Abstract
En 中文
Clinical intuition, a non-conscious, experience-based cognitive process, is widely recognized as a core component of nursing expertise and essential for competent patient care. However, varied perspectives on its defining characteristics have led to conceptual ambiguity. In addition, the extent to which existing measurement approaches align with the theoretical definition of the concept has not been systematically evaluated. This integrative review aims to (1) clarify the concept of clinical intuition by identifying key attributes from theoretical definitions found in nursing literature, and (2) evaluate the content alignment between these key attributes and intuition questionnaires used in nursing research.
