Summary
Further research is needed to explore the development of Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) practice and its impact on nursing care outcomes and the care environment. Staff development needs were identified across expertise levels.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Leadership
- Healthcare Quality Improvement
- Clinical Practice Development
Background:
- The Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) role emphasizes outcomes-based practice and quality improvement.
- Existing literature details CNL training and integration, but practice development and impact require further exploration.
Purpose of the Study:
- To synthesize literature on Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) practice development.
- To identify influences on the care environment and nursing care outcomes related to CNL practice.
Main Methods:
- An integrative literature review was performed.
- Searched 5 bibliographic databases for English-language sources from January 2012 to March 2023.
Main Results:
- Fifteen publications were identified, revealing 3 interconnected themes: CNL practice, outcomes, and practice development.
- Identified staff development needs across diverse nursing expertise levels.
Conclusions:
- Further investigation into Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) practice development is warranted.
- Exploring the impact of CNL practice on the care environment and patient outcomes is crucial.

01:15Nursing Evaluation
3.3K
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.
