Nurses make up the largest constituent of the health workforce. The success of health care interventions depends on nurses' ability and willingness to provide quality health care services. A well-implemented performance management (PM) system can be a valuable asset in ensuring that nurses are motivated, promoted, trained and rewarded appropriately. Despite the significant benefits of effective PM such as improved motivation, job satisfaction and morale, PM systems are highly contested. Therefore, it is important to examine evidence on PM methods and practices in order to understand its consequences among nursing professionals in primary health care (PHC) settings.
The search strategy of this systematic scoping review will involve various electronic databases which include Academic Search Complete, PsycARTICLES. PsycINFO, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Applied Health Literature, Medline and Cochrane Library from the EbsocHost Database Platform. Electronic databases such as PubMed and Google Scholar, Union catalogue of theses and dissertations via SABINET online and WorldCat dissertations will be incorporated. A grey literature search will be conducted on websites such as the World Health Organization and government websites to find relevant policies and guidelines. The period for the search is from 1978 to 2018. This time period was chosen to coincide with the Declaration of Alma-Ata on PHC adopted in 1978. All references will be exported to Endnote library. Two independent reviewers will begin screening for eligible titles, abstracts and full articles. During title and abstract screening, duplicates will be removed. The Mixed Method Appraisal Tool will determine the quality of included studies. Thematic analysis will be used to analyse the included articles.
Evidence of preferences on PM methods and practices will generate insight on the use of PM systems in PHC and how this can be used for the purpose of improving nurses' performance and in turn, the provision of quality health care. We hope to expose knowledge gaps and inform future research.
护士构成了卫生劳动力中最大的组成部分。医疗干预的成功取决于护士提供高质量医疗服务的能力和意愿。一个实施良好的绩效管理（PM）系统可以成为确保护士得到适当激励、晋升、培训和奖励的宝贵资产。尽管有效的 PM 有显著的好处，如提高工作动力、工作满意度和士气，但 PM 系统仍存在很大争议。因此，重要的是要检查 PM 方法和实践的证据，以了解其在初级卫生保健（PHC）环境中的护理专业人员中的后果。
本系统评价的检索策略将涉及各种电子数据库，包括 Academic Search Complete、PsycARTICLES、PsycINFO、Cumulative Index to Nursing and Applied Health Literature、Medline 和 Cochrane Library 来自 EbsocHost 数据库平台。将纳入 PubMed 和 Google Scholar 等电子数据库，以及 SABINET 在线联合目录中的论文和论文，以及 WorldCat 论文。将在世界卫生组织和政府网站等网站上进行灰色文献搜索，以查找相关政策和准则。搜索的时间范围是 1978 年至 2018 年。之所以选择这个时间段，是为了与 1978 年通过的《阿拉木图初级卫生保健宣言》相吻合。所有参考文献都将导出到 Endnote 库中。两名独立的审查员将开始筛选合格的标题、摘要和全文文章。在标题和摘要筛选过程中，将删除重复项。混合方法评估工具将确定纳入研究的质量。将使用主题分析来分析纳入的文章。
对 PM 方法和实践的偏好的证据将提供有关 PHC 中 PM 系统使用的见解，以及如何利用 PM 系统来提高护士的绩效，进而提供高质量的医疗保健。我们希望揭示知识差距并为未来的研究提供信息。
