The following databases were searched by a health sciences librarian: Medline and Medline in Process, Embase Classic and Embase, Cochrane's CENTRAL, APA PsycINFO, CINAHL, and ERIC, from inception to June 2024. Empirical research in English related to the effect of emotions on clinical performance in acute care settings were included. The screening was conducted in duplicate
