Decisional Conflicts in Patients With Low-Risk Papillary Thyroid Microcarcinomas Considering Active Surveillance
This qualitative study found that patients with low-risk papillary thyroid microcarcinomas experienced clinically significant decisional conflicts and experienced considerable challenges and psychological problems in decision-making. The antecedents of decisional conflicts and accompanying mediating processes can provide guidance for individuals, health care professionals, and health care systems to provide decision support for patients with low-risk papillary thyroid microcarcinomas.
