Canadian Critical Care Nursing Standards Revision Part 1: A Scoping Review
Abstract
Background & Purpose: Critical care nursing demands high professional standards to safeguard patient outcomes. The Canadian Association of Critical Care Nurses (CACCN) publishes national standards to define and guide the practice of Canadian critical care nurses (CCNs). To ensure credibility, transparency, and methodological rigor in revising these standards, this scoping review was conducted as the first phase of a standardized protocol to inform the sixth edition of CACCN’s Standards for Critical Care Nursing Practice.
