Area of Science:

  • Nursing Science
  • Healthcare Education
  • Cognitive Psychology

Background:

  • Modern nursing demands autonomous decision-making from clinicians.
  • Registered nurses (RNs) frequently exhibit deficits in effective decision-making skills.
  • Factors influencing poor decision-making include stereotyping, cultural bias, and the tendency for rapid judgments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify essential skills for effective clinical decision-making in registered nurses.
  • To explore existing literature on clinical decision-making and educational strategies.
  • To present an educational program designed to enhance cognitive skills in nursing decision-making.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on clinical decision-making and skill development in nursing.
  • Analysis of an educational program developed by the authors.
  • Examination of skills fostered by the program to improve decision-making.

Main Results:

  • The literature lacks specific delineation of required decision-making skills and educational interventions for nurses.
  • An educational program demonstrated the potential to facilitate the development of cognitive skills in clinical decision-making.
  • Specific skills were identified within the program that enhance nurses' decision-making processes.

Conclusions:

  • Effective clinical decision-making is crucial for contemporary nursing practice.
  • Targeted educational strategies can improve the cognitive skills necessary for sound nursing decisions.
  • Further development and implementation of such programs are recommended to support RNs.
