Summary
This scoping review clarifies Nursing Care Management and Nursing Care Administration. Nursing Care Management focuses on macro-level, strategic-cognitive nursing roles, while Nursing Care Administration emphasizes micro-level, strategic-administrative functions.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Science
- Healthcare Management
- Health Services Research
Background:
- Distinguishing between Nursing Care Management and Nursing Care Administration is crucial for effective healthcare delivery.
- Existing literature presents overlapping concepts, necessitating a clear conceptualization.
Purpose of the Study:
- To clarify the concepts of Nursing Care Management and Nursing Care Administration.
- To highlight the approximations and distinctions between these two nursing roles in scientific literature.
Main Methods:
- A scoping review was conducted following the Joanna Briggs Institute protocol.
- Searches were performed across LILACS, CINAHL, MEDLINE, and Scopus databases.
- The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines were adhered to.
Main Results:
- Analysis of 49 studies published between 2007 and 2020.
- Hospital care emerged as the predominant setting.
- Nursing Care Management involves macropolitical nursing performance using strategic-cognitive skills.
- Nursing Care Administration involves micropolitical nursing performance using strategic-administrative skills.
Conclusions:
- The study successfully proposed a conceptualization for Nursing Care Management and Nursing Care Administration.
- Key differences and similarities between the two terms were identified.
- This conceptual clarity can inform nursing practice and education.
