Summary
Tacit knowledge, acquired through experience, is intuitive and personal. This review analyzes its definition, characteristics, and crucial role in nursing clinical decision-making and knowledge management.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Science
- Knowledge Management
- Clinical Decision-Making
Background:
- Tacit knowledge is intuitive, unconscious, and experience-based, often termed 'know-how'.
- It's recognized across disciplines for its role in knowledge creation and clinical decision-making.
- Understanding tacit knowledge is vital for advancing nursing practice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review and analyze the definition and characteristics of tacit knowledge.
- To determine the specific role of tacit knowledge within the nursing discipline.
- To synthesize existing literature on tacit knowledge in nursing.
Main Methods:
- An integrative literature review was conducted.
- Searches included databases: CUIDEN, SciELO, PubMed, Cochrane, and CINAHL up to November 2016.
- Content analysis was performed by two researchers on 35 selected articles.
Main Results:
- Identified 35 relevant articles from 819 initial results.
- Found no consensus on the terminology or description of tacit knowledge outcomes.
- Highlighted personal and social characteristics of tacit knowledge, linked to a 'mindline' mental structure influencing clinical decisions.
Conclusions:
- Existing research offers limited depth on tacit knowledge in nursing.
- A framework is proposed to clarify tacit knowledge concepts and its management in nursing.
- Further research is needed to fully integrate tacit knowledge into nursing knowledge management.

A difference amplifier, a crucial component in numerous electronic devices, ideally amplifies only the difference-mode signal, which is the difference between two input signals. However, in practical circuits, the output voltage depends on both the differential gain and the common-mode gain.
The ratio of differential gain to the common-mode gain is defined as the common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR). This ratio quantifies the ability of operational amplifiers (op-amps) to reject common-mode...

18.0K
Theories play an essential role in organizing patient care. Theories refer to a proposed or followed belief, policy, or procedure that is the basis for action. Nursing theories are knowledge-based concepts that guide nurses' actions, influence nursing education and practice, and allow nurses to care for their patients.
Theories provide a perspective to assess patients' conditions and organize data and methods. They also assist in analyzing and interpreting information. They represent a...

Biology is a natural science that studies life and living organisms, including their structure, function, development, interactions, evolution, distribution, and taxonomy. The field's scope is extensive and divided into several specialized disciplines, such as anatomy, physiology, ethology, genetics, and many more. All living things share a few key traits, including cellular organization, heritable genetic material and the ability to adapt/evolve, metabolism to regulate energy needs, the...

01:20Characteristics of Fluids
8.2K
When a force is applied parallel to the top surface of a solid, it resists the applied force due to the internal frictional forces between the layers of the solid known as shearing resistance. However, when the force is removed, the shearing forces restore the original shape of the solid. Other deformation forces also cause temporary changes in shape if the forces are not beyond a threshold magnitude. Solids tend to retain their shape, making the study of their rest and motion easier. Beyond...

01:31Characteristics of Fluids
1.1K
Fluids differ from solids primarily in their molecular structure and stress response. Solids have tightly packed molecules with strong intermolecular forces, maintaining their shape and resisting deformation. In contrast, fluids have molecules spaced farther apart with weaker forces, allowing them to flow and deform easily.
Fluids, which include both liquids and gases, are substances that deform continuously under shearing stress. For example, water and oil are liquids with molecules that can...

The Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT), specifically in a common-emitter configuration, exhibits distinct current-voltage characteristics crucial for understanding its behavior in electronic circuits. These characteristics are established through experimental measurements of voltage and current relationships.
For input characteristics, the base-emitter voltage is varied, maintaining a constant collector-emitter voltage. This setup reveals a Shockley-type dependence of the collector current on...
