“…Within their borders, nurses in low-income countries capitalized on their relationships with each other and with providers from other disciplines to coordinate care [ 47 , 53 , 57 , 82 , 83 ]. In one article, palliative care nurses described themselves as “spiders in a web” weaving a network between patients, other health care providers, family members, religious leaders and community volunteers [ 82 ].…”

“…Lack of competitive salary schemes was said to negatively impact personnel retention [ 53 ] and reduce motivation to seek additional academic qualifications because salaries did not increase in tandem with added credentials [ 91 , 92 ].

BackgroundAttention is turning to nurses, who form the greatest proportion of health personnel worldwide, to play a greater role in delivering health services amidst a severe human resources for health crisis and overwhelming disease burden in low-income countries. Nurse leaders in low-income countries must consider essential context for nurses to fulfill their professional obligation to deliver safe and reliable health services. Professional practice models (PPMs) have been proposed as a framework for strategically positioning nurses to impact health outcomes. PPMs comprise 5 elements: professional values, patient care delivery systems, professional relationships, management approach and remuneration. In this paper, we synthesize the existing literature on PPMs for nurses in low-income countries.MethodsAn integrative review of CINAHL-EBSCO, PubMed and Scopus databases for English language journal articles published after 1990. Search terms included nurses, professionalism, professional practice models, low-income countries, developing countries and relevant Medical Subject Heading Terms (MeSH).ResultsSixty nine articles published between 1993 and 2014 were included in the review. Twenty seven articles examined patient care delivery models, 17 professional relationships, 12 professional values, 11 remuneration and 1 management approach. One article looked at comprehensive PPMs.ConclusionsAdopting comprehensive PPMs or their components can be a strategy to exploit the capacity of nurses and provide a framework for determining the full expression of the nursing role.
