Winners of ACENDIO grant 2023
“A Novel Humanistic Decision-Making Process Framework (HumDeM): A Consensus Study”, has the objective of refining and establishing a consensus about the concepts’ labels and definitions as well as the conceptual model of a new nursing decision-making framework. The HumDeM framework emerged from the intuitive-humanist model, and its development was influenced by the theory of health as expanding consciousness. This new framework will provide clinical nurses and educators with a structured approach to guide the development of clinical decision-making skills.
This study is needed since a comprehensive nursing framework about the decision-making process components and their relationship with quality of care and outcomes is lacking.
The main reason for starting a study together as a team came from the opportunity to develop and validate, through consensus within an international panel of experts, a framework of nursing decision-making using a multicultural perspective.
