Background Early assessment and management of patients with sepsis can significantly reduce its high mortality rates and improve patient outcomes and quality of life. Objectives The purposes of this review are to: (1) explore nurses’ knowledge, attitude, practice, and perceived barriers and facilitators related to early recognition and management of sepsis, (2) explore different interventions directed at nurses to improve sepsis management. Methods A systematic review method according to the PRISMA guidelines was used. An electronic search was conducted in March 2021 on several databases using combinations of keywords. Two researchers independently selected and screened the articles according to the eligibility criteria. Results Nurses reported an adequate of knowledge in certain areas of sepsis assessment and management in critically ill adult patients. Also, nurses’ attitudes toward sepsis assessment and management were positive in general, but they reported some misconceptions regarding antibiotic use for patients with sepsis, and that sepsis was inevitable for critically ill adult patients. Furthermore, nurses reported they either were not well-prepared or confident enough to effectively recognize and promptly manage sepsis. Also, there are different kinds of nurses’ perceived barriers and facilitators related to sepsis assessment and management: nurse, patient, physician, and system-related. There are different interventions directed at nurses to help in improving nurses’ knowledge, attitudes, and practice of sepsis assessment and management. These interventions include education sessions, simulation, decision support or screening tools for sepsis, and evidence-based treatment protocols/guidelines. Discussion Our findings could help hospital managers in developing continuous education and staff development training programs on assessing and managing sepsis in critical care patients. Conclusion Nurses have poor to good knowledge, practices, and attitudes toward sepsis as well as report many barriers related to sepsis management in adult critically ill patients. Despite all education interventions, no study has collectively targeted critical care nurses’ knowledge, attitudes, and practice of sepsis management.

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Control over nursing practice is crucial for improved quality of life for nursing home (NH) residents. Nevertheless, little is known about the association of nurses’ demographic data with their perceived control over nursing practice in Jordan and beyond. Therefore, this study aimed at examining the differences in nurses’ levels of perceived control over nursing practice based on their demographic characteristics. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> This descriptive-correlational study was conducted on a convenience sample of 163 nurses caring for NH residents. Nurses’ perceived control over nursing practice was measured by the Control Over Nursing Practice (CONP) scale. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The participating nurses were found to have low levels of perceived control over nursing practice which varied between the nurse groups according to gender, level of experience, and type of NHs. <b><i>Discussion/Conclusion:</i></b> This study is the first quantitative study to examine association between nurses’ demographic characteristics, such as age or years of nursing experience, and their perceived control over nursing practice. Despite the preliminary findings of this study, the findings of this study provide a better understanding of the impact of nurses’ sociodemographic and professional characteristics on their levels of perceived control over nursing practice.
