Decisional Conflict Scale

The Decisional Conflict Scale is a tool used to measure how comfortable and certain someone feels about a difficult healthcare decision. It assesses feelings of uncertainty, unclear information, or doubt about choosing the best option. A higher score indicates more conflict or hesitancy, while a lower score suggests confidence and clarity. Healthcare providers use this scale to identify patients who may need more information or support to make informed choices, ultimately helping ensure decisions are aligned with the patient's values and preferences.
