The objective of this review of reviews was to identify the reasons for missed nursing care and to shed light on how nurses prioritize what care they miss. Missed nursing care refers to essential nursing activities or tasks that are omitted or not completed as planned during a patient's care. This omission can result from various factors, such as staffing shortages, time constraints, or communication issues, and it can potentially compromise the quality of patient care and safety. Identifying and addressing missed nursing care is crucial to ensure optimal patient outcomes and the well-being of healthcare professionals. To be included, reviews had to use the systematic review process, be available in the English language, examine missed care in hospitals and at home, and include participants who were over eighteen years old. The review intended to answer the following questions: 'Why nursing care is missed?' 'How nurses prioritize what care they missed?'. An umbrella review was developed guided by the JBI methodology and using PRISMA-ScR. A total of 995 reviews were identified. According to the inclusion criteria, only nine reviews were finally evaluated. The findings indicate that care is missed due to staffing levels, organizational problems, and the working climate. Prioritization of care depends on acute care needs as well as educational and experiential background. Missed nursing care is associated with patient safety and the quality of provided nursing care. Specifically, it has negative impacts on patients, healthcare professionals, and healthcare service units. Organizational characteristics, nursing unit features, and the level of teamwork among nursing staff affect Missed Nursing Care. Individual demographic characteristics of the staff, professional roles, work schedules, and adequate staffing may potentially contribute to the occurrence of Missed Nursing Care, which is why they are under investigation. However, further consideration is needed regarding the management of patient needs and nurse prioritization.
