The Control Preferences Scale (CPS) measures patient preferences for medical treatment decision-making roles. It is a clinically relevant, valid, and reliable tool for understanding patient control preferences.

Area of Science:

  • Health Psychology
  • Medical Decision Making
  • Patient-Centered Care

Background:

  • Understanding patient preferences in medical treatment decisions is crucial for effective healthcare.
  • Previous research highlighted the need for a standardized measure of control preferences in healthcare decision-making.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and validate the Control Preferences Scale (CPS) for measuring individuals' desired level of control in medical treatment decisions.
  • To assess the clinical relevance, reliability, and validity of the CPS across diverse populations.

Main Methods:

  • Developed the Control Preferences Scale (CPS) based on grounded theory of treatment decision-making.
  • Utilized a paired comparison format with five distinct decision-making roles.
  • Analyzed preference data using unfolding theory to identify preference distributions and covariate effects.

Main Results:

  • The CPS effectively measures the construct of control preferences in medical treatment decision-making.
  • The scale demonstrated clinical relevance, ease of administration, validity, and reliability in various populations.
  • Unfolding theory analysis provided insights into preference patterns and influencing factors.

Conclusions:

  • The Control Preferences Scale (CPS) is a valuable and psychometrically sound instrument for assessing patient preferences in healthcare decision-making.
  • The CPS can be utilized in clinical settings and research to understand and respect patient autonomy in treatment choices.
