Abstract:
Introduction: This review delves into the perspectives and attitudes of new nurses regarding patient safety as they transition to another country and professional practice. Offering valuable insights into their learning experiences within intensive care environments. It emphasizes the essential need for robust training programs that effectively prepare nurses transitioning into intensive care units (ICUs). This is to address the issues of insufficient staff allocation for new nurses in an organization by concurrently conducting a database search, a grey literature search, and a key informant survey.
Methods: The goal is to address the issues associated with insufficient staff allocation for new nurses in an organization by conducting a simultaneous search of databases, grey literature, and key informant interviews. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis extension for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR) will be used to assist with reporting in this scoping review procedure.
Results: Data will be analyzed systematically and will be presented in a descriptive narrative format.
Conclusion: The proposed scoping review is to identify, understand, and map the literature on inadequate staff allocation for new nurses in the critical care unit. It is anticipated that the results of a scoping review will inform policymakers of healthcare facilities. And will be a basis that could help nursing management in transitioning nurses to ensure standard high-quality, and patient-safety care.
