Abstract
This article aims to contribute to the understanding of shared
decision making as an important aspect of user involvement in
mental health care from the perspectives of service users. A
thematic analysis of interviews with 25 individual service users
in three different community mental health centers in Norway
identified different understandings of shared decision making.
Shared decision making was identified as essential in four
contexts: 1) during admission, 2) in individualized treatment,
3) in different treatment contexts, and 4) in user-professional
relationships. We consider shared decision making to be intertwined
with treatment from the service user perspective.
