Decisional Conflict Scale scores before and after the study intervention (n = 49)
| Item* | Mean score ± SD | Change (95% CI) | Effect size | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Before | After | |||
| Total score | 25.7 ± 17.4 | 7.7 ± 8.9 | −18.1 (−21.8 to −14.3) | 1.3 |
| Uncertainty subscore | 6.1 ± 14.9 | 3.6 ± 11.4 | −2.6 (−6.2 to 1.1) | 0.2 |
| Informed subscore | 48.6 ± 31.0 | 15.6 ± 21.1 | −33.0 (−40.8 to −25.2) | 1.2 |
| Values clarity subscore | 30.1 ± 30.2 | 5.1 ± 12.5 | −25.0 (−32.8 to −17.2) | 1.1 |
| Support subscore | 12.9 ± 21.9 | 4.1 ± 14.2 | −8.8 (−14.4 to −3.3) | 0.5 |
Note: CI = confidence interval, SD = standard deviation.
* Total score: 0 (no decisional conflict) to 100 (extremely high decisional conflict); subscales: 0 (“good” [e.g., “extremely certain”]) to 100 (“bad” [e.g., “extremely uncertain”]).
