To develop and psychometrically validate the Satisfaction with Decision scale to quantify patient satisfaction with specific medical choices.
Evaluated the 6-item scale among patients making decisions regarding postmenopausal hormone-replacement therapy.
Assessed internal reliability via Cronbach's alpha and discriminant validity using principal-components analysis alongside related decision-making measures.
Examined generalizability in an independent cohort evaluating intentions to obtain an influenza vaccination.
The 6-item Satisfaction with Decision scale demonstrated high internal reliability with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.86 and exhibited good discriminant validity.
The scale correlated most strongly with decisional confidence (r = 0.64), least with desire to participate and provider satisfaction, and predicted decision certainty.
Scores significantly correlated with patient intentions to receive an influenza vaccination in an independent sample.
