To study the effect of shared decision-making (SDM) on decisional conflict (DC) scores immediately after consultation and to assess the decisional regret (DR) scores in the first 3 months following women's decision regarding termination of pregnancy. This quasi-experimental study was conducted during August 3rd-February 20th, 2016. We included 80 women whose fetuses were diagnosed with β-thalassemia major (β-TM) through chorionic villi sampling and were referred to the only prenatal diagnosis center at Ali-Asghar Hospital, Zahedan, Iran. While the control group went through the routine procedures, the intervention group received a 90-min counseling session based on SDM. The demographic characteristics form and DC scale were filled out immediately after the consultation session. After 3 months, the women were contacted via telephone call to collect data on their level of DR. The mean DC score was significantly (P = < 0.0025) lower in the intervention group (8.47 ± 4.63) compared with the control group (44.10 ± 14.5). Moreover, the mean score of DR was significantly (P = 0.004) lower in the intervention group (9.37 ± 15.44) compared with the control group (24.37 ± 23.42). SDM consultation can help women experience significantly lower levels of DC and DR.

Decision Making: P-value Method

The process of hypothesis testing based on the P-value method includes calculating the P- value using the sample data and interpreting it.
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim  is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses:  a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can...

Decision Making

Decision-making is a fundamental cognitive process that involves evaluating alternatives and selecting among them.

Socioemotional Experience and Gender Development

Social-emotional experiences and cultural influences play significant roles in shaping gender development. During middle childhood, from ages 6 to 11, peer groups become dominant in reinforcing gender norms. Children in this age group often align with same-gender peer groups, which actively encourage behaviors that conform to traditional gender roles. For instance, boys may be discouraged from engaging in activities perceived as feminine, reinforcing culturally dictated norms about masculinity...
