Examining intensive care nurses' clinical decision-making associated with acute kidney injury and continuous renal replacement therapy in Saudi Arabia

(2018) Examining intensive care nurses' clinical decision-making associated with acute kidney injury and continuous renal replacement therapy in Saudi Arabia. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This thesis explored the dimensions of decision-making of nurses managing continuous renal replacement therapy in the intensive care unit. Variations in the levels of decision-making were largely the result of contextual factors including workforce characteristics, management practices, socialisation and organisational constraints. The concepts also constitute an explanation of the ways in which the interplay of social, organisational and technological boundaries constructed the process of nursing clinical decision-making and performance with advanced technology. These finding suggest that there is an urgent need for organisational and social change in the nursing profession in Saudi Arabia.
