appraisal of that published article to make SDM a more efficient and functionable tool in
nursing.

3A REVIEW OF SHARED DECISION MAKING IN NURSING
1. Introduction
Shared decision-making (SDM) is a co-operative process between the service
provider and the patient where they reciprocally exchange their information, knowledge and
experience in a bi-directional way to arrive at a single and mutual decision (Légaré &
Witteman, 2013). In nursing profession, SDM is a model, which is being used extensively in
the healthcare industry worldwide. In this report, the article named “Shared Decision-Making
for Nursing Practice: An Integrative Review” by Marie Truglio-Londrigan and Jason T. Slyer
will be critically apprised. The title of the paper clearly reflects the purpose of the research
paper. SDM is being used in various healthcare fields globally so better implementation of
the model in the healthcare system is quintessential. The research article has focussed on the
different components of SDM and suggested the usage of SDM as a comprehensive process
for patients and nurses in the healthcare industry. Recently this model has garnered a lot of
attention from the healthcare industry professionals and the researchers to find out proper
ways of incorporating SDM into the system (Oliver et al., 2018). In this article, the authors
have attempted to critically analyse the SDM model. Implications of the findings from the
critical analysis to make shared decision making more convenient and meaningful for both of
the nurses and the patients is the primary objective of this research article.
2. Discussion
The data collection procedure, method and design, literature review, sampling
method, findings and recommendations of the research article will be evaluated and discussed
in the following.
2.1. Methodology, Design and Data collection
This article is based on data collected from several published research articles. Data
analysis and evaluation was done afterwards. All the articles chosen were about shared
