Abstract

This study explored two facets of clinical judgment in Tanzanian nurse education. The first was to examine the perceptions of Tanzanian nurses regarding the use of clinical judgment during their nursing education. The second purpose was to scrutinize perceived benefits and obstacles of establishing approaches to the development of clinical judgment in Tanzanian nurses. The sample consisted of ten Tanzanian nurses whose experience ranged from two to eighteen years. A qualitative research design of phenomenology was used in designing a semi-structured interview guide to conduct the interviews
