Investigating the level of nurses’ participation in physicians’ clinical decisions and the factors affecting it: evidence from a cross-sectional study from nurses’ perspectives

Based on the results, the improvement of individual, social, organizational, and clinical factors may be associated with increasing nurses' participation in physicians' clinical decisions. It is recommended that nurses' participation in clinical decisions be emphasized by holding ongoing training courses such as collaborative management, conflict management, and evidence-based decision-making for physicians. Hospital managers should also train and improve communication skills between physicians and nurses by holding periodic courses and seminars in hospitals. The findings of this study can be a basis for planning to improve the status of nurses' participation in physicians' clinical decisions in hospitals.
