“…These results correspond to the findings of previous studies, which reported high scores for the evaluation and re‐evaluation of consequences and relatively low scores for the search for alternatives or options (Kang et al. ; Baek ). However, the results differed from those of Girot (), who reported even scores across the subscales.…”

“…Regarding the clinical decision-making ability subscales, the highest score was recorded for the evaluation and re-evaluation of consequences, followed by the search for information, canvassing of objectives and values and search for alternatives or options. These results correspond to the findings of previous studies, which reported high scores for the evaluation and re-evaluation of consequences and relatively low scores for the search for alternatives or options (Kang et al 2011;Baek 2005). However, the results differed from those of Girot (2000), who reported even scores across the subscales.…”

“…The nurses’ clinical decision‐making abilities in this study were lower than those reported for British nurses measured using the same instrument (Girot ), but similar to the results reported for enterostomal therapy nurses (Baek ) and general nurses (Kang et al. ). Regarding the clinical decision‐making ability subscales, the highest score was recorded for the evaluation and re‐evaluation of consequences, followed by the search for information, canvassing of objectives and values and search for alternatives or options.…”

Aim This study study aimed to investigate the effects of explicit and tacit knowledge sharing on clinical decision‐making abilities and the mediating role of trust among registered nurses at Korean hospitals. Background Decision‐making abilities comprise a key area of nursing practice and link nurses’ perceptions with behaviours. Introduction Tacit knowledge is embedded within an individual and cannot be expressed or transmitted to other people in a specific form. Over time, new nurses gradually gain experience and tacit knowledge and become experts. Trust, an organizational characteristic, may serve as a potential mediator in the association between knowledge sharing and decision‐making abilities among nurses. However, few studies have investigated the mediatory role of trust in this association. Method The data were collected from 210 nurses selected via random sampling. The research instrument in the model included Knowledge‐Sharing Behavior, Trust, and Clinical Decision‐Making in Nursing Scale. Structural equation modelling was used to analyse the collected data. Findings The study findings showed that explicit knowledge sharing directly affects decision‐making abilities, whereas tacit knowledge sharing is only associated with decision‐making abilities when trust plays a mediating role. Discussion A higher level of organizational trust can improve clinical decision‐making abilities via tacit knowledge sharing. Conclusion This study demonstrated that unlike explicit knowledge, which is shared more easily, tacit knowledge sharing does not directly lead to clinical decision‐making abilities. A higher level of organizational trust leads to a stronger beneficial effect of tacit knowledge sharing on clinical decision‐making abilities. Implications for nursing and health policy These findings concerning the mediatory role of trust on the association between knowledge sharing and clinical decision‐making abilities provide new knowledge that will allow nurses, managers, and researchers to support the clinical decision‐making abilities of nurses.

Purpose: This study was performed to identify the effects of self-leadership and job involvement on clinical competence in general hospital nurses. Methods: The participants in this study were 443 staff nurses working in general hospitals and having more than 6 months of nursing experience. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires. Results: There were significant positive correlations between nurses' self-leadership and job involvement, and between nurses' self-leadership and clinical competence. In the multiple regression analysis, clinical career, type of department and self-leadership were significant predictors in explaining nurses' clinical competence and accounted for 28% of the variance in nurses' clinical competence. Conclusion: Study findings suggest that nurses' self-leadership is defined as having an important influence on nurses' clinical competence. In order to strengthen nurses' clinical competence, there is a need to develop education programs to increase nurses' self-leadership.

Objective:To analyze nurses' competencies with regard to their work in post-operative heart surgery and the strategies implemented to mobilize these competencies. Method: This was an exploratory study with a qualitative approach and a methodological design of collective case study. It was carried out in three post-operative heart surgery units, consisting of 18 nurses. Direct observation and semi-structured interviews were employed to collect data. Data were construed through thematic analysis. Results: nine competencies were found, as follows: theoretical-practical knowledge; high-complexity nursing care; nursing supervision; leadership in nursing; decision making; conflict management; personnel management; material and financial resources management; and on-job continued education. Organizational and individual strategies were employed to develop and improve competencies such as regular offerings of courses and lectures, in addition to the individual pursuit for knowledge and improvement. Conclusion: the study is expected to lead future nurses and training centers to evaluate the need for furthur training required to work in cardiac units, and also the need for implementing programs aimed at developing the competencies of these professionals.
