Nurses’ perceptions of decent work: a scoping review

Based on the existing articles evidence, the improvement of decent working standards has a significant positive impact on the quality of nursing services. However, as most studies have adopted cross-sectional designs, future research should explore longitudinal designs to strengthen causal interpretations. Furthermore, future research should employ diverse and systematic methodological approaches to extend investigations of the relationship between decent work and job satisfaction (and its potential mechanisms), as one included study reported no significant association between the two variables.
