| n | Before Mean±SD |
After Mean±SD |
Change (95% CI) | P value | |
| Total score | 100 | 25.0±26.1 | 18.7±20.3 | −6.7 (−11.1 to −2.3) | 0.003 |
| Uncertainty subscore | 100 | 19.4±31.9 | 11.3±26.2 | −8.5 (−14.6 to −2.4) | 0.007 |
| Informed subscore | 100 | 38.2±38.0 | 31.0±31.4 | −8.0 (−14.8 to −1.2) | 0.02 |
| Values clarity subscore | 100 | 27.9±36.1 | 18.4±29.0 | −10.0 (−17.3 to −2.7) | 0.008 |
| Support subscore | 100 | 13.4±20.2 | 11.6±19.5 | −2.0 (−5.7 to 1.7) | 0.29 |
Total score: 0 (no decisional conflict) to 100 (extremely high decisional conflict); subscales: 0 (‘good’, eg, ‘extremely certain’) to 100 (’bad’, eg, ’extremely uncertain’).
