AIM(S): To provide an introduction to the Good Nursing Care Scale (GNCS) and systematically review the application of the scale in health research.
Systematic review.
Empirical studies published in English or Finnish in peer-reviewed journals or as a summary of a PhD thesis where the scale was used for data collection amongst patients were included. Analysis was made by using descriptive statistics, narrative analysis, and evaluation of psychometric properties.
PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane, and Scopus in October 2023.
A total of 26 full-text studies and summaries of PhD theses were included in the review. The GNCS has been developed systematically, and the theoretical structure has remained stable. The studies indicate a high level of patient-centered quality of nursing care. Validity and reliability evaluation and reporting were systematic in the studies and mainly indicate sufficient level. Variations between countries are not large, supporting the international use of the GNCS.
Patient-centered quality of nursing care is predominantly at high levels. However, systematic evaluation is needed to provide longitudinal data. For that purpose, the GNCS is one potential instrument.
Support for the use of existing, tested instruments is encouraged to provide critical ideas for the future needs of nurse practitioners, managers, teachers and researchers.
This paper impacts researchers interested in systematic evaluation of the patient-centered quality of nursing care and for practitioners taking care of patients. For researchers, it introduces a relevant instrument, the GNCS, for analysing the quality or for comparing the quality with other instruments. For practitioners, it produces evidence of the usability of the GNCS.
PRISMA guided the systematic review, and the COSMIN guideline was used for quality appraisal of included studies.

介绍优质护理量表（GNCS），并系统回顾该量表在健康研究中的应用。
系统评价。
纳入发表于同行评审期刊的英文或芬兰文实证研究，或作为博士论文摘要且该量表用于患者数据收集的研究。采用描述性统计、叙述性分析和心理测量特性评估进行分析。
2023年10月的PubMed、CINAHL、Cochrane和Scopus。
本评价共纳入26项全文研究和博士论文摘要。GNCS已得到系统开发，其理论结构保持稳定。研究表明以患者为中心的护理质量水平较高。研究中的效度和信度评估及报告具有系统性，且主要表明水平充足。各国之间的差异不大，支持GNCS的国际应用。
以患者为中心的护理质量主要处于较高水平。然而，需要进行系统评价以提供纵向数据。为此，GNCS是一种潜在工具。
鼓励支持使用现有的、经过测试的工具，为执业护士、管理人员、教师和研究人员的未来需求提供关键思路。
本文对有兴趣系统评价以患者为中心的护理质量的研究人员以及照顾患者的从业者产生影响。对于研究人员，它介绍了一种相关工具GNCS，用于分析质量或与其他工具比较质量。对于从业者，它提供了GNCS可用性的证据。
PRISMA指导系统评价，COSMIN指南用于纳入研究的质量评估。
