Summary: This study assessed the psychometric qualities of the Decision Regret Scale in measuring decision regret in ordinary life scenarios. The scale demonstrated excellent metric properties even outside medical contexts, expanding its potential applications. The results showed correlations between decision regret and decision-making style as well as regulatory modes, pointing to its predictive value in evaluating individuals' decision-making and self-regulation.

Summary: This study aims to identify and evaluate the quality of COVID-19 patient decision aids (PtDAs). The findings show that there are few publicly available online COVID-19 PtDAs, and none of them are about COVID-19 vaccination boosters or treatment. The existing PtDAs scored poorly on actionability and did not meet all IPDAS criteria for minimizing risk of biased decisions.

Summary: The prevailing theory of regret in psychological literature may be too restrictive, as regret can also be elicited by circumstances forcing a choice inconsistent with one's intentions, regardless of outcome valence. Regret is influenced by external circumstances and a complex emotional constellation can be produced by decision-making, involving various emotions such as anger, disappointment, and satisfaction.

Summary: Currently, marketing is experiencing a significant transformation due to environmental disruptions and advances in marketing technologies. This study addresses the limited research on how marketing managers navigate the complex, volatile, and data-intensive nature of modern marketing environments. By qualitatively analyzing decision-making processes in 15 companies, the study identifies three key characteristics, namely agility, inventiveness, and reflexiveness. The findings provide insights into the cognitive and behavioral processes involved in marketing decision-making and contribute to understanding how managers respond to challenges in modern marketing environments.

Summary: Clinicians should pay more attention to patients' prognostic information, rather than being limited to predictive subgroups or biomarkers. Different treatment decisions can be made based on individual patient prognosis and clinical outcomes of interest, taking into account patients' goals and values. Well-informed patient-specific decision-making can be carried out by estimating key parameters, using prognostic information, and specifying joint utility functions.

Summary: Entrepreneurs, especially those in uncertain environments, rely heavily on heuristics when making strategic decisions. In our study, we conducted 27 semi-structured interviews with founders of newly established ventures to identify the heuristics they used and analyzed their roles and functions. Our findings indicate that heuristics are the primary decision-making strategy for inexperienced entrepreneurs, which help with organizing the venture, projecting the founder's identity onto their ventures, and exchanging information between the venture and the market. We also introduce a new type of heuristics called metacognitive heuristics.

Summary: Multi-attribute decision making (MADM) is a crucial part of modern decision sciences, with three-way decisions (3WD) being able to reduce decision risks and improve accuracy compared to traditional two-way decisions (2WD). This paper presents a new 3WD-MADM model based on probabilistic dominance relations, and validates its effectiveness through comparative and experimental analyses.

Summary: Screening for pulmonary fibrosis in undiagnosed first-degree relatives showed minimal psychological impact, with over 90% reporting no or mild decisional regret. However, increased measures of decisional regret and negative feelings were observed in those with low carbon monoxide diffusion capacity or interstitial lung abnormalities. Telomere length and genetic testing results did not significantly affect regret.

Summary: This study examined the process of integrating a patient decision aid for symptomatic uterine fibroids into Epic EHR systems. Key facilitators included clinical champions advocating for integration, experienced technologists guiding software analysts, and the use of an industry standard app platform. Major barriers were lack of control over the product, periodic Epic upgrades, and unforeseen software problems.

Summary: The study found that rectal cancer significantly impacts patients' lives in various ways, including daily activities, self-identity, intimacy, and mental health. Patients require personalized care, counseling, and information for better medical experiences and outcomes. Surgeons need to improve their understanding of patient experiences and provide more comprehensive counseling in key areas like intimacy and mental health.

Summary: This study evaluated the effectiveness of an intervention to improve disease activity-based management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The intervention, called DAS-pass strategy, aimed to increase patients' knowledge about disease activity and empower them to participate in treatment decisions. Although the intervention did not significantly affect patient empowerment, attitudes towards medication, or disease activity, it did lead to a significant improvement in knowledge about disease activity among the intervention group compared to the control group, particularly for patients with low baseline knowledge.

Summary: The concept of co-production of health involves collaborative work between users and professionals, taking various forms such as co-design and co-construction, to facilitate the design and improvement of healthcare services. Research shows that co-production can generate value for patients and health systems, and promote learning and improvement through the integration of supportive technologies.

Summary: A study was conducted to examine the impact of using encounter patient decision aids (ePDAs) on the clinical practice of Dutch and American clinicians. The findings showed that ePDAs had several impacts on the patient-clinician dialogue. Based on clinicians' experiences, recommendations were made to improve ePDA use, such as adding pictorial health information and providing flexible and personalized instructions for clinicians.
