Barriers to advancing women nurses in healthcare leadership: a systematic review and meta-synthesis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Women comprise the majority of the nursing profession, yet nurses are underrepresented in healthcare leadership. We aimed to explore barriers for women nurses to advance in healthcare leadership to inform organisational interventions for career advancement.

Methods

In this systematic review and meta-synthesis, studies examining advancing women nurses and midwives in leadership within healthcare and academia in the international literature were included. Six databases (MEDLINE, EMCARE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, PubMed, and CINAHL PLUS) were searched for studies published in English between January 1 2000 and October 17 2023. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation tools (GRADE) was followed to assess confidence in the findings. Retrieved full
