dc.description.abstract	AIM: To report organisational factors known to positively contribute to nurses' well-being in the workplace. DESIGN: Integrative literature review. METHODS: Peer-reviewed journal articles using various methodological approaches, and theoretical works, published in English with a focus on organisational factors and nurses' well-being were included. Papers reporting on other healthcare professional groups and/or nursing students were excluded. Data were synthesised into an integrative review, with findings organised theoretically, according to the PERMA model (Positive emotions, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, Accomplishment), otherwise known as The Well-being Model. DATA SOURCES: Relevant papers published between May 2020 and April 2025 were identified using CINAHL and PsycINFO electronic databases. Search date, April 24, 2025. RESULTS: The review included 18 articles, mostly from Europe and the United States, examining workplace factors that contribute to the health and well-being of nurses. Mapping findings to the PERMA domains showed that organisational support and individual strategies together foster flourishing among nurses. CONCLUSION: This review highlights both individual factors (such as self-care, strength use and adaptive coping) and organisational structures (including supportive environments, professional development and recognition) that are essential for nurses' well-being and flourishing. However, effective interventions require systemic change, with leadership and education playing key roles in supporting nurses to flourish in the workplace. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: This review addressed the need to go beyond deficit models of nurses' well-being to pinpoint specific organisational factors that can help nurses to flourish. Prioritising nurse well-being is vital for high-quality, safe and sustainable healthcare systems. Investing in environments where nurses can flourish benefits both individuals and the broader healthcare system. REPORTING METHOD: This integrative review was reported following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: This study did not include patient or public involvement in its design, conduct or reporting.

Abstract:

AIM: To report organisational factors known to positively contribute to nurses' well-being in the workplace. DESIGN: Integrative literature review. METHODS: Peer-reviewed journal articles using various methodological approaches, and theoretical works, published in English with a focus on organisational factors and nurses' well-being were included. Papers reporting on other healthcare professional groups and/or nursing students were excluded. Data were synthesised into an integrative review, with findings organised theoretically, according to the PERMA model (Positive emotions, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, Accomplishment), otherwise known as The Well-being Model. DATA SOURCES: Relevant papers published between May 2020 and April 2025 were identified using CINAHL and PsycINFO electronic databases. Search date, April 24, 2025. RESULTS: The review included 18 articles, mostly from Europe and the United States, examining workplace factors that contribute to the health and well-being of nurses. Mapping findings to the PERMA domains showed that organisational support and individual strategies together foster flourishing among nurses. CONCLUSION: This review highlights both individual factors (such as self-care, strength use and adaptive coping) and organisational structures (including supportive environments, professional development and recognition) that are essential for nurses' well-being and flourishing. However, effective interventions require systemic change, with leadership and education playing key roles in supporting nurses to flourish in the workplace. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: This review addressed the need to go beyond deficit models of nurses' well-being to pinpoint specific organisational factors that can help nurses to flourish. Prioritising nurse well-being is vital for high-quality, safe and sustainable healthcare systems. Investing in environments where nurses can flourish benefits both individuals and the broader healthcare system. REPORTING METHOD: This integrative review was reported following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: This study did not include patient or public involvement in its design, conduct or reporting.
