Brief Summary
This study aims to develop and evaluate an online shared decision-making (SDM) educational program for nurses and patients with chronic diseases. Shared decision-making is a process in which healthcare professionals and patients make health-related decisions together based on the best available evidence and the patient's values and preferences. The study includes an evaluation phase. In the evaluation phase, the program will be tested among nurses working in general hospitals and adults with chronic diseases living in the community. Outcomes related to shared decision-making will be assessed at baseline, immediately after the 4-week program, and 1 month later. The study is expected to improve shared decision-making competence, experience, and preparedness among both nurses and patients.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Change in nurses' shared decision-making competence
Nurses' shared decision-making competence will be assessed using a shared decision-making competency scale for nurses. The primary analysis will compare changes in scores between baseline and post-intervention assessments in the intervention and control groups.
Baseline, immediately after the 4-week intervention, and 1 month after the first post-intervention assessment
Change in patients' shared decision-making experience
Patients' shared decision-making experience will be assessed using the 9-item Shared Decision Making Questionnaire (SDM-Q-9). The primary analysis will compare changes in scores between baseline and post-intervention assessments in the intervention and control groups.
Baseline, immediately after the 4-week intervention, and 1 month after the first post-intervention assessment
Secondary Outcomes (4)
Change in nurses' shared decision-making experience
Baseline, immediately after the 4-week intervention, and 1 month after the first post-intervention assessment
Change in patients' decisional conflict
Baseline, immediately after the 4-week intervention, and 1 month after the first post-intervention assessment
Change in shared decision-making knowledge
Baseline and immediately after the 4-week intervention
Preparation for decision making after the intervention

Study Arms (2)
Online SDM Educational Program Group
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive access to a web-based shared decision-making educational program tailored for nurses or patients with chronic diseases for 4 weeks.
Control Group
ACTIVE COMPARATORParticipants will be provided access to publicly available comparison materials during the 4-week study period.
Interventions
The nurse program is a 4-week web-based shared decision-making educational program for nurses working in general hospitals. It is designed to enhance nurses' knowledge and skills in shared decision-making, decision support, and patient communication through self-directed online learning.
The patient program is a 4-week web-based shared decision-making educational program for adults with chronic diseases. It is designed to support patients in participating in shared decision-making by helping them prepare for decisions, explore options, and clarify their values and preferences.
The control condition consists of access to publicly available communication-related educational materials, such as those provided by the Nursing Human Resources Employment Education Center.
The control condition consists of access to publicly available health management information, such as that provided by the National Health Information Portal.
