Triage nurses operate in high-pressure environments and must make rapid decisions, often under conditions of uncertainty, relying on a blend of analytical reasoning and intuitive judgement. However, this complex decision-making process is susceptible to a range of challenges, including cognitive biases, communication breakdowns, procedural inconsistencies, fatigue, and stress, all of which can compromise patient safety and care quality. This study explores the multifaceted nature of triage decision-making, focusing on the influencing factors, cognitive processes, and real-world challenges experienced by nurses. By deepening our understanding of these elements, the paper lays the groundwork for the development of effective Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) that can enhance clinical judgement and support nurses in delivering safe, timely, and efficient emergency care.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The study used cognitive task analysis through interviews and observations to capture the cognitive strategies used by nurses during triage.
