This study aimed to investigate patients\u2019 experience with SDM in both outpatient and inpatient settings, exploring how the quality of care provided by doctors and patient\u2019s trust in doctors influence SDM across different contexts.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>This study utilized data from the regional cross-sectional surveys, including the 2019 Inpatient Experience and the 2021 Specialist Outpatient Experience survey in Hong Kong. Multivariable logistic regression and path analysis were conducted.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>A total of 20,675 participants were included (inpatients: <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20098,275; outpatients: <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200912, 400) in this study. The results indicated that inpatients perceiving better quality of doctor\u2019s care were significantly more likely to participate in SDM (OR\u2009=\u20091.29, 95%CI\u2009=\u20091.26\u20131.47, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), with trust in doctors significantly moderating this association. Conversely, among outpatients, a higher quality of doctor\u2019s care was significantly associated with decreased SDM involvement (OR\u2009=\u20090.91, 95% CI\u2009=\u20090.88-1.00, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.04), with trust in doctors serving as a mediator in suppressing this association. Additionally, both subsets indicated that females, the elderly, individuals with good health status, less-educated people, and those living alone were less likely to engage in SDM.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>These findings underscore the importance of tailoring SDM implementation to specific contexts, acknowledging the different challenges within outpatient and inpatient settings.
