Nurses' self-care strategies: A mapping review.

Objectives: Nurses have long received recommendations to employ self-care behaviors to ensure their ability to remain in the profession; however, nurses are rarely asked what self-care behaviors are beneficial. This literature review aimed to map studies on nurses' self-care strategies to provide an understanding of how these strategies are addressed in the literature and to identify gaps in need of additional exploration.

Method: Searches were conducted in accordance with published mapping review methodologies across MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Scopus, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and identified influential nursing journals.
