摘要
To operationally define clinical decision-making as it relates to intensive care unit nursing. Clinical decision-making is an intricate cognitive process that is demanding on intensive care nurses due to the severity of their patients’ illnesses, consistent exposure to high-stakes situations, and prevalent patient mortality. When compromised, it can lead to adverse patient events. However, clinical decision-making specific to the intensive care unit is a concept seldom defined in nursing research. Concept analysis. Using Walker and Avant’s eight-step method, nursing databases were searched for studies between 1980 and 2022 describing the antecedents, defining attributes, consequences, and empirical referents of clinical decision-making in the intensive setting. Intensive care unit clinical decision-making is a complex cognitive process in which nurses recognize a clinical problem in their patient and respond promptly by implementing interventions to improve their patient’s rapidly and frequently changing health status to a more favorable condition in an intensive care setting. The defining attributes are: assessment of the patient situation, prompt recognition of cues, efficient comprehension of patient data abnormalities, prior knowledge and experience, prompt response to the clinical problem(s), colleague collaboration, formulation of interventions to treat clinical problem(s), and appraisal of risks/benefits. Intensive care unit clinical decision-making is a skill that is different from traditional clinical decision-making in nursing. Prompt action characterizes this concept due to the unstable health status of these patients. More research on this concept is needed to enhance nurse performance and patient outcomes in intensive care. A definition of this concept opens doors for potential studies on promoting effective decision-making among intensive care nurses. This can improve the safety and outcomes of critically ill patients. Additionally, it generates new questions regarding how nursing schools and hospital orientation programs can promote and develop competent decision-making skills in future intensive care nurses.
