Many researchers who have explored nurse decision making have concluded that decision making is a learned skill that must be taught by nurse educators. Yet little research has been conducted to explore nursing students' decision making. If nurse educators are to teach this skill, it is necessary to have a better understanding of the kinds of decisions students are making in the clinical setting and the factors that influence this process. Once we have a greater knowledge in this area, curricular materials can be developed to ensure this skill is taught throughout an undergraduate education, resulting in graduates who possess strong, independent, and interdependent decision making skills. This article will describe one component (the kinds of decisions) of a larger qualitative case study that explored the kinds of decisions and the factors that influenced nursing students' decision making throughout a baccalaureate degree program.
许多研究护士决策过程的学者得出结论，决策是一项需要由护理教育工作者传授的习得技能。然而，很少有研究探讨护理专业学生的决策过程。如果护理教育工作者要教授这项技能，就有必要更好地了解学生在临床环境中所做决策的类型以及影响这一过程的因素。一旦我们在这一领域有了更深入的了解，就可以开发课程材料，以确保在本科教育阶段都教授这项技能，从而培养出具备强大、独立和相互依赖决策技能的毕业生。本文将描述一个更大规模定性案例研究的一个组成部分（决策类型），该研究探讨了在一个学士学位课程中，护理专业学生所做决策的类型以及影响其决策的因素。
