Abstract
- Objective: This study was undertaken to modify and validate the Satisfaction with Decision Scale and Decision Regret Scale for women who have undergone surgery for pelvic floor disorders.<br />Study Design: We adapted the Satisfaction with Decision Scale and Decision Regret Scale for women with pelvic floor disorders. Forty-five women who underwent surgery for pelvic floor disorders were enrolled postoperatively and completed the Satisfaction with Decision Scale-Pelvic Floor Disorders and Decision Regret Scale-Pelvic Floor Disorders on 2 occasions, 1 week apart.<br />Results: Face and content validity of the Satisfaction with Decision Scale-Pelvic Floor Disorders and Decision Regret Scale-Pelvic Floor Disorders were confirmed by patient interviews and expert panel. The Satisfaction with Decision Scale-Pelvic Floor Disorders and Decision Regret Scale-Pelvic Floor Disorders were internally consistent (Cronbach's alpha: .95 and .88, respectively) and reproducible (intraclass correlations: 0.82 and 0.84, respectively). Larger improvements between preoperative and postoperative Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 and Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire-7 scores were positively correlated with the Satisfaction with Decision Scale-Pelvic Floor Disorders (r = 0.42 and 0.49, respectively), and negatively correlated with the Decision Regret Scale-Pelvic Floor Disorders (r = -0.60 and -0.63, respectively). The Satisfaction with Decision Scale-Pelvic Floor Disorders and Decision Regret Scale-Pelvic Floor Disorders were negatively correlated with each other (r = -0.55).<br />Conclusion: The Satisfaction with Decision Scale-Pelvic Floor Disorders and Decision Regret Scale-Pelvic Floor Disorders are reliable and valid decision-making outcome measures for women with pelvic floor disorders.
