Description
Summary:Nursing is a profession based on theoretical knowledge and practice, and the clinical decision-making process is important. Many factors affect the fear of negative evaluation, and fear of a negative evaluation is a potential variable that can affect clinical decision-making. This descriptive cross-sectional study included undergraduate nursing students ( = 283). Nursing students' fear of a negative evaluation and clinical decision-making scale scores were 31.92 ± 08.51 and 149.18 ± 13.67, respectively. No significant relationship was identified between the scores ( > .05). The fear of a negative evaluation was not associated with nursing students' perceptions of clinical decision-making. To reduce nursing students' fear of a negative evaluation and improve their clinical decision-making ability, appropriate training programs should be developed and implemented by nursing educators and administrators. .
