Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Decision conflict | Immediately after patient received standard oral explanation with booklet or decision aids at out-patient department | We'd like to measure the score of SURE test, which published by Légaré at 2008, as a decisional conflict scale. SURE includes 4 questions representing sure of myself, understand information, risk-benefit ratio, encouragement. Each question consisted of a typical five-level Likert item (strongly disagree, disagree, neither agree nor disagree, agree, strongly agree). |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Health literacy | Immediately after patient received standard oral explanation with booklet or decision aids at out-patient department | Self-evaluation score of health literacy. We measure health literacy via one question of SURE test (Sure of myself - Do you feel SURE about the best choice for you?). This question also consisted of a typical five-level Likert item (strongly disagree, disagree, neither agree nor disagree, agree, strongly agree). |
