Application Prospects of Problem Prompt Lists in Proxy Decision-Makers for Cancer Patients
Abstract：This article reviews domestic and international literature to elaborate on the many benefits of problem prompt lists. Combined with the challenges faced by cancer patients in shared decision-making in China and the current social situation, it analyzes from three aspects: cancer patients, proxy decision-makers, and healthcare providers. The authors believe that problem prompt lists have good application prospects for proxy decision-makers of cancer patients in China. Problem prompt lists are an effective auxiliary tool for promoting shared decision-making, which can meet the information needs of patients and their families and reduce the pressure during decision-making. Currently, the development of problem prompt lists in China is still in its early stages. Researchers should explore problem prompt lists suitable for proxy decision-makers of Chinese cancer patients based on the experience of foreign developments, making them both suitable for China's national conditions and capable of meeting the information needs of patients and their families, thus promoting communication.
