Abstract
Background: Cooperative learning is a successful learner focused instructional approach
where small groups of intern nurses work together to take full advantage of their individual and
group learning that reflects on enhancing academic achievement, encouraging individual
accountability, practicing social skills and improving decision making skills. Aim of study: Was to
determine the effect of cooperative learning program on intern nurses’ decision making skills.
Research design: A quasi experimental design was utilized in this study. Setting: This study was
conducted at Benha University Hospital in the intern-nurses' clinical training areas. Sample: A
systematic random sample of intern nurses (n=55) who are enrolled in the internship year 2019-
2020 and available at the time of study. Tools of data collection: Four tools were used I):
Cooperative learning knowledge questionnaire, II): Attitude toward cooperative learning scale, III):
Cooperative learning practice observational checklist and IV): Decision making skills in nursing
scale. Results: (87.3%) and (85.5%) of intern nurses had satisfactory knowledge level during
immediately post program phase and follow up phase, (92.7%) and (85%) had a positive attitude
during immediately post program phase and follow up phase, respectively. (90.9%) of them had
competent practice level at immediate post program phase and (72.7%) of intern nurses had high
level of decision making skills at post program phase. Conclusion: There was a highly positive
statistical significant correlation between intern nurses’ total cooperative learning knowledge,
attitude and practice scores and their total decision making skills score at immediately post program.
Recommendations: Faculty of Nursing should accept different popular learning strategies such as
cooperative learning and give more attention to these instructional methods.
