EVALUATION OF THE RELATIONSHIPS AMONG MINDFULNESS, CLINICAL DECISION-MAKING, AND NURSING CARE COMPETENCE IN INTENSIVE CARE NURSES

Öz

Aim: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the relationships among nursing care competence, mindfulness, and clinical decision-making among intensive care nurses. Methods: The study was conducted with 152 nurses working in the intensive care clinics of a training and research hospital. Data were collected using the Descriptive Information Form, the Mindfulness in Nursing Care Scale (MNCS), the Intensive and Critical Care Nursing Competence Scale (ICCN-CS-1TR) and the Nursing Decision Making Instrument (NDMI). Data analysis was performed using descriptive frequency tables, Mann–Whitney U test, Kruskal–Wallis test, Spearman correlation analysis and binary logistic regression analysis. Results: A positive, moderate and statistically significant correlation was found between mindfulness and both the total and subdimension scores of nursing competence (respectively r: 0,563; p <0.01, r: 0,500; p <0.01, r: 0,564; p <0.01, r: 0,537; p <0.01). Positive and significant associations were found between mindfulness and knowledge-, skill-, attitude-, and value-based nursing competencies. Furthermore, the logistic regression analysis revealed that for each one-unit increase in the total mindfulness score, the likelihood of achieving an excellent level of intensive care nursing competence increased by 12.4% (OR = 1.124). No significant relationship was found between nursing competence and clinical decision-making in the study. Age, educational level, marital status and economic status were found to affect mindfulness and decision-making scores (respectively χ2=7,706; p=0,021, χ2=6,197; p=0,045, Z=-2,656 ; p=0,008, χ2=12,668; p=0,002). Conclusion: Age, marital status, educational level and economic factors were identified as variables affecting mindfulness and the decision-making process. Significant associations were identified between age, marital status, educational level, economic status, mindfulness, and clinical decision-making scores. In addition, mindfulness was positively associated with intensive care nursing competence, whereas no significant association was found between nursing competence and clinical decision-making.
