Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate and analyze the level of actual participation and perceived importance of shared decision-making on treatment and care of lung cancer patients, to compare their differences and to explore factors that in uence them.Methods: A total of 290 lung cancer patients were collected from the department of oncology and thoracic surgery of a comprehensive medical center in Qingdao from October 2018 to December 2019. Participants completed a cross-sectional questionnaire to assess their actual participation and perceived importance in shared decision-making on treatment and care.Descriptive analysis and non-parametric tests were carried out to assess the status quo of patients' shared decision-making on treatment and care. Binary logistic regression analysis with a stepwise back-wards was applied to predict the factors that affected patients' participation in shared decision-making.Results: The results showed that patients with lung cancer had a low degree of participation in shared decision-making. There were signi cant differences between actual participation and perceived importance of shared decision-making on treatment and care. Education level, younger, gender, income, marital status, personality, the course of the disease (>6 months), and the Pathological TNM staging ( ) affected the patient's level of participation in shared decision-making.Conclusion: Actual participation in shared decision-making for the treatment and care of lung cancer patients was low and considered unimportant. We could train oncology nurses to use patient decision aids to help patients and families participate in shared decision-making based patients' value, preferences and needs.
