Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Factors influencing DA sustainability
- Facilitator: user-friendly design of the DA
- Facilitator: effective in simplifying complex medical information, aiding informed decision-making for patients with SLE
- Barrier: inconsistent staff knowledge about the DA
