Abstract:
Critical thinking and clinical decision-making are two essential components of nursing services. The practice of nursing requires both components at every level of nurses' daily tasks. This paper describes the protocol for an ongoing project, which aims to examine the prevalence of critical thinking and clinical decision-making among registered nurses and determine the factors that influence the skills at individual and group levels using a multilevel modeling approach. Survey data will be collected from approximately nine states, with nine general hospitals, nine district hospitals, one private hospital, and one educational hospital in Malaysia included. We aim to recruit 800 registered nurses working shifts in hospital settings. We will use questionnaires to measure the perceived nurses' knowledge, critical thinking skills, and clinical decision-making skills. The study will have three levels as the nurses are nested within the unit and further nested within the hospitals. This study will give an insight into the nursing profession today where critical thinking and clinical decision-making skills can play a significant role in patient safety and the quality of care in nursing practice.
