Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Decision conflict

    Decision conflict was measured by Decision conflict scale(DCS). The scale consists of 16 items into 5 subscales: Uncertainty(3 items), Informed(3 items), values clarity(3 items), support(3 items), and effective decision(4 items) that are rated on a 5-point likert-scale from "strongly agree" (0) to "strongly disagree" (4). The sum of scores are calculated from 0 to 100. The higher the score, the higher the level of decision conflict.

    before the counseling (T0), immediately after counseling(T1)

  • Decisional self-efficiency

    Decision self-efficiency was measured by Decisional Self-Efficiency Scale(DSES). The scale represents self-confidence or belief in decision making. The scale consists of 11 items that are rated on a 5-point likert-scale from "not at all confident" (0) to" very confident "(4) . The sum of scores are calculated from 0 to 100. The higher the score, the higher the level of self-confidence.

    before the counseling (T0), immediately after counseling(T1)

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Decision control preference

    one month after treatment (T2)

  • Decision control preference

    before the counseling (T0), immediately after counseling(T1)

QPL group

EXPERIMENTAL

receive 2-pages ESRD QPL leaflets, circle the questions they want to ask before consultation. encourage asking questions with doctor during consultation. receive the nurse-led coaching of shared decision-making (SDM)

Behavioral: Question prompt list

Usual care group

NO INTERVENTION

without receiving provision of QPL encourage asking questions with doctor during consultation. receive the nurse-led coaching of shared decision-making (SDM)
