        This research was conducted to evaluate the impact of the Problem Solving and Decision Making&#xD;
        Training program, which was developed to enhance the problem-solving and decision-making&#xD;
        skills of nurse managers at the lower, middle, and upper levels, by the subordinates and&#xD;
        superiors of nurse managers. To assess the problem-solving and decision-making skills of&#xD;
        nurse managers as perceived by their subordinates, the Problem-Solving Inventory-Managerial&#xD;
        Version (PSI-MV) and Decision-Making Styles Scale-Managerial Version (DMSS-MV) underwent&#xD;
        adaptation, validity, and reliability studies. These studies aimed to enable the evaluation&#xD;
        of nurse managers' problem-solving and decision-making abilities from the perspective of&#xD;

        In the initial phase of the research, the target population comprised 2,108 nurses employed&#xD;
        at a city hospital in Istanbul, while the actual sample included 328 nurses. The validity and&#xD;
        reliability studies of PSI-MV and DMSS-MV were carried out. In the scale analyses,&#xD;
        psycholinguistic and psychometric properties were examined. In the second part of the&#xD;
        research, a sample of 300 nurses, including 60 nurse managers and their subordinates (30 in&#xD;
        the experimental group and 30 in the control group), was included using G*Power analysis for&#xD;

The experimental group was given 2 days of problem-solving and decision-making training. Before the training, the nurse administrators in the experimental group were administered the Participant Information Form-Nurse Manager, PSI, DMSS and two Case Evaluation Forms and Problem Solving and Decision Making Information Form-Pre-Test-Post-Test.</description>
