Single group
Nursing Care Decision Support System
Other interventionPhase 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.
Nurse Decision-Making Scale
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.
Semi-Structured Interview Form for the Implementation of the Decision Support System
This form was also prepared by the researchers and finalized in line with expert feedback. It will be used twice-before and after the implementation of the Decision Support System. The form includes four open-ended questions designed to assess nurses' opinions on the system. The post-implementation version focuses specifically on evaluating the effectiveness and potential improvements of the system.
