Nurse managers face great challenges in responding to organizational demands. There exists a general mismatch between managerial span of control and the demands of the job post, which can lead to overburdening and attrition. The aim of this review was to identify the effects of the nurse manager span of control on hospital organizations.
An integrative literature review was carried out on nurse manager span of control using the Medline, Embase and Web of Science databases.
21 articles were included. Our findings indicate that the span of control of nursing managers influences outcomes in inpatients, professionals, nurse managers, and the organization.
The span of control of each nurse manager must be assessed and adjusted to each case. An appropriate span of control will lead to improved outcomes for stakeholders and the organization as a whole.
Tools must be developed and implemented to measure and evaluate the span of control of nurse managers. This study was not registered.

使用Medline、Embase和科学网数据库对护士长控制范围进行综合文献综述。
纳入21篇文章。我们的研究结果表明，护理管理者的控制范围会影响住院患者、专业人员、护士长及组织的相关结果。
必须针对每个案例评估并调整每位护士长的控制范围。适当的控制范围将为利益相关者和整个组织带来更好的结果。
