Decision fatigue among clinical nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic.

ABSTRACT:

Aims and objectives

The purpose of this study was to report the psychometric properties, including validity and reliability, of the decision fatigue scale (DFS).

Background

Decision fatigue may impair nurses' ability to make sound clinical decisions and negatively impact patient care. Given the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on psychological well-being and the workplace environment, decision fatigue may be even more apparent among clinical nurses. Valid assessment of this condition among clinical nurses may inform supportive interventions to mitigate the negative sequelae associated with states of decision fatigue.

Design

This study was a secondary analysis of a parent study using a cross-sectional descriptive design.
