Abstract

Purpose: The study, therefore, seeks to establish the factors that influence the performance of nurses towards the overall healthcare improvement.Methodology: This study adopted a desk survey design. This involved an in-depth review of studies in relation to nurses' performance and healthcare improvement. An in-depth search of the top keywords related to nurses' performance and healthcare improvement was done in various databases. Thus, the seminar paper was purely qualitative, drawing its findings from secondary sources of information.Findings: The study finds that workload, payment and salaries, working conditions and leadership affect the performance of nurses towards the overall healthcare improvement. Unique contribution to theory, policy, and practice: Mismatch of human resources with workload and lack of clarity with regard to duties have maximum correlation with poor quality of care. Organizational structure and communication program categories gained the highest and lowest importance respectively. This information could be used by nursing managers and policy makers to plan programs in order to improve the quality of clinical nursing services. Clinical governance is considered as a framework for improving the quality of clinical services in nursing. Professional nursing practice standards are valid expression tasks that are expected of all nurses regardless of their roles and expertise in communities to be done with merit.
