Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
1. Coefficient SDM-MASS of the MAPPIN'SDM inventory 2. Components of the coefficient SDM-MASS of the MAPPIN'SDM inventory in comparison to: 2.1. OPTION (observing patient involvement) scale 2.2. SDM-Q 2.3. Dyadic coding scales (DCS) 3. Coefficient ELAB composed from the QUiCC24 questionnaire 4. As it is considered important that the trial does not negatively affect the practice process by burdening doctors and patients too much, measurement is limited to the necessary amount of instruments. Most of the measures were tested in previous studies to explore item properties and validity. In particular measures were selected to assess: 4.1. Both parties? involvement in the decision making process using the SDM-MASS coefficient from the MAPPIN?SDM inventory, including video taping, questionnaires (15 items) from physician and patient 4.2. The patients? perception of SDM using the SDM-Q (9 items) 4.3. To which extent involvement (in terms of SDM) impacts on the dyadic perception of decisional conflict using the Decisional Conflict scale (16 items to be administered by physicians and patients) 4.4. The pattern of uncertainty as it is represented in the patients? cognitive system using the ELAB coefficient from the QUiCC24 (24 items to be administered by the patient before and after the consultation)	—
