Zusammenfassung	The Decisional Conflict Scale (DCS) is a 16-item self-reported outcome measure that quantifies the degree of uncertainty, value ambivalence, and decision distress experienced by patients facing healthcare choices. Developed by Annette O'Connor in 1995, the DCS assesses five core domains: personal uncertainty, understanding of options and outcomes, clarity of personal values, perceived social support, and confidence in making the decision. It has become the gold standard for measuring decisional conflict in healthcare research and clinical trials of decision support interventions.	The SURE Test is a four-item screening questionnaire designed to rapidly identify patients experiencing decisional conflict—uncertainty or difficulty in making healthcare decisions. Developed by Annette O'Connor and colleagues, the SURE Test is an abbreviated, practical version of the longer Decisional Conflict Scale (DCS), created to detect patients who may benefit from decision support or additional counselling. It is widely used in clinical and research settings for quick, valid screening.
