This study assessed barriers and enablers to patient decision making in deprescribing and found that appropriateness of a medication was the most common factor influencing deprescribing.
Background and Objectives: Effective deprescribing requires shared decision making between a patient and their clinician, and should be used when implementing evidence-based deprescribing conversations. As part of the Shed-MEDS clinical trial, this study assessed barriers and enablers that influence patient decision making in deprescribing to inform future implementation efforts and adaptations. Research Design and Methods: Shed-MEDS, a randomized controlled deprescribing trial, included hospitalized older adults discharging to post-acute care facilities. A trained clinician reviewed each participant's medical history and medication list to identify medications with potential for deprescribing. The study clinician then conducted a semistructured patient-centered deprescribing interview to determine patient (or surrogate) concerns about medications and willingness to deprescribe. Reeve et al.'s (2013) framework was used to categorize barriers and enablers to deprescribing from the patient's perspective, including appropriateness of cessation, fear, dislike of a medication, influences, and process of cessation. Results: Overall, participants/surrogates (N = 177) agreed with 63% (883 total medications) of the study clinician's deprescribing recommendations. Thematic analysis revealed that appropriateness of a medication was the most common barrier (88.2%) and enabler (67.3%) to deprescribing. Other deprescribing enablers were in the following domains: influences (22.7%), process (22.5%), pragmatic (19.4%), and dislike (5.3%). Discussion and Implications: Use of a semistructured deprescribing interview conversation tool allowed study clinicians to elicit individual barriers and enablers to deprescribing from the patient's perspective. Participants in this study expressed more agreement than disagreement with study clinicians' deprescribing recommendations. These results should inform future implementation efforts that incorporate a patient-centered framework during deprescribing conversations.
