felicidad, enfermeiros y enfermeras, salud mental, revisión de alcanceResumen
Marco contextual: la felicidad ha adquirido relevancia en el contexto de la enfermería debido a sus implicaciones para la salud mental, el desempeño profesional y la calidad del cuidado. Objetivo: identificar las evidencias científicas disponibles en la literatura sobre la felicidad en el ejercicio profesional del enfermero. Metodología: revisión de alcance realizada conforme a las recomendaciones del JBI y del PRISMA-ScR, llevada a cabo en ocho bases de datos y en la literatura gris, sin restricción de idioma ni período de publicación. La selección de los estudios se realizó de forma independiente, con extracción y síntesis de los datos en un cuadro sinóptico. Se efectuó un análisis léxico, con la construcción de una nube de palabras, mediante el software IRAMUTEQ. Resultados: la muestra final estuvo compuesta por 23 estudios, evidenciando la felicidad del enfermero como un fenómeno multifactorial, influenciado por aspectos relacionados con el cuidado de la salud, el liderazgo, la autonomía profesional, los recursos institucionales, las relaciones interpersonales, la interacción familiar y la salud mental. Se destacaron asociaciones positivas entre felicidad, autonomía, compromiso, satisfacción laboral y apoyo social, así como relaciones negativas con el estrés ocupacional y el burnout. Conclusión: la felicidad profesional del enfermero resulta de la interacción entre factores individuales, relacionales y organizacionales, siendo esencial promover entornos de trabajo con liderazgo positivo, reconocimiento profesional y atención a la salud mental.
