Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Nursing Care Decision Support System: Phase Two involves implementing the Nursing Care Decision Support System. Data will be collected using a Descriptive Information Form, the Nurse Decision-Making Scale (pre-test), and a Semi-Structured Interview Form to explore nurses' views. Nurses will receive two training sessions (totaling 4 hours) covering system use, importance, challenges, and solutions. Training will be held in two groups based on shift schedules. A one-week trial will follow, with the researcher answering questions and providing support via a WhatsApp group. Nurses must use the system for at least 15 days (maximum 30 days due to dissertation timeline). Fifteen days after use ends, the Nurse Decision-Making Scale (post-test) and interviews will assess the system's effectiveness and areas for improvement.

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Nurse Decision-Making Scale — two week
  The scale was developed by Lauri and Salanterä in 2002 . The Turkish version's validity and reliability study was conducted by Demir and Yılmaz in 2021. The scale consists of 24 items and is unidimensional. It is rated on a five-point Likert scale: "Always-5, Frequently-4, Sometimes-3, Rarely-2, Never-1." The total score ranges from 24 to 120, with higher scores indicating better decision-making skills. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the original scale was .84 , while it was found to be .97 in the Turkish version.
