This study investigated information sources nurses use for assessment judgments. Verbal interaction was the most frequent source identified, highlighting its importance in clinical decision-making.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Research
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Healthcare Decision-Making

Background:

  • Simulation tasks and think-aloud techniques are established methods for studying cognitive processes in decision-making and problem-solving.
  • These methodologies have been applied to a limited extent within the nursing profession.
  • Understanding information sources is crucial for effective nursing practice and education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify the primary sources of information utilized by nurses in acute medical and surgical wards for making assessment judgments.
  • To explore the implications of information source and presentation on the validity of simulation tasks in nursing research.

Main Methods:

  • A study involving interviews with 114 nurses from acute medical and surgical wards.

  • Content analysis was employed to analyze the nurses' responses and identify information sources.

    • Main Results:

    • Four principal sources of information were identified among the nurses.
    • Verbal interaction emerged as the most frequently cited source of information used for assessment judgments.
    • The study suggests that the form and source of information in simulations may be as critical as the content itself.

    Conclusions:

    • Verbal interaction is a key information source for nurses' assessment judgments in acute care settings.
    • Considering the presentation and source of information in simulation tasks is essential for enhancing their validity in nursing research.
    • Further research should explore how different information presentation methods impact nursing decision-making processes.
