Clinical judgement and decision‐making in nursing – nine modes of practice in a revised cognitive continuum

Abstract: The revised cognitive continuum promotes awareness of the nature and the variety of patient-centred judgement tasks and decisions in nursing, how to select the most suitable intervention tactic from available options, and the fallibility of all forms of human judgement from intuitive/experiential to analytic/rational. Hence, it is recommended for use as an educational tool and practice guide to facilitate theory development and the practice of judgement and decision-making in nursing.

“…Indeed, Hammond, Hamm, Grassia, and Pearson (1987) empirically tested and found support for these predictions in judgments of expert highway engineers and others have found similar support in for CCT in domains such as nursing (Standing, 2008), management, (Dhami & Thomson, 2012), and social work (Van de Luitgaarden, 2009).…”

“…The high frequency of decisions requires nurses to have a rapid response to any changes. Patients in ICUs are always seriously ill, unstable and unpredicted and thereby nurses have to make decisions based on sudden and ill structured tasks, unexpected outcomes and complicated goals [12]. Consequently, nurses in ICUs would not have adequate time to choose analytical reasoning to make decisions step by step but to choose a faster means of making decisions.…”

“…Intuitive thought is suggested to be a sub-conscious decision process that is difficult to conceptualise but linked to emotion (Hammond 1996), whilst remaining largely invisible when attempting to articulate it (Standing 2008). Strick and Dijksterhuis (2011) suggest that intuition uses senses, feelings and thoughts to provide a depth of understanding that is linked to emotions.…”
