Thirsk LM, Panchuk JT, Stahlke S, et al. Cognitive and implicit biases in nurses' judgment and decision-making: a scoping review. Int J Nurs Stud. 2022;133:104284. doi:10.1016/j.ijnurstu.2022.104284.
Biases in healthcare can compromise decision-making and lead to diagnostic errors and delays in diagnosis. This scoping review examines cognitive and implicit biases in nursing care. The authors found a breadth of evidence examining the presence of cognitive and implicit biases in nursing but identified limited evidence evaluating effective debiasing interventions.
