Main Results:

  • Four studies met inclusion criteria, focusing on spiritual well-being, team commitment, emotional well-being, and mindfulness.
  • Included studies were heterogeneous in focus, definitions, and measures.
  • Studies had small sample sizes and variable quality, limiting generalizability.

Conclusions:

  • Intensive care nurse well-being is an understudied area.
  • Further research is needed to conceptualize well-being, identify correlates, and test interventions.
  • Understanding and promoting well-being are crucial for supporting intensive care nurses.
