We examined care providers' opinions and use of the guidelines' SDM tools, self\u2010reported adherence to SDM content recommendations, perspectives on SDM conversations, and its association with birth beliefs.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n For this cross\u2010sectional survey, including 575 maternity care providers, an online questionnaire was developed. Most questions used a 5\u2010point Likert scale. Birth beliefs (medical vs. natural) were assessed using the Birth Beliefs Scale. Uni\u2010 and multivariable regression analyses were used to assess the association between a medical and natural view and SDM content and perspectives.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Among participants aware of the tools, usage rates were 63% for Tool 1 (steps of SDM), 72% for Tool 2 (choice card IOL\/EM), and 51% for Tool 3 (choice card alternatives). Helpfulness scores exceeded the neutral midpoint (3.7, 3.8, and 3.7). The majority of participants reported addressing most of the items of SDM that were recommended in the guideline, though lower rates were seen for addressing outcome percentages (37%), parity differences (33%), and EM beyond 42\u2009weeks (37%). Birth beliefs influenced SDM content, emphasis on advantages of options, and perspectives; those with stronger natural views paid more attention to women's preferences and alternatives.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n Care providers are generally positive about the tools in the late\u2010term management guideline, though not all use them. Key elements for SDM are often omitted, and birth beliefs influence how SDM is conducted.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/birt.70099","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,3]],"date-time":"2026-08-03T06:38:23Z","timestamp":1785739103000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Shared Decision\u2010Making on Late\u2010Term Gestation Management (\n LATE<\/scp>\n \u2010Study): A Cross\u2010Sectional Survey Among Maternity Care Providers"],"prefix":"10.1111","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5946-2205","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna E.","family":"Seijmonsbergen\u2010Schermers","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Amsterdam UMC Location Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam Midwifery Science Amsterdam the Netherlands"},{"name":"Midwifery Academy Amsterdam Groningen, Inholland Amsterdam the Netherlands"},{"name":"Amsterdam Public Health Quality of Care Amsterdam the Netherlands"},{"name":"Department of Primary and Long\u2010Term Care University of Groningen, University Medical Center Groningen Groningen AD the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-5797-9350","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kika","family":"Grosheide","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Amsterdam UMC Location Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam Midwifery Science Amsterdam the Netherlands"},{"name":"Midwifery Academy Amsterdam Groningen, Inholland Amsterdam the Netherlands"},{"name":"Amsterdam Public Health Quality of Care Amsterdam the Netherlands"},{"name":"Department of Primary and Long\u2010Term Care University of Groningen, University Medical Center Groningen Groningen AD the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fatima","family":"Hammiche","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Amsterdam UMC Location Amsterdam University Medical Center Amsterdam the Netherlands"},{"name":"Amsterdam Reproduction and Development Amsterdam the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5216-8724","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hannah de","family":"Klerk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Amsterdam UMC Location Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam Midwifery Science Amsterdam the Netherlands"},{"name":"Midwifery Academy Amsterdam Groningen, Inholland Amsterdam the Netherlands"},{"name":"Amsterdam Public Health Quality of Care Amsterdam the Netherlands"},{"name":"Department of Primary and Long\u2010Term Care University of Groningen, University Medical Center Groningen Groningen AD the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0694-0637","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Judit K.
