Abstract
Background: In the context of increasingly digital healthcare systems, clinical judgement among critical care nurses is shaped not only by clinical experience but also by the broader digital environment. Digital culture, digital competence and clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) usability are pivotal factors influencing how nurses make timely, informed clinical decisions. However, the complex interplay among these factors remains underexplored.
Aim: To examine the impact of digital culture on critical care nurses' clinical judgement, investigate the moderating role of digital competence and examine how CDSSs usability affects this moderation.
Study design: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 550 critical care nurses working in 28 intensive care units across 10 hospitals located in Cairo and Alexandria in Egypt and Riyadh in Saudi Arabia. Data were collected via four validated instruments and analysed via moderated moderation analysis (PROCESS Models 1 and 3) to test direct and interaction effects among digital culture, digital competence, CDSSs usability and clinical judgement.
Results: Digital culture significantly predicted clinical judgement. This effect was moderated by digital competence, which enhanced the positive association. A significant three-way interaction revealed that the relationship was strongest when both digital competence and CDSSs usability were high. The full model explained 53.9% of the variance in clinical judgement capability.
Conclusions: Digital culture enhances clinical judgement, particularly when supported by high digital competence and usable CDSSs.
Relevance to clinical practice: Clinical effectiveness in critical care nursing requires strong digital competence, a supportive digital culture and user-friendly CDSSs to enable accurate, timely and informed clinical judgement and decisions.
期刊介绍：
Nursing in Critical Care is an international peer-reviewed journal covering any aspect of critical care nursing practice, research, education or management. Critical care nursing is defined as the whole spectrum of skills, knowledge and attitudes utilised by practitioners in any setting where adults or children, and their families, are experiencing acute and critical illness. Such settings encompass general and specialist hospitals, and the community. Nursing in Critical Care covers the diverse specialities of critical care nursing including surgery, medicine, cardiac, renal, neurosciences, haematology, obstetrics, accident and emergency, neonatal nursing and paediatrics.
Papers published in the journal normally fall into one of the following categories:
-research reports
-literature reviews
-developments in practice, education or management
-reflections on practice
