The principles are well documented, but there is a gap in that it&#8217;s hard to apply them in routine clinical practice. The steps have been simplified into five steps. The first step is seeking patient participation in that the health practitioner is tasked with communicating existing choices and therefore inviting them to the decision-making process. The next step involves assisting the patient to explore and compare the treatment options by a critical analysis of the risks and benefits. The third step involves the assessment of the patient\u2019s values and what they prefer taking to account what is of paramount urgency to the patient. Step 4 involves decision making where the patient and the practitioner make a conclusive decision on the best option and arrange for subsequent follow up meetings. Finally, the fifth step involves the analysis of the patient\u2019s decision\u2019. Five steps for you and your patients to work together to make the best possible health care decisions. The step involves monitoring of the degree of implementation, overcoming of barriers of decision implantation consequently the decisions need to be revisited and optimized thus ensuring the decision has a positive impact on health outcomes its success relies on the ability of the health practitioner to create a good interpersonal relationship with the patient. (Stone, 2017)<\/p>\n<p>Depression still remains a major problem in the US whereby statistics have it that 16 million people were affected in the year 2017 (WHO, 2017). The depression is multifactorial and has been on the increase due to societal pressure, genetic association, and an increase in the use of drugs (Zhang et al. 2016). incorporation of nursing in the management of depression may seem important in that nursing hold a pivotal role in health care delivery where they are they are the health practitioners that have been trained to be versatile from clinical to psychological care Their incorporation shared decision making in treating depression may be important as nurses are known to have the best interpersonal relationship with the patients thus a better collaborative model can be achieved due to this fact (Williams et al 2016). With this in mind, the nurses may serve to administer drugs in management, prepare and maintain the patient\u2019s records, interaction with other care staff to achieve optimum care, and organizing therapy sessions (Lu et al. 2019)<sup class=\"noprint Inline-Template\">[<\/sup>. In a study by (Duncan, Best &amp; Hagen, 2010) concerning shared decision-making interventions for people with mental health conditions there were no overt benefits that were discovered and the called for further research in this area. Another study by (Langer, Mooney &amp; Wills, 2015) found that it is important to begin the dissemination and implementation of SDM as they proved that it has benefits in healthcare especially in mental health care and has received social and government support and however transitioning to SDM has proven to be an uphill task. Kathleen Walsh 2017 recognizes in her journal the fact that Dr. Velligan stated that SDM is of importance in demonstrating patient preferences in decision making when there is no clear approach to treatment. In addition, numerous tools can be used to make the decision making the process easier these include the Controlled Preferences Scale that informs clinicians on how to actively involve patients<\/p>\n<p>He further gives the suggestion that providers need to embrace shared decision-making by making sure the patients participate actively in their management thus enabling the success of the model.
