  • Prep-DM45

10-item, 5-point scale measures patients’ perception of how useful the PtDA is in preparing them to communicate with their health care professional during consultations, and for making a healthcare decision. Range 0–100, higher scores indicate higher perceived level of preparation for decision-making. X
  • Study-specific items

24 items with 2–8 response options/open-ended to assess (1) the way in which the PtDA has been presented to the patient, (2) the experience of the patient with using the PtDA, and (3) the extent to which the PtDA is of value to the patient. X

Perceived risk and fear of recurrence
6-item, 4-point scale measures concerns about cancer recurrence and the impact of these concerns on daily functioning. Range 6–24, higher scores indicate greater worrying. X X X X X X
