Title
Exploring Oral Cancer Patients' Preference in Medical Decision Making and Quality of Life.
Abstract
Little is known about the clinical effects of shared medical decision making (SMDM) associated with quality of life about oral cancer? To understand patients who occurred potential cause of SMDM and extended to explore the interrelated components of quality of life for providing patients with potential adaptation of early assessment. All consenting patients completed the SMDM questionnaire and 36-Item Short Form (SF-36). Regression analyses were conducted to find predictors of quality of life among oral cancer patients. The proposed model predicted 57.4% of the variance in patients' SF-36 Mental Component scores. Patient mental component summary scores were associated with smoking habit (beta = -0.3449, p = 0.022), autonomy (beta =-0.226, p = 0.018) and Control preference (beta = -0.388, p = 0.007). The proposed model predicted 42.6% of the variance in patients' SF-36 Physical component scores. Patient physical component summary scores were associated with higher education (beta = 0.288, p = 0.007), employment status (beta = -0.225, p = 0.033), involvement perceived (beta = 0.606, P = 0.011) and Risk communication (beta = -0.558, p = 0.019). Future research is necessary to determine whether oral cancer patients would benefit from early screening and intervention to address shared medical decision making.
