AZEVEDO, Cláudia Isabel Abreu; GRACA, Luís Carvalho da y SOUSA, Clementina dos Prazeres Fernandes. Nurses’ perceptions of decision-making skills in the Manchester Triage System. Rev. Enf. Ref. [online]. 2023, vol.serVI, n.2, e23.13.29242. Epub 27-Feb-2024. ISSN 0874-0283. https://doi.org/10.12707/rvi23.13.29242.
Background:
Priority triage is a complex decision-making process used to assess clinical severity.
Objective:
This study aims to explore the association between the socio-professional characteristics of emergency department nurses and their perceptions of decision-making skills during triage.
Methodology:
A cross-sectional descriptive-correlational study was conducted with a sample of 47 nurses. The Portuguese version of the Triage Decision-Making Inventory (TDMI) was used for data collection.
Results:
Regarding nurses’ perceptions of their decision-making skills, the highest mean score (4.94 ± 0.420) was found in cognitive characteristics/Skill confidence and the lowest mean score in Intuition (4.44 ± 0.697). Significant correlations were found between cognitive characteristics/skill confidence, intuition, and critical thinking and the length of experience in emergency departments, as well as between cognitive characteristics/Skill confidence and the triage nurses’ age and professional experience.
Conclusion:
Experience in the emergency department has a positive impact on triage decision-making skills. Nurses place the highest value on cognitive characteristics/skill confidence.
