Abstract

Background:Shared decision-making is a collaborative approach that empowers patients and healthcare providers to make informed decisions, incorporating evidence-based practice and patient input. From an Islamic perspective, the principles of shura,amanah, and maqasid shariahalign strongly with the ethical principles of shared decision-making, offering an enriched lens for understanding the moral significance of healthcare. Methods:This research employed bibliometric analysis to investigate the global research landscape of shared decision-making in healthcare provision and to assess the integration of Islamic perspectives within existing literature. Using Vosviewer, the BibliometrixR package, and Microsoft Excel, the relevant analysis was done, and visualisations of the data were generated. Results:The analysis revealed a strong concentration of shared decision-making in healthcare in developed countries, with prominent contributions from authors like Joseph-Williams and Legare. However, there was a limited representation of research from middle-and low-income countries and from Muslim-majority context. The collaboration networks showed gaps in inclusivity and geographical diversity. Journals such as BMJ Open, Health Expectations, and Patient Education and Counselingwere identified as leading platforms for shared decision-making publications, reflecting the multidisciplinary nature of the field, which spans areas such as chronic disease management, public health, and patient education. The research provides a comprehensive overview of the shared decision-making research landscape, identifying the strengths, key contributors, and underrepresented areas. Despite the potential benefits of integrating Islamic perspectives into a shared decision-making framework, there is a lack of representation in the current literature. Conclusion:Strengthening international collaboration and integrating Islamic ethical principles and may enhance the inclusivity and effectiveness of shared decision-making in global healthcare provision
