OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate if the addition of a decision @entity3224 (DA) decreases decisional conflict in @entity1 presenting for the management and treatment of @entity3577 ( @entity3577 ). METHODS: @entity1 scheduled for the evaluation and management of @entity3577 were randomized into either of 2 groups: standard counseling (SC) alone (n = 51) or SC plus a DA (n = 53). Upon completion of their initial visit, @entity1 filled out a 16-item decisional conflict scale and short form general health survey. Values were assessed for normality and compared between groups. Normally distributed, continuous data were evaluated with a Student t test. A    test was used to compare selected categorical characteristics between groups. Differences in distributions of low and high decisional conflict were assessed with a Mann-Whitney U test. RESULTS: One hundred four @entity1 were randomized for this analysis. Baseline characteristics, including pelvic prolapse examination measurements, did not significantly differ between groups. The addition of a DA to SC did not significantly lower the level decisional conflict @entity1 faced when deciding on a treatment plan (P = 0.566). There were no significant differences between groups in the following subscores: uncertainty, values clarity, support, effective decision, and informed. In addition, there were no between-group differences in choice of treatment plan (conservative management, pelvic floor physical therapy, pessary, and surgery; P = 0.835). CONCLUSIONS: In this relatively small sample, the addition of a DA to SC for @entity1 with @entity3577 does not significantly decrease the level of decisional conflict in making treatment-related decisions.
