Abstract

Aim: This scoping review aimed to explore supportive practice environment initiatives that support novice and expert nurses and midwives. Design: Scoping review. Methods: Studies were identified through the electronic databases Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), MEDLINE, PsychInfo, Scopus, and Web of Science. Grey literature was searched using GreyNet, National Grey Literature Collection, ProQuest Dissertation and Theses, and Google Scholar. Results: Thirty-one papers met the criteria for inclusion and data extraction. The key concepts identified were the need for adequate staffing and resources, clear and regular communication, managerial presence and engagement in committees and relationship building, celebration and recognition of staff efforts, career mapping, shared decision-making at the unit level, a positive organisational culture that promotes inclusivity and wellbeing, mentoring, support, and succession planning. Conclusion: Implementation of support initiatives can increase job satisfaction for nurses and midwives across the career trajectory, resulting in them remaining in the profession.
