The Preparation for Decision Making Scale is a reliable and validated self-reported measure of the patient/caregiver or provider's perception of how useful a decision support intervention is in preparing the respondent to communicate with others making a health decision.
Items are summed and scored, then divided by 10; scores can be converted to a 0-100 scale.
Higher scores indicate higher perceived level of preparation for decision making.

Periodo de tiempo: Baseline, Week 4 (waitlisted control only), Post-Intervention (Week 4 or 8)
|
The Decision Self-efficacy Scale is a reliable and validated instrument that measures self-confidence or belief in one's abilities in decision making, including shared decision making (SDM).
Items are summed, divided by 11, and multiplied by 25.
Scores range from 0 to 100 (very confident).
