Title of your Abstract : Nurses Clinical Judgment in Palliative Care

Abstract(Please copy/paste the abstract send to the congress) : The core characteristics and competencies of nurses are included: clinical judgment, advocacy and ethics, collaboration, professionalism, communication, as well as facilitation of learning. 
Clinical judgment is one of the key attributes of professional practice. It is a prerequisite for establishing professional identity and is mainly based on nurses’ knowledge and experience as well as their reasoning, intuition, clinical thinking, and evidence-based practice skills. 
Evidence from healthcare systems around the world suggests that judgements made by nurses could be improved and we need to know more about nurses’ judgements, the interventions likely to improve their decisions, and outcomes.
In this qualitative study we aimed to explore the process of Iranian nurses’ professionalization in clinical judgment. The data were collected based on semi-structured interviews and the study included 24 participants. Data analysis was carried out concurrently with data collection using content analysis method.
The study findings revealed that the participants employed different strategies for becoming professional in clinical judgment development. These strategies constituted the core category of the study, which was ‘struggling for becoming professional in clinical judgment’. To the best of our knowledge, none of the previous studies had explored the process of professionalization in clinical judgment. However, several studies have reported some of the properties and strategies of professionalization in clinical judgment. 
The findings provided critical information about nurses’ professionalization in clinical judgment. Accordingly, the participants adopted different strategies to develop their clinical judgment ability. Integrating these strategies into nursing theory and clinical education can improve nurses’ clinical judgment ability especially in the field of palliative care.
