TL;DR: It can be beneficial if health care professionals address the role of existential matters in patients' decision-making in terms of clinical trial participation and involve the relatives more directly to increase individualised decisions.

TL;DR: Providing outpatients with a QPL and DAR of their consultation positively influences the patients' perception of having adequate information after the consultation, and should be considered in routine practice.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the large-scale implementation of evidence-based CST programmes can yield the same outcomes that have been observed in smaller and better controlled studies.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated how the use of participatory action research (PAR) helped to respond to communication challenges associated with shared decision-making (SDM) training and valuable communication skills addressing a broader understanding of SDM were identified.

TL;DR: Caring for individuals with life limiting illness is complex, and often occurs in an emotionally charged environment, however, nurses report being hampered by time restraints and lack of information about the patient's condition and goals of care.
