Academic Success and Professional Development Plan Part 4: Research Analysis
The selected integrative literature review article is by Nibbelink and Brewer (2018) on the topic decision‐making in nursing practice. Researchers and students can find the article through the link https://doi.org/10.1111/jocn.14151 or https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/jocn.14151. The role of the article is to investigate the role of decision-making in the nursing practice.
The concepts presented in the article indicate that nurses utilize various factors in the decision-making process. The factors include awareness, autonomy, situation, understanding the patient situation, and education. For instance, the article indicates that nurse bring a variety of experiences in their practice. Nurses handle patients depending on their level of education and past experiences with similar patients.

Research Analysis Matrix
Add more rows if necessary Strengths of the Research Limitations of the Research Relevancy to Topic of Interest Notes
The article is peer-reviewed. The article is generalized and does not cover specific areas of decision-making The topic is relevant since decision-making is essential in the nursing practice. Nurse students and nurses can use the article to understand the value of decision-making factors in their daily practice.
Justification of the Article
I would recommend the article in the nursing practice since it highlights some of the factors that influence decision-making. The factors include awareness, autonomy, situation, understanding the patient’s situation, and education. Nurses should be aware of the factors that influence their decision. The factors can influence the decisions positively or negatively.
Academic Success and Professional Development Plan
I will add the article to the academic resources that I will use to enhance my decision-making process in the nursing practice.
My approach to identifying and analyzing peer-reviewed research is to find out the methodology, the theories, findings, and summary of the article. The information will help me to identify if an article is important in the nursing practice.
One of the strategies that I used to locate the appropriate article is to find peer-reviewed resources in the university library. I had to set the parameters such as finding an article that is at least five years old and indicating that the article should be peer-reviewed. The second approach is to indicate the topic clearly to help me locate the appropriate materials.
The resource I intend to use in the future is by White et al. (2019). The article deals with the benefits of using decision-making to eliminate fear and anxiety among nurse students. The article is important to help nurses determine the best decisions without feeling anxious. The approach is effective in improving the quality of decisions and patient outcomes.
