This study explores the main characteristics of entrepreneurial nursing.
Nurses have acted entrepreneurially in a multitude of ways since the very beginning of the nursing profession. Still, it is unclear what it means for a nurse to be entrepreneurial. Entrepreneurial nurses are often described inconsistently, by non-inclusive terms not founded in research. There is a need to examine the essence of entrepreneurial nursing roles.
I conducted the research as a systematic literature review of 647 documents. Analysing empirical descriptions of entrepreneurial nurses' employment status, contexts, knowledge, activities, barriers and motivations led to the description of two entrepreneurial nursing roles.
The employment status of entrepreneurial nurses represents an important difference in their activities, challenges and motivations.
Entrepreneurial nurses may act as nurse entrepreneurs or nurse intrapreneurs. These roles are empirically rooted in the field of nursing and theoretically rooted in the field of entrepreneurship.
Entrepreneurial nurses are influenced by the support they get and the challenges they face in the health care system. Knowing the characteristics of entrepreneurial nurses is important for nurse managers, as they lead employees who may become nurse entrepreneurs or nurse intrapreneurs.
本研究探讨创业型护理的主要特征。
自护理专业诞生之初，护士就以多种方式展现出创业精神。然而，对于护士而言，具有创业精神意味着什么仍不明确。创业型护士的描述往往不一致，使用的是非包容性术语，且缺乏研究依据。有必要审视创业型护理角色的本质。
我通过对647份文献进行系统的文献综述来开展这项研究。分析创业型护士的就业状况、背景、知识、活动、障碍和动机的实证描述，得出了两种创业型护理角色的描述。
创业型护士的就业状况在其活动、挑战和动机方面存在重要差异。
创业型护士可能扮演护士企业家或护士内部创业者的角色。这些角色在护理领域有实证依据，在创业领域有理论依据。
创业型护士受到他们在医疗保健系统中获得的支持和面临的挑战的影响。了解创业型护士的特征对护士长很重要，因为他们领导的员工可能成为护士企业家或护士内部创业者。
