About this study
Official title: The Effect of Problem Solving And Decision Making Education On Problem Solving and Decision Making Skills of Nurse Managers
This research was conducted to evaluate the impact of the Problem Solving and Decision Making Training program, which was developed to enhance the problem-solving and decision-making skills of nurse managers at the lower, middle, and upper levels, by the subordinates and superiors of nurse managers. To assess the problem-solving and decision-making skills of nurse managers as perceived by their subordinates, the Problem-Solving Inventory-Managerial Version (PSI-MV) and Decision-Making Styles Scale-Managerial Version (DMSS-MV) underwent adaptation, validity, and reliability studies. These studies aimed to enable the evaluation of nurse managers' problem-solving and decision-making abilities from the perspective of their subordinates.

This research was conducted to evaluate the impact of the Problem Solving and Decision Making Training program, which was developed to enhance the problem-solving and decision-making skills of nurse managers at the lower, middle, and upper levels, by the subordinates and superiors of nurse managers. To assess the problem-solving and decision-making skills of nurse managers as perceived by their subordinates, the Problem-Solving Inventory-Managerial Version (PSI-MV) and Decision-Making Styles Scale-Managerial Version (DMSS-MV) underwent adaptation, validity, and reliability studies. These studies aimed to enable the evaluation of nurse managers' problem-solving and decision-making abilities from the perspective of their subordinates. The study was carried out using a systematic and randomized controlled design, incorporating elements such as pre-test-post-test, experimental, and control groups. In the initial phase of the research, the target population comprised 2,108 nurses employed at a city hospital in Istanbul, while the actual sample included 328 nurses. The validity and reliability studies of PSI-MV and DMSS-MV were carried out. In the scale analyses, psycholinguistic and psychometric properties were examined. In the second part of the research, a sample of 300 nurses, including 60 nurse managers and their subordinates (30 in the experimental group and 30 in the control group), was included using G*Power analysis for sample calculation.
