Relationship Between Nurses' Decision‐Making Styles and Stage‐Specific Missed Care in Oncology: A Nursing Process Perspective
Abstract
Summary Cross‐sectional view misses the crucial, dynamic impact of decision fatigue and cognitive load on shifting nurses' decision‐making styles during a single shift. The protective effect of intuition is a proxy for clinical experience, reflecting expert‐level, recognition‐primed decisions, and is not a universally safe style for all nurses. Integrating AI‐driven Decision Support Systems (CDSS) is proposed as a structural cognitive scaffold to mitigate care omissions that stem from non‐rational decision styles.
