Level of shared decision making and associated factors among patients with mental illness in Northwest Ethiopia: Explanatory sequential mixed method study.
Article in PloS one, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundShared decision-making is a patient-centered and a recovery-oriented mental health system in which consumers are encouraged to actively engage in illness management. Although shared decision-making research in mental health has evolved rapidly in the past two decades, there is a lack of studies examining the level and factors associated with shared decision-making practice in low-income countries like Ethiopia.
methodsAn institutional-based explanatory sequential mixed method study design was conducted from July 18 to September 18, 2022, at Bahir Dar city specialized hospitals. A systematic random sampling technique was used. The level of shared-decision making was measured by 9-item shared decision-making questionnaire among 423 patients with mental illness. Epicollect5 was used to collect data, which was then exported to the Statistical Package for social science version 25 for analysis. Variables with a P-value < 0.25 were considered candidates for the multivariate logistic regression analysis. The odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval was used to show the strength of the association. An in-depth interview was conducted among ten purposively selected participants.
resultLow shared decision-making practice was found to be 49.2% (95% CI 45.9%-55.7%). The Multivariate analysis showed that low perceived compassionate care (AOR = 4.45; 95%CI 2.52-7.89), low social support (AOR = 1.72; 95% CI 1.06-2.80), and no community-based health insurance (AOR = 1.96; 95%CI l.04-3.69) were positively associated with low shared decision making. The qualitative result showed that the most common barriers to shared decision-making were a lack of empathy and a shortage of mental health workers. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: Almost half of the patients had low shared decision-making practices. This implies that shared decision-making requires high attention as it is essential for patient-centered care.
