Triage Decision Making inventory (TDMI) questionnaire 27 questions have three dimensions of cognitive abilities, experience and intuition, and in the study we want to use the 7-question questionnaire "acknowledges using intuition in nursing scale (AUINS)".
1- Is it possible to use the above two questionnaires simultaneously in the study and perform correlation measurement, considering that one of the dimensions of the TDMI questionnaire is intuition?
2- If it is not possible to use simultaneously and the possibility of communication, is it possible to remove the intuition dimension of the TDMI questionnaire? And how can this be done with reason and logic?
Hello,
Your question is a statistical correlation question about comparing two scales where both scales share a similar dimension. From a statistical viewpoint, I am not sure how to respond. However, from a nursing viewpoint, I believe these 2 scales are complementary and reinforcing. The AUINS scale values emotional awareness during a triage situation. Nurses often "feel" or are otherwise "triggered" to have apprehension or premotion about a patient's description, including what is not being said. In addition, nurses through multiple patient encounters, all encoded somewhere within the nurse, are able to connect on an unseen level (etherial) by some nurse-empaths, or at least pick up cues to aid triage assessment and allocation of resources. I'm thinking rather that separating and searching for a correlation, I think these 2 scales are complementary. A different study might be to look at outcomes in nursing cohort 1 (uses both scales) and nursing cohort 2 (that uses neither scale). Interesting questions! Patty
