This study evaluates whether a Patient Decision Aid for the field-directed treatment of actinic keratosis has an effect on shared decision making and patient satisfaction.
Actinic keratosis is the most common epithelial precancerous lesion among the Caucasian race. With an increase in prevalence worldwide due to an aging population and rise of ultraviolet exposure actinic keratosis are among the most frequently encountered skin lesions in clinical practice.
There are many therapeutic modalities for the treatment of actinic keratosis, depending on multiple factors such as distribution, characteristics, patient preference, side effects, availability and costs. Treatment options can be divided into: lesion directed therapy en field directed therapy.
A Patient Decision Aid for field-directed therapies for actinic keratosis may attribute to better shared-decision making and patient satisfaction which on their part may benefits treatment compliance and health outcomes and may lead to fewer disputes between patients and doctors.
