Outline of Final Research Achievements

I determined the criteria for nurses’ clinical judgments in work rescheduling because of previous interruptions and examined the differences between recognition (degree of importance) and practice (degree of implementation) for each judgment criterion. I also assessed the relationships between these criteria and a multitasking simulation experience.
After having identified the complex interrelationships (cause/effect, driving/dependence, direct/indirect) among various criteria related to nursing clinical judgments and demonstrating them with a causal diagram, it was observed that more than half (52%) of the criteria indicated the same relational structure between recognition (WAI: Work as imagined) and practice (WAD: Work as done). However, the rest indicated a different structure, thus providing evidence for a recognition-practice gap.
