Tiivistelmä
The purpose of this study was to describe the decision-making process of 339 psychiatric nurses in Finland, Northern Ireland, and the United States and to discuss any differences observed among nurses in these countries. The instrument used in the study was a 56-item, Likert-type questionnaire tested in several previous studies that have confirmed its validity and reliability. Three different models of decision making were identified on the basis of factor analysis. Overall, it may be concluded that the decision-making process of psychiatric nurses is broadly based, but it varies between countries. Nurses from Northern Ireland used only analytical decision-making models; nurses from Finland made decisions strongly favored analytical decision-making models but also used some intuitive models; and American nurses used intuitive decision-making and analytical-processing models.
