In addition, this review analyzes how technological, organizational, and contextual factors infuence the development and practical application of this competency and identifes the key barriers and facilitators that specifcally impact its growth and use in managerial practice. Background: Nurse managers’ decision-making abilities are essential for organizational performance in rapidly evolving healthcare systems. Despite its relevance, the specifc characteristics that defne this competency have not been thoroughly examined. Following our research methodology, we searched the Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHL, and PubMed electronic databases, focusing on the decision-making characteristics of nurse managers between January 2009 and February 2025. Results: Twenty-fve studies were included, identifying 15 core characteristics that defne nurse managers’ decision-making competency. Te most frequently reported characteristics were professional values and ethics, information processing, systems and data management, and risk management. Technology was consistently identifed as a critical facilitator of decision-making, enabling efcient information access and analysis. Conversely, high levels of stress and the complexity of healthcare environments were identifed as the primary barriers to efective decision-making. Conclusions: Strengthening decision-making competency in nurse managers requires the development of ethical reasoning, data literacy, systems thinking, and risk evaluation. Technological profciency is essential to enhance decision quality, while orga- nizational stressors must be managed to reduce cognitive load and improve performance. Implications for Nursing Management: Tese fndings support the design of targeted training programs, particularly those using simulation and virtual reality, focused on strengthening decision-making competency, a critical skill for efective nursing management. Developing this competency enhances nurse managers’ ability to navigate complex clinical and organizational challenges, make ethically sound decisions, and lead their teams with greater confdence and strategic insight.SIWileyEnfermeriaFacultad de Ciencias de la Salud2025info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttps://hdl.handle.net/10612/25152reponame:BULERIA.
