INTRODUCTION
Knowledge and scientific evidence about nursing practice environments (NPE) in the context of Primary Health Care (PHC) is scarce1.
Policy makers, health and professional organizations have proposed to redesign the health system in PHC with the aim of increasing citizens’ accessibility, improving customer outcomes and maximizing efficiency1.
The aging of the population and the chronicity of many diseases cause an increase in demand for both PHC 1 consequently, by nurses2, so that the needs of these customers are attended to.
The International Council of Nurses3) considers that there is a critical shortage of nurses, that motives are complex and varied, being, amongst the main ones, the unfavorable environments, which weaken the performance or contribute to the alienation and absent-mindedness of nurses and, all too often, distance them from work environments specific or profession3. As such, in the last decade, the global shortage of nurses has had the consequence of increasing international academic interest in the NPE4.
The practice of nursing care is developed in an environment of increasing complexity and stress for professionals5. The stressful nature of nursing can lead to burnout, low productivity, absenteeism6 and, in the long run, contributes to the lack of staff4,7, further aggravating the problem8.
Knowing the environments where the care practices take place, we are contributing to improve them and, consequently, promote the quality of nursing care. The NPE is related to job satisfaction, the quality of nursing care and the safety of the client9 and, yet, with the effectiveness of care for clients and the efficiency of organizations. Thus, the study of this theme presents fundamental contributions to the health policies of the health systems of any country.
The study of the NPE is essential to diagnose how we can improve it, how we can promote the quality of care that nurses provide and, therefore, contribute to the improvement of clinical practice contexts10.
The quality of nursing care is an essential element in the profession and refers, among other points, to the direct relationship between the client and the nurse. It depends on many factors, mainly the NPE5.
Lake defines the practice environment as the organizational characteristics of a work context that facilitate or constrain professional nursing practice9.
A favorable NPE leads to improved customer results, it is an essential factor for increasing nurses’ job satisfaction6-7,9, being essential to maintain teams with safe staffing and retain nurses8.
On the other hand, poor NPEs, with a lack of management support, weak leadership and poor multidisciplinary relationship are associated with: decreased quality of care1; adverse events on customers1 such as errors11; increased mortality and complications12-13; readmissions for complications14; rising health care costs15; ineffective provision of care, conflicts and stress among health professionals5,11; professional dissatisfaction and increased turnover of nurses1,16-17.
A safe NPE is characterized by good professional relationships among its members, management that supports nurses in the practice of care and balanced working hours18-19. It is also characterized by a balance between the workload and the skills of nurses, time to respond to client needs, professional autonomy, adequate resources and opportunities for professional advancement18-19.
The most important characteristics of a NPE in PHC are support and management support; leadership and management; good multidisciplinary relationships between nurses and doctors; and quality of care19-20. Nurse managers play a key role in creating a favorable NPE8, positive19 and promoting and providing quality care. They can also provide the necessary tools for the professional development of nurses and future managers21. Leadership influences NPE22-23. Without adequate skills and knowledge, it becomes difficult for nursing leaders to maintain a favorable practice environment19,24. The nurse manager is an engine of change on the path to excellence, organizing existing resources and creating a safe environment in nursing care25.
The performance of nurses in PHC focuses on the treatment, rehabilitation and health promotion of clients, although these professionals have little time for health promotion and disease prevention in the daily care organization. They have a significant and recognized action in home care5.
The characteristics of the NPE are modifiable factors and can be improved with political-administrative initiatives, namely: training of nurse managers; promote continuity of customer care; increase opportunities for nurses’ continuing education and expand opportunities for nurses to participate in organizational decisions26.
This way, it is urgent and a duty of nursing research to study the NPE in the context of PHC, especially because published studies on the subject are scarce. There is a need to investigate the NPE at other levels of health system care, in addition to the hospital context25.
Considering that a favorable NPE is essential for the implementation of any health program in PHC and in the follow-up of health policies for that context, promoting the improvement of these environments is essential; it is a public service for citizens, health professionals and organizations.
OBJECTIVE
To examine the scientific evidence about the NPE in PHC.
METHODS
This scoping review has as guidelines the methodology proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) for scoping reviews27. The objective is to examine the scientific evidence about the NPE in PHC. The guiding question is: “How is the nursing care practice environment characterized in PHC?” According to JBI, the scoping analysis aim to provide a map of the scope of available evidence; and allow the identification of issues to help promote health and, in this case, evidence-based nursing care, increasing knowledge, identifying gaps and alerting to the need for further systematic reviews27.
The review question was formulated based on the PCC strategy, in which it was considered: Population (P), nurses; Concept (C), the NPE; Context (C), PHC or community. The types of sources used were quantitative and qualitative studies. Quantitative studies included observational and cross-sectional designs and psychometric validation, while qualitative studies were descriptive, associated with a quantitative design. Systematic literature reviews were meta-syntheses.
The research strategy aimed to find both published and unpublished studies. Three stages of research were used. The first stage was developed at CINAHL and MEDLINE, with an analysis of the descriptors contained in the titles and abstracts. In the second stage, in a broader search, the same descriptors and search terms were used in the remaining databases of the EBSCOHost platform. In the third stage, new studies were identified by searching the bibliographic references of all included articles. This review was limited to studies published in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
No time limit was defined, since it was intended to cover all the literature that addressed the topic in question27, due to the scarcity of this theme in the context of PHC. Thus, the articles obtained are limited to the period from 2007 to 2018.
The research was carried out in the following sources: CINAHL; MEDLINE; Scopus, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews; LILACS; Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO); “Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal” (RCAAP - Open Access Scientific Repositories of Portugal).
The descriptors initially used in English were: Nursing Practice Environment OR Work Environment OR Nursing Practice OR Clinical Care Environment AND Primary Health Care OR Primary Care Settings OR Community Health Nursing OR Community Health Centers OR Primary Health Organization. Search terms were considered in the summary.
Full articles were considered for studies that contained the inclusion criteria for this review. In cases of doubt in the analysis of the abstracts, with regards to the relevance of studies, the full article was obtained.
The data were extracted from the articles included in the review, using a table for extracting the results, according to the purpose and question of the review and according to the JBI scoping review methodology27. The extraction table was organized by the following data: Author(s), Year of publication, Country; Title; Objectives; Study design; Study population/Sample size/Participants; Context; Relevant concept(s) of the review question/Measurement instrument(s); Main results.
Following the guidelines of Levac et al.28, the data was obtained without disagreement between the reviewers, who did not consider it necessary to contact or ask the primary authors for information/clarification about the data, according to Arksey and O’Malley29.
Figure 1 specifies the results of the analysis steps, following the PRISMA model of Flow Diagram30.
RESULTS
After removing duplicate articles30, 285 studies were identified for review selection. A total of 46 articles met the inclusion criteria based on the verification of titles and abstracts. Once the full-text articles were obtained, they were then read and examined, so that 19 met the inclusion criteria, of which 16 exclusively in the context of PHC and 3 in a mixed context (PHC and hospital). In the end, this scoping review corresponded to the response of 4,383 nurses from the PHC context.
Europe had the largest number of publications, with 47.4%, and included Spain as the country with the highest number of publications, with 36.8%. America was represented only by the United States, with 15.8% of publications. Africa accounted for 21% of publications (South Africa and Nigeria); Oceania (Australia and New Zealand), 10.5%; and Asia, only one study, from China, corresponding to 5.3%.
The quantitative investigation method was adopted by 78.9% of the studies. Systematic literature reviews and 2 meta-syntheses were found and included in this study, totalling 68 studies.
By analyzing the results of the 19 articles, five thematic categories emerged: NPE assessment and job satisfaction; NPE and the recruitment and retention of nurses; The NPE and the results on the clients; Improvement of the NPE; and the NPE and professional development.
DISCUSSION
The purpose of this scoping review is to examine the scientific evidence about NPE in PHC. To answer this question, 17 primary studies were included. Although it was important to include systematic reviews, only two focused on the care context of this review, which are meta-syntheses31-32. The study of Poghosyan et al.31 proposes a conceptual model to maximize the contributions of PHC nurses and understand how legislation and institutional policies influence, namely, the NPE. The review of Lambrou et al.32 analyzes the related factors between NPE and job satisfaction in two contexts: PHC and hospital. These literature reviews examined scientific evidence for different purposes, but any mentions about the subject of the present scoping review. Thus, we consider the evidence presented in it to be of great worldwide scope.
The NPE should be the primary focus of concern for health systems to prevent crises in two areas: the shortage of nurses and the safety of clients10. The PES-NWI scale is an instrument that allows researchers to identify the contributions of the NPE to the results of nursing and clients9,10 and produce consistent and comparable evidence10. As demonstrated by Lake10, PES-NWI allows to expand reflection and knowledge in all conceptual domains10. This instrument is also valid to measure the fundamental variables of the NPE in PHC and also allows to evaluate, analyze and reorient the practices of nurses in this context of care33.
The articles selected for this scoping review used the following measurement instruments: Practice Environment Scale-NWI, in 47.7% of the studies; the scale Nursing Work Index-Revised, in 10.5%; the scale Nurse Practitioner Primary Care Organizational Climate Questionnaire, in 10.5%; the scale Nursing Context Index, in 5.3%; the scale Job Satisfaction Questionnaire, in 5.3%; and the scale Word Health Professions Alliance Scale, in 5.3%. The Practice Environment Scale-NWI remains the most used NPE measurement tool10.
The APE is the most influential factor and has the greatest impact on nursing outcomes and on the perceptions of the quality of care and client safety. These issues are particularly important in the context of the global crisis that has affected countries in recent years32.
There are distinctions between the NPE in the hospital context for that of the PHC context34. Secondly the study of Poghosyan et al.34 is an example of the type of decision making, the relationship between team members and the organizational processes. It is important to reconcile the knowledge of these differences with what those authors34) consider essential in the context of PHC, which is the learning to promote favorable environments on the part of all nurses. It is important that nurses understand the mechanism of action between the NPE and the implications both in the results of organizations and clients, and in the consequences for the professionals themselves.
Nurses occupy a central position in PHC35, and managers can compare the results of NPE assessments between various health organizations to implement distinct improvements9.
Assessment of the Nursing Practice Environment and Professional Satisfaction
Job satisfaction is affected by the NPE, more than any other factor32,36. The NPE consists of the fundamental organizational factor36, which has a strong impact on the organization’s exit intention decisions32,34. If nurses have support and management support19,36 and greater visibility of their interventions, they are more likely to be more satisfied36. It is through an NPE favorable to the practice in PHC that there is greater professional satisfaction34-35,37-40. As for nurse managers, they must have freedom of choice of workplace and must evaluate and manage their workload in order to increase their job satisfaction.41.
Favorable NPE is important for mobilizing necessary resources quickly, for enabling good multidisciplinary relationships and for promoting the quality of nursing care32,38. Nurses consider that there is a good NPE in PHC20.
The Nursing Practice Environment and the recruitment and retention of nurses
The existence of favorable NPEs is a major constraint on the ease of recruitment, of the stability of the teams39 and retention of professionals in PHC, aiming to meet conditions for the quality of care19,34-35,37,40,42. One of the biggest challenges for healthcare organizations is to retain good professionals42. Another factor that contributes to their recruitment and retention is the improvement of the organizational culture in PHC42.
The appropriations are also related to the NPE32. There is an underuse of PHC nurses; if NPEs are improved in this context, professional retention will increase31-32,34,40. If the NPEs are not improved, there will continue to be high levels of turnover31,40.
The Environment of Nursing Practice and the results in clients
Policy makers, health and professional organizations have been proposing to redesign the health system in PHC with the aim of increasing citizens’ accessibility, improving results with clients and maximizing efficiency1.
Studying NPEs in PHC provides evidence on how to increase the quality of nursing care19,39-40 and customer safety, how to improve obtaining results35,39 and decrease customer complications20,31, namely improving disease control and preventing associated risks36.
Improving the Nursing Practice Environment
There is little knowledge and scientific evidence about NPEs in the context of PHC(1, 39), which can affect the expansion of the profession1,19,40,41.
NPE is one of the variables with the greatest impact on the quality of care36. If NPEs are not improved, high levels of stress will continue, burnout e turnover31,40. Burnout is a consequence of unfavorable NPEs32.
Multidisciplinary relationships are a predictive factor for a good NPE36,38. Favorable NPEs have implications for multidisciplinary relationships and the relationship with management/administration to obtain better results19,32,40,43. It appears that there are good multidisciplinary relationships, but that relations with the management bodies of PHC organizations must be improved1,36.
New strategies are needed to improve the NPE, which will lead to better quality of care provided, such as the allocation of more nursing human resources34,39-40,44, resulting in more time for care and more material resources38,44.
The nurse managers, as they have an important role in improving the NPEs19-20,39,42,44, face challenges such as providing greater support and management support19,39,44-45 to their teams, with the development of effective leadership styles19,39,43-45. In addition, they must intervene effectively in improving the NPE due to the concern to obtain results with customers20,41, improving PHC organizational culture42 as well as the organizational climate34,39.
Thus, there is a need for health policies aimed at promoting good NPEs in organizations32,36.
The Nursing Practice Environment and professional development
The NPE in PHC is positive, despite the shortage of nurses20. These have little participation in the management processes, which brings difficulties in their professional development20.
A good NPE favors the autonomous component of the profession33-34,39,45 and it is the best way to keep qualified, committed and motivated nursing teams19. It also favors the use of the best available knowledge and evidence-based practice45-46.
In order to develop better NPEs, PHC organizations must provide conditions for the training of nurses, for the acquisition of knowledge and the development of skills in communication, decision making and multidisciplinary collaboration35. Team cohesion and teamwork is an important factor in the NPE19, and the culture of in-service training improves the skills of nurses and all health professionals19.
The promotion of good NPEs must involve not only nurses in practice, but also nurse managers and organizations themselves34 as well as academia and research.
The presence of competent nurse managers in the decision-making bodies of organizations will influence the NPE and contribute to the efficiency of organizations35. The performance of nurse managers is fundamental for the organizational positioning in view of the necessary improvements in theNPE35.
With all these factors of knowledge about the NPE, nurse managers must take ownership of PHC management19.
Study limitations
Due to the specificity of the NPE theme and the PHC context as well as the respective scarcity of scientific evidence, a limitation of this study was that there were only two articles from the last two years of the research period, which correspond to 10.5% of the included studies. In relation to the last five years of the research period, the studies included were 63% of the total of the 19 included.
Contributions to the field of Nursing
There is a large knowledge gap about NPE in PHC. This literature review intends to contribute to increase this knowledge in the different areas of nurses’ performance: in the provision of care, in management, in research, in teaching and in consulting or advisory services.
CONCLUSION
This review provides evidence, which is scarce, about the NPE in the context of PHC and provides a service to nurses, nurse managers, academics, researchers and health policy makers, contributing to the improvement of the quality of nursing care - in particular, in the context of PHC.
The NPE is the most influential factor with the greatest impact on nursing outcomes and on the perceptions of the quality of care and client safety.
The NPE in the context of PHC is distinguished from the hospital context by the type of decision making, the relationship between team members and the organizational processes. Also, for promoting favorable environments that will contribute to increasing results with clients, nurses and organizations.
Important aspects of the NPE are the multidisciplinary relationship between nurses-doctors and nurses-managers-administrators as well as internal communication in organizations, so they should be promoted.
Poor NPEs hinder both the provision of nursing care and the use of all the skills and knowledge that nurses have and hinder the development and acquisition of new skills quickly. They also give rise to job dissatisfaction, difficulties in recruiting good professionals, burnout e turnover, with harmful consequences for organizations.
Nurse managers contribute strongly to favorable NPEs, need management training and develop these skills to support their teams, leading them, increasing their cohesion and promoting teamwork.
This review showed that the NPE in PHC has the following characteristics: support and management support; nursing leadership; multidisciplinary nurse-physician and nurse-manager-administration relations; results with customers, namely in customer safety; retention of good professionals; and improving the quality of nursing care.
Developing favorable NPEs in the services and in the different PHC units, anywhere in the world, is the best strategy to guarantee the safety of clients and the health of the professionals who care for them. Favorable NPEs are essential to promote excellence in nursing care; they have strong support from nurse managers to their teams; increase job satisfaction, decrease the burnout and turnover; contribute to improving the effectiveness of organizations. In addition, they guarantee a higher level of health, safety and well-being for professionals, with staffing of nurses suited to the needs of clients and the inherent workload. They promote the retention of good nurses; promote motivation through leadership relationships by their managers and leaders, thereby improving productivity and commitment to the organization. Favorable NPEs are more inclusive, generate innovation and intrapreneurship phenomena in organizations. Also, they promote improved service to citizens, improve the care they provide and increase results with customers. Besides, they affect the behavior, performance and results of organizations, teams, nurses and clients.
PHC human capital must increase in quantity and quality, it is essential to know and understand the NPE and how it can be improved. Evidence shows us that there should be investment in promoting favorable NPEs. Otherwise, PHC loses human capital, without which it cannot carry out its mission.
