Brief Summary

This research was conducted to evaluate the impact of the Problem Solving and Decision Making Training program, which was developed to enhance the problem-solving and decision-making skills of nurse managers at the lower, middle, and upper levels, by the subordinates and superiors of nurse managers. To assess the problem-solving and decision-making skills of nurse managers as perceived by their subordinates, the Problem-Solving Inventory-Managerial Version (PSI-MV) and Decision-Making Styles Scale-Managerial Version (DMSS-MV) underwent adaptation, validity, and reliability studies. These studies aimed to enable the evaluation of nurse managers' problem-solving and decision-making abilities from the perspective of their subordinates.

EXPERIMENTAL

The research was conducted with randomized control, pretest-posttest, experimental, and control group design. By using G\*Power analysis, it was determined that the experimental group of the nurse managers was 30 people and included randomly in the sample calculation of the study. The experimental group was given 2 days of problem-solving and decision-making training. Before the training, the nurse administrators in the experimental group were administered the Participant Information Form-Nurse Manager, PSI, DMSS and two Case Evaluation Forms and Problem Solving and Decision Making Information Form-Pre-Test-Post-Test.
