Decision Style Inventory Application in Parent/Guardian Vaccination Decision-Making: A Pilot Study
Introduction:
Cases of preventable diseases continue to occur globally. Much literature is present about barriers and factors that influence vaccination, but little is known about psychologically ingrained decision-making styles and their relationship with vaccination decisions.
Design/Methods:
This quantitative descriptive cross-sectional pilot study aimed to explore using an established tool, the Decision Style Inventory (Rowe & Mason, 1987), in parents/guardians of children 2 months to 20 years old.
Results:
Nineteen parents/guardians participated in this study and provided positive feedback on the Decision Style Inventory (Rowe & Mason, 1987). Descriptive statistics revealed vaccination decisions occurred more frequently with certain decision styles.
Conclusions:
Further research examining associations between decision styles and vaccination decisions is warranted. The findings of such research could lead to new tool development that integrates external factors and parental decision-making style. This new tool could allow healthcare providers to select targeted interventions that holistically address parental vaccination decisions.
