Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to identify factors related to nurses' clinical decision-making ability. Methods: This study adopted a survey design using questionnaires targeting 163 nurses working at a university hospital in Seoul. Data were analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression analysis, Pearson correlation coefficients, independent t-test, and analysis of variance ANOVA. Results: Research showed that factors related to nurses' clinical decision-making ability were age, work type, clinical career, number of patients in charge, professional self-concept, job attachment, and nursing work performance. The regression model was significant and the explanatory power of the model was 75%. Conclusion: Based on the results, we propose future research to identify various factors according to the clinical decision-making ability of nurses in each department, considering the characteristics of domestic hospitals, and to develop a program that can be specifically designed and verified.
