Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Clinical Decision Making Scale in Nursing

    The scale consists of 40 items. The scale includes four sub-dimensions (10 items each), namely "investigating options and ideas", "investigating goals and values", "evaluating results" and "investigating knowledge and adopting new knowledge impartially". The scale is 5-point Likert type. The minimum total score of the scale is 40 points and the maximum score is 200 points. Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient is 0.78.

    3 weeks

  • Determination of Reflective Thinking Scale

    The scale is 5-point Likert type and consists of 16 items. The scale measures students' reflective thinking skill levels at the end of a lesson in four sub-dimensions, each consisting of four items: habit, comprehension, reflection and critical reflection. The lowest score that can be obtained from each sub-dimension is 4 and the highest score is 20. Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient is 0.77.
