Psychometric Evaluation of the Chinese Version of Decisional Conflict Scale in Chinese Young Women Making HPV Vaccination Decisions.
The Decisional Conflict Scale (DCS) is a well-known scale for measuring personal decisional conflict, particularly when a person feels uninformed about the risks/benefits of choices, is unclear about personal values, and feels unsupported in making a choice. Higher scores of DCS indicate higher decisional conflict. In the present study, we aimed to assess the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the DCS among Chinese young women making HPV vaccination decisions. ⋯ The DCS-10 demonstrated good model fit to the data. By using the DCS-10 total score rather than sub-scores to measure Chinese young women's HPV vaccination decisional conflict a more valid assessment can be obtained.

Non-Adherence to Antiepileptic Drugs and Associated Factors among Epileptic Patients at Ambulatory Clinic of Southwestern Ethiopian Hospital: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Non-adherence to anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) was the most common drug therapy issue that hampered epileptic patients' treatment success. As a result, the barriers to patients adhering to their treatment should be investigated in depth in order to prevent poor treatment outcomes. ⋯ The magnitude of non-adherences to AEDs was found to be high. Phenobarbitone was the most prescribed AEDs. The number of medications taken by the patients, the presence of co-morbidity and the occurrence of medication side effects had a significant association with non-adherence to AEDs. Therefore, the pharmaceutical care in general and drug information services in particular should be established to enhance medication adherence in our study area.
