description Background/Purpose: Shared decision-making (SDM) promotes patient awareness about medical conditions and treatments, facilitating patient involvement in care decisions. This two-stage multicenter study evaluated impacts of SDM in Taiwanese adults with atrial fibrillation (AF) eligible for novel oral anticoagulant (NOAC) therapy. Methods: Participants were NOAC-naïve (part I) or dabigatran-experienced (part II). During Stage I, part I participants (n = 124) completed a semi-structured survey (understanding evaluation sections only) before and after viewing SDM materials on stroke prevention for AF. Surveys collected data on anxiety about AF, confidence in healthcare professionals, usefulness of the SDM materials, and perception of different NOACs. During Stage II, part I participants after being prescribed NOACs, and part II participants completed another survey to compare impacts of SDM. Results: During Stage I, dabigatran was the preferred NOAC after viewing the SDM materials among 90% of part I participants. During Stage II, both part I (n = 87) and part II participants (n = 104) completed another survey. Fewer part I participants were anxious about AF (p < 0.01), and more had confidence in healthcare professionals (p < 0.01) after viewing SDM materials than before. Most part I participants (≥90%) rated the SDM materials as “very helpful”. In Stage II, participants viewing SDM before initiating dabigatran had lower anxiety (part I, 43%; part II, 53%; p < 0.01) and a higher trust (part I, 92%; part II, 84%; p < 0.01). Conclusion: In conclusion, SDM reduced anxiety and improved trust in healthcare professionals among NOAC-naïve participants with AF.
