Beiboer C, Andela R, Hafsteinsdóttir TB, et al. Teamwork, clinical leadership skills and environmental factors that influence missed nursing care – a qualitative study on hospital wards. Nurse Educ Pract. 2023;68:103603. doi:10.1016/j.nepr.2023.103603.
Myriad factors contribute to missed nursing care including staffing, team and group norms, and teamwork. Nurses in this study described four themes that contributed to missed nursing care: teamwork in nursing wards; informal teaching and communication; influence of formal and informal leaders; and influencing factors in nurses’ work environment. Developing nurses' clinical leadership skills may improve teamwork and reduce missed care.
