This study aimed to investigate the relationship between clinical decision-making and critical thinking in the quality of nursing care in nurses. This descriptive-analytical study was done with the participation of 226 nurses working in internal surgical departments. Data were collected through California critical thinking skills questionnaires, clinical decision-making, and quality of nursing care and using multi-stage stratified sampling proportional to volume. The findings were analyzed by descriptive and inferential tests (Pearson correlation coefficient, independent t, and one-way analysis of variance) in SPSS software version 23. The average scores of quality of nursing care, clinical decision-making, and critical thinking were 199.43±26.97, 87.72±13.98, and 7.99±3.15, respectively. High nursing care quality and poor critical thinking were reported. Pearson's correlation coefficient did not show a significant relationship between critical thinking score and nursing care quality score (P>0.001), but the results demonstrated a significant relationship between clinical decision-making score and nursing care quality score (P UR - https://journalinpc.com/article/studying-the-impact-of-clinical-decision-making-and-critical-thinking-on-the-quality-of-nursing-care-qhtt4mfuhnjuazi ER -
