“…Nurse managers found it challenging when working in a management position and not participating in nursing practice (Rudolfsson & Flensner, ; Schroeder & Worral‐Carter, ). One study (Furtado et al, ) pointed out that in some countries, nurse managers are hired through internal searches.…”

“…Analysis revealed that nurse managers often had a bachelor's degree (Karathanasi et al, ; Martin & Waring, ; Rudolfsson & Flensner, ; Rudolfsson et al, ) and few were academically qualified (Kondrat, ; Rudolfsson & Flensner, ; Rudolfsson et al, ). In one study (Siirala et al, ), there was no mention of educational degrees for nurse managers.…”

“…Management was seen to provide personal growth. If nurse managers had previously worked as nurses in the same department, this was seen as an obstacle for adapting to the new role (Rudolfsson & Flensner, ; Schroeder & Worral‐Carter, ). This could also be seen in a study where some nurse managers did not want to call themselves nurse managers but rather wanted to be called sisters (Martin & Waring, ).…”

Aim To describe the nurse manager's role in perioperative settings. Background The nurse manager's role is complex and its content unclear. Research in this area is scarce. We need to better understand what this role is to support the nurse manager's work and decision‐making with information systems. Evaluation An integrative literature review was conducted in May 2018. Databases CINAHL, Cochrane, PubMed and Web of Science were used together with a manual search. The review followed a framework especially designed for integrative reviews. Quality of the literature was analysed with an assessment tool. Nine studies published between 2001 and 2016 were included in the final review. Key issue The findings from the review indicate that the nurse manager's role requires education and experience, and manifests in skills and tasks. A bachelor's degree with perioperative specialisation is the minimum educational requirement for a nurse manager. Conclusion Research lacks a clear description of the nurse manager's role in perioperative settings. However, the role evolves by education. More education provides advanced skills and, thereby, more demanding tasks. Information technology could provide useful support for task management. Implications for Nursing Management These findings can be used to better answer the current and future demands of the nurse manager's work.
