Abstract:
Objective To identify barriers and facilitators to implementing environmentally sustainable practices in nursing work through a scoping review,providing support for low-carbon nursing strategies.Meth-ods The PRISMA process was employed to search four databases:Web of Science,PubMed,CINAHL,and Scopus.We screened studies that explored environmentally sustainable practices in nursing work,focused on healthcare organizations,and provided insights into barriers and facilitators,and identified barriers and facilita-tors.Results A total of 718 articles published from January 2020 to June 2024 were screened,and 9 studies were ultimately included and analyzed.Barriers to implementing environmental sustainability practices in nursing work include insufficient personal knowledge and skills,lack of leadership and resource support from institutions,and limitations in policies and infrastructure.Facilitators include transformational leadership,clear responsibilities,and resource assurance.The study emphasizes that strong leadership,participatory approa-ches,and continuing education are crucial for successful implementation of environmental sustainability prac-tices.Conclusion Future research should focus on promoting low-carbon strategies in nursing practice.
