Abstract
AIM: To explore what is known about nurses' experiences and perceptions of running nurse-led clinics. BACKGROUND: Nurse-led clinics were established to address health care needs. In collaboration with medical practitioners, advanced practice nurses may take a selected group of patients and manage their ongoing healthcare independently. Their experiences in running nurse-led clinics directly impact patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes. DESIGN: Scoping review of the peer-reviewed literature. DATA SOURCE: Systematic search through CINAHL, Medline, PsycINFO and Web of Science databases from January 2010 to September 2023. REVIEW METHODS: This scoping review is guided by the updated methodological guidance for the conduct of scoping review from Joanna Briggs Institute. RESULTS: Of 2747 retrieved articles, 15 were included in this review. Synthesis of the findings revealed that nurses believed implementing nurse-led clinics was beneficial to themselves, patients, and healthcare systems. However, they faced challenges in running nurse-led clinics, including insufficient support, teamwork obstacles and lack of role recognition. CONCLUSION: Nurses need to be proactive in promoting their clinics and overcoming challenges. Healthcare organizations are responsible for creating a positive culture to support nurse-led services. Future research should focus on ways to increase global awareness of nurse-led clinics.
