Abstract The practice environment of nursing professionals is a critical determinant of the quality of care provided, the job satisfaction of nurses, and patient outcomes. Several factors influence this environment, ranging from organizational and structural elements to individual and social dynamics. This review article synthesizes the key factors influencing the nursing practice environment, including leadership, workplace culture, staffing levels, technological advancements, and policy frameworks. Effective leadership styles, particularly transformational and supportive leadership, contribute significantly to creating a positive work environment by promoting teamwork, communication, and professional growth. Adequate nurse staffing is another crucial factor, as understaffing is linked to increased nurse burnout, lower job satisfaction, and poorer patient outcomes. Furthermore, the integration of technology into nursing practice can enhance care delivery, but also presents challenges such as the need for training and adaptation. Workplace culture, characterized by respect, collaboration, and opportunities for professional development, plays a central role in shaping job satisfaction and retention rates. Policy changes, including regulations on nurse-patient ratios, work hours, and compensation, also significantly impact the working conditions of nursing professionals. Additionally, the evolving demands of healthcare, including the aging population and increased chronic disease prevalence, necessitate a flexible and adaptive practice environment. This article highlights the interrelatedness of these factors and offers recommendations for stakeholders, including healthcare organizations and policymakers, to improve the nursing practice environment. By addressing these determinants, it is possible to foster a supportive, sustainable, and effective environment that enhances nurse well-being and patient care outcomes. This paper synthesizes findings from various studies to explore how these factors contribute to the overall work environment in healthcare settings. The review provides valuable insights for healthcare administrators, policymakers, and nursing professionals to improve the practice environment, enhance nurse retention, and ultimately improve patient care outcomes.
Keywords Nursing practice environment, leadership, staffing levels, workplace culture, technology, policy frameworks, job satisfaction, patient outcomes, nurse retention, workplace safety.
