Abstract

Objective: to map the available scientific evidence on the influence of clinical nursing leadership on the quality and safety of care in hospital health organizations. Method: scoping review according to the recommendations of the Joanna Briggs Institute and PRISMA-ScR. Search in three stages, in the MEDLINE Complete, CINHAL Complete, Web of Science, Scopus, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses and OpenGrey databases. Results: Most studies show the positive effect of clinical leadership in nursing on the quality of care. The strategies that promote clinical leadership are related to the training of nurses to perform the role. The clinical nurse leader is a model for peers, demonstrates communication skills, mentoring and the ability to influence others. Conclusion: clinical leadership has an impact on the patients, the nurses and the organization. Strategies that enable clinical leadership development should underpin leadership programs in healthcare organizations that aim for safe and quality care.
