註釋ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to test a decision making model for nursing developed by the author in a previous qualitative study. Concepts in the decision making model were creativity, experience, leadership, education, risk taking, and informatics. The Chinese philosophy of Cosmogony and chaos theory provided the theoretical framework for the model. Analysis of Decision Making in Nursing (ADMN), a tool developed for this study, incorporated a bipolar scale of 81 items. Pilot testing showed adequate reliability and validity of the ADMN. The 5,000 subjects were randomly selected from a list of registered nurses licensed and residing in Florida. A total of 510 questionnaires was returned, with 491 providing usable information. Correlation analysis, multiple regression, and path analysis were performed on an over-identified model. Four path coefficients had non-significant t values and were removed. The goodness of fit indices for the reduced model provided a mixed review of the effectiveness of the model. The significant chi-square test result (chi square = 35.47, df = 7, p = 0.0001) suggested the model did not adequately represent the decision making framework. However, the Normed Fit Index (NFI) and Comparative Fit Index (CFI) values above 0.95 indicated a relatively high fit of the model to the data.
