Abstract:

Clinical judgment and decision-making are essential competencies in nursing, emerging as expanding learning areas of nursing education. Aiming to characterize the types of clinical judgment and decision-making adopted by nursing students in clinical education, we designed a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive study, with data collection obtained through documental analysis of nursing student´s reflective journals, in clinical education settings. Data analysis was performed according to Bardin using the webQDA software®. Thirty-four students participated in the study, while attending the Clinical Learning Curricular Unit: Caring for Clients with Increased Vulnerability and Families in Transition, producing a total of 40 reflective journals. Of the 248 identified registration units, we highlight the Evaluation Decision-Making with 45 registration units and the Intervention Decision-Making, with 55 registration units. It is concluded that student´s reflections in the context of clinical teaching, are mainly about the assessment of the care situation and the decision-making related to the action. This study is intended to guide the learning of these competencies in nursing education.
