Abstract
Summary A schematic framework for conceptualizing public health nursing decision-making has been presented, and research concerned with priorities for home visits has been discussed in relation to this framework. As a step toward the interpretation of a significant interaction between role groups (one decision-maker variable) and items (viewed as combinations of situational variables), situations were oategorized into six subsets on the basis of types of problems included. When relative priority ratings assigned by the six role groups are examined in terms of these problem-type categories, differences in patterns of responses emerge.
