Anatomy of decision making 7
D’après Bitzer J. 2011 Service de Gynécologie-Obstétrique, Bâle, Suisse
Subjective : wishes, values, perceptions
Objective : risks, capacities, resources
Social and cultural context
Childbearing age
Relationships
Invasiveness
Evidence based
Pharmacokinetic profile
Standard, Guidelines, options
! Standard ! Generally accepted patient-care strategy ! Implies Level 1 evidence ! Accurate knowledge of the risks and benefits ! Few or no alternative therapies offering an equivalent risk-
benefit ratio ! Virtual unanimity (99% of acceptability)
8
! Guidelines ! Assess the level of evidence ! Assess the degree of uncertainty ! Engagement in all stages of the process ! Implies Level 2 or 3 Evidence ! Outlines also what “is not required to…”
Standard, Guidelines, options 9
Standard, Guidelines, options
! Evidence based options ! Accurate knowledge of the risks and benefits ! Existence of alternative therapies with different but acceptable
levels of efficiency and risks ! Even distribution of the patients’ choices
! Random options ! Inaccurate knowledge and uncertain clinical use ! Insufficient, inconclusive or conflicting evidence/experts
opinions. ! Patients’ preference
10
Eliciting patient’s preferences
! Clear statement of the patient in favour of an option ! Refusal to choose
! Reformulate in order to obtain the patient’s point of view ! Eliciting of constituent elements of a preference
! Help the patient to make connections between the risks/benefits and family, social, philosophical, religious preferences
! Reformulate and assess the consistence of the chosen option
11
12
Beliefs or representations that may affect the behaviour of patients facing treatment choice
! Absence of periods is bad for your health and can be fattening ! Loss of uterus can be synonymous with loss of femininity ! Hormones are “bad for your health”, “fattening”, they “give
cancer”, “reduce libido”… ! Artificial hormones are “bad for the planet”…
Replacing beliefs
! On any topic, it is not easy to leave opinions and beliefs behind
! As a first step, it is important to explore and respect them
« "It is not so much that people are unaware that causes problems, it is all they know and that is not true" »
Mark Twain

A few questions to explore the patient’s knowledge and beliefs
! Would the absence of periods trouble you? ! Do you prefer any method in particular?
If yes, which one? And why? ! Are you reluctant to use any methods?
If yes, which ones? And why? ! What would be the optimum method for you? ! Would you rather use a simple but less efficient method or a
more invasive but 100% efficient method?
! Paternalistic ! Physician: Guardian ! Values: objective and shared by physician ! Patient’s autonomy: assenting to objective values
! Informative ! Patient: choice of, and control over, medical care ! Values: defined, fixed, and known to the patient ! Physician: competent technical expert
! Interpretative ! Values: inchoate and conflicting, requiring elucidation ! Physician: Counselor or adviser (elucidate or interpret) ! Patient’s autonomy: self-understanding relevant to medical care
! Deliberative ! Values: open to development and revision through moral discussion ! Patient’s autonomy: moral self-development relevant to medical care ! Physician: friend or teacher (reveal patient’s values and preferences)

Raise self-esteem
Open ended Questions
Reflect
Transform closed-ended questions into open-ended questions
• Are you reluctant to use a hormone treatment?
• Are you uncomfortable with the idea of not having a uterus anymore?
21
How do you feel about not having a uterus anymore?
What do you think of a hormone treatment?
Few formulas to start reformulation (reflect)
• If I understand you correctly…
• So, in your opinion…
• What you mean is that…
• In other words…
• So, according to you…
22
Raising self-esteem
• Reinforce the feeling of personal efficiency, enhance patient’s resources
• Direct formulas to raise self-esteem,
to appreciate the efforts and to be supportive
« I sincerely realize that you have always been very consistent in your gynecological follow-up, so I have total confidence in your ability to take your treatment consistently »
