Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Decision Conflict Scale (DCS) | This scale measures patients' perception of uncertainty in making health-related decisions and consists of 3 subscales: (1) uncertainty choosing between different options, (2) modifiable factors contributing to this uncertainty—feeling uninformed, unclear about personal values, and feeling unsupported, and (3) perceived effectiveness of the decision—making an informed and values-based choice and expressing satisfaction with the decision. We used the validated statement format Decisional Conflict Scale, consisting of 16 items with 5 response options. Total scores range from 0 (no decisional conflict) to 100 (extremely high decisional conflict). | Day 1 | |
Secondary | QuickDASH (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand) Questionnaire | The short form of the Disabilities of Arm Shoulder and Hand to assess upper extremity disability. The scale range is from 0-100, where 0 is no difficulty performing tasks and 100 is the most difficulty or unable to complete any tasks. | Day 1 | |
Secondary | Patient Health Questionnaire-2 (PHQ-2) | The PHQ-2 screens for depressive mood over the past 2 weeks. The score ranges from 0-6, where 0 is not at all depressed and 6 is major depression. | Day 1 | |
Secondary | Consultation and Relational Empathy (CARE) Measure | The CARE measure is a 10-item questionnaire capturing patient perception of the physician's empathetic understanding under the office visit. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale, yielding a total score from 0-50. A higher score indicates greater empathy. | Day 1 | |
Secondary | 11-point Ordinal Satisfaction Scale | The patient satisfaction scale measures how satisfied a patient is with their treatment for their thumb arthritis. Patients score satisfaction on a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 is not satisfied and 10 is extremely satisfied. | Day 1 | |
Secondary | Change in Decision Regret Scale After 6 Weeks and 6 Months | Change in the Decision Regret Scale, which measures distress or remorse after a health care decision. The scale consists of 5 questions, which range from strongly agree to strongly disagree, scoring 0-100 with higher scores indicating more regret. | 6 week and 6 month follow up |
