Nurses Professional Judgement of Emergency Cases. A Pilot Randomised Controlled Trial to Enhance the Unterstanding of Decision-Making

Focusing on decision-making in clinical contexts, this study employs simulation-based research tools to analyze judgmental errors through a 'noise audit' simulation. Conducted as a blinded, randomized controlled trial, participants utilized a custom web application to report their mood, score triage judgments on fictitious emergency cases, and share personality traits. The research was carried out in hospital and university settings, ensuring no interaction with academic staff during setup, aiming to capture and evaluate variances in decision outcomes from a non-practitioner perspective.
