The executive nurse director role is complex and there is significant variation in the expectations and responsibilities placed on it. The main function of the role is to deliver the nursing agenda and ensure that safety and quality remain the focus of the executive board. However, it is unclear what evidence exists regarding the challenges and opportunities experienced by executive nurse directors. This scoping review, undertaken as part of the Stronger Study, explores the literature published from 2009 onwards on the challenges and opportunities affecting executive nurse directors' ability to deliver the nursing agenda in the UK. Findings from the review suggest that the importance attached to the executive nurse director role is not matched by the amount of research available. Strengthening the executive nurse director role requires a stronger evidence base and an awareness of the benefits of the role.
执行护士主任的角色是复杂的,对其的期望和职责存在很大的差异。该角色的主要职能是推行护理计划,并确保安全和质量仍然是执行委员会的关注重点。然而,目前尚不清楚有关执行护士主任所面临的挑战和机遇的证据是什么。这项范围界定审查是作为 Stronger 研究的一部分进行的,旨在探讨自 2009 年以来在英国影响执行护士主任推行护理计划能力的挑战和机遇方面发表的文献。审查结果表明,执行护士主任角色的重要性与其可用研究的数量不匹配。加强执行护士主任的角色需要更强有力的证据基础,并意识到该角色的好处。
