| Popis: | OBJECTIVE: To assess the psychometric properties of the 16-item Decisional Conflict Scale (DCS) in surrogate decision makers. METHODS: With a sample of 472 surrogates from intensive care units in five academic medical centers across the United States, we performed the analysis in five phases to 1) model the congeneric structure with confirmatory factor analysis and assess 2) internal consistency reliability, 3) the unidimensional or global assessment, 4) factorial invariance across surrogate gender, and 5) individual item influence on the domains. RESULTS: The congeneric model fit the data, with all factor loadings (0.577–0.955) statistically significant at p |
