Abstract

Background: The prevalence of missed nursing care and its impact on patient safety and healthcare costs is a growing concern, particularly in the context of the shortage of nursing staff. The relationship between missed nursing care and teamwork has implications for patient outcomes and the trustworthiness of healthcare organizations. The purpose was to determine the relationship between missed nursing care and teamwork in hospital settings.

Methods: Literature review utilized databases such as CINAHL, SCOPUS, PubMed, MEDLINE, and Science Direct.

Results: The review showed that teamwork among nurses is associated with lower levels of MNCs. The reasons for missed nursing care are related to labor resources, communication, and material resources. MNC types include discharge planning, patient education, mouth care, ambulation, monitoring of intake and output, turning patients, vital signs assessment, blood sugar monitoring, medication effectiveness assessments, and attendance at interdisciplinary care conferences.

Conclusions: There is a need for targeted interventions and strategies to improve teamwork and reduce missed nursing care in healthcare settings.
