    • Healthcare Management
    • Risk Assessment

    Background:

    • The nursing profession faces growing pressure for individuals and organizations to assume greater risks.
    • Nurses are expected to make independent decisions at both individual and collective levels, often involving risk.
    • Historically, nursing's autonomy in decision-making for client care and practice policies has lacked support and endorsement.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the phenomenon of risk-taking in nursing practice.
    • To understand the factors influencing nurses' willingness to make informed decisions involving risk.
    • To examine the interplay between perceived rewards and potential consequences in nurses' risk-assumption behaviors.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review on risk-taking in nursing.

    • Main Results:

    • A significant number of nurses value risk-taking and are prepared to make informed decisions.
    • Nurses' willingness to assume risks is influenced by various factors.
    • The timing and manner of risk assumption are context-dependent.

    Conclusions:

    • Nurses are increasingly embracing risk-taking as an integral part of their professional roles.
    • Understanding the multifaceted influences on nursing risk-taking is crucial for supporting informed decision-making.
    • Further research is needed to fully elucidate the dynamics of risk assumption in nursing practice and policy development.
