Collaboration and coordination among nursing team members impact the quality of care provided in healthcare institutions. This review aimed to analyze and discuss the influence of nursing teamwork on the quality of care. It is an integrative review. The search for original articles of primary research was conducted in the second week of February 2024, in the Scopus database. The review was guided by the following question: “What is the literature’s perspective on the influence of nursing teamwork on the quality of care?” The terms used were: “nursing,” “teamwork,” and “care.” Original research articles published in English in scientific journals within the last 10 years, including nurses as participants, whose full texts were available online, and that met the review’s objectives were included. Initially, 14 articles were found, of which six were included in this review. The selected articles were assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT). It was identified that the way nursing teams work varies according to the department; however, nursing teamwork always impacts the quality of care, regardless of the sector. It was also observed that role and function ambiguities, difficulties in adapting to changes, exhausting work schedules, poor communication, professional training failures, inadequate leadership styles and nursing shortages are among the obstacles to forming cohesive nursing teams. In conclusion, nursing professionals should receive education to work as a team. Additionally, nurse managers play fundamental roles in developing healthy work environments that promote the formation and maintenance of cohesive nursing teams. It is important to note that the leadership styles adopted by nurse managers guide the attitudes of other team members, as nurse managers are role models for their followers. Thus, collaboration, effective communication, and coordination among nursing team members are strongly influenced by nurse managers.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessHealth ManagementLeadershipNurse AdministratorsNursingQuality of Health CareTeamworkConference Object10.5281/zenodo.11211705447486
