Nurse Managers' Leadership, Patient Safety, and Quality of Care: A Systematic Review.

This review examined relationships between nurse unit managers' leadership and patient safety and quality of care outcomes in hospital settings. Employing four databases (CINAHL, Embase, PubMed, and Web of Science) and ancestry searches, we identified 14 English-language, peer-reviewed, primary studies that examined such relationships using quantitative analyses. The studies were published between 2012 and 2021, and most used a cross-sectional design.
