Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The exploratory key endpoint was decisional conflict, as measured by the Decisional Conflict Scale (DCS). The questionnaire ranges from 0 to 100 and is widely used to assess comfort in the decision-making process. Higher DCS scores indicate higher decisional conflict. In both groups, we measured the decisional conflict from the perspective of the women with MS (before starting the respective intervention and after two weeks). For the decision coaching programme, decisional conflict was additionally measured from the perspective of the decision coach (nurse) after the decision coaching session.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1.Involvement of participants in the decision-making process 2.Participants' knowledge of MS and pregnancy 3.Participants' concerns and attitudes towards motherhood with MS 4.Barriers and facilitators for the implementation of the intervention
