Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify factors influencing the clinical decision making ability of nurses in long-term care hospitals. Data were collected from 174 nurses working in long-term care hospitals in G-do from October 11 to December 10, 2021. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation and stepwise multiple regression through the SPSS 23.0. As a result of the study, the clinical decision making ability was positively correlated with critical thinking disposition(r=.494, p<.001) and nursing work environment(r=.451, p<.001). Critical thinking disposition and nursing work environment explained 33.1% of clinical decision making ability. In order to improve the clinical decision making ability, which is the core competency of nurses, education to increase critical thinking disposition and the creation of a desirable nursing work environment are necessary. In future research, research to identify various variables affecting the clinical decision making ability of nursing hospital nurses, and research for the development and effectiveness of programs to improve clinical decision making ability are suggested.

본 연구의 목적은 요양병원 간호사의 임상의사결정능력에 미치는 영향요인을 규명하기 위함이다. 2021년 10월 11일부터 12월 10일까지 G도 소재 요양병원 간호사 174명을 대상으로 조사하였다. 수집된 자료의 분석은 SPSS 23.0을 이용하여 서술통계, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, stepwise multiple regression으로 분석하였다. 연구결과 연구대상자의 임상의사결정능력은 비판적 사고성향(r=.494, p<.001), 간호근무환경(r=.451, p<.001)과 양의 상관관계를 나타내었으며, 비판적 사고성향과 간호근무환경이 임상의사결정능력을 33.1% 설명하였다. 간호사의 핵심능력인 임상의사결정능력의 향상을 위해서는 비판적 사고성향을 높이는 교육과 바람직한 간호근무환경 조성이 필요하다. 추후연구에서는 요양병원 간호사의 임상의사결정능력에 영향을 미치는 다양한 변수를 확인하는 연구와 임상의사결정능력 향상을 위한 프로그램 개발 및 효과를 위한 연구를 제언한다.
