Reliability and Validity of Korean Version of Nursing Students' Anxiety and Self-Confidence with Clinical Decision Making Scale

A Concept Analysis of Nurses’ Clinical Decision Making: Implications for Korea

“…Clinical decision making requires the intuition necessary to prevent disease and promote the patient’s health under certain principles. It is the ability to cope with and resolve the patient’s behavior, which means the power to handle the nursing task [ 6 , 17 ].…”

“…Second, for the consequences of nurses’ clinical decision making, the patient’s psychological well-being and comfort improves when provided with nursing. Thus, nurses’ clinical decision-making ability acts as a positive predictor [ 32 ] and makes patients think that they are receiving high-quality nursing services [ 8 , 17 ]. As a result, nurses develop a sense of accomplishment and gain high satisfaction with their clinical decision making [ 15 , 20 , 33 ].…”

“…All the previous relevant studies cited proper clinical decision making as a key competency of nurses [ 17 , 20 , 22 , 27 , 32 ]. Proper clinical decision making by nurses has helped nurses flexibly cope with the changes in the clinical practice field and in the medical environment [ 9 , 17 , 21 ], and has helped them accomplish their tasks in crisis situations.…”

The Korean version of the Virtual Patient Learning System Evaluation Tool: Assessment of reliability and validity

Because, Unlike the U.S., where students use their intuition by recognizing and observing patient information and clues on their own ( White, 2011 ), the clinical practice environment in Korea has low autonomy in clinical decision-making among nursing students ( Yu et al, 2019 ). Since they have been educated in different nursing educational environments, there may be differences in how students accept and learn from virtual patient simulation education, so it is necessary to confirm its applicability to Korean nursing students.…”
