The value of research in clinical decision-making.
Full Abstract
This article examines the application of research-based information in clinical decision-making. In doing so it draws on the findings (and work in progress) of two research projects that seek to contribute to establishing the potential for evidence-based approaches in nursing. The authors conclude that understanding the types of decisions nurses make, their clinical uncertainties and unanswered questions is of value to both researchers, policy makers and practitioners.
