BACKGROUND Nurses make up the largest constituent of the health workforce. The success of health care interventions depends on nurses' ability and willingness to provide quality health care services. A well-implemented performance management (PM) system can be a valuable asset in ensuring that nurses are motivated, promoted, trained and rewarded appropriately. Despite the significant benefits of effective PM such as improved motivation, job satisfaction and morale, PM systems are highly contested. Therefore, it is important to examine evidence on PM methods and practices in order to understand its consequences among nursing professionals in primary health care (PHC) settings. METHODS The search strategy of this systematic scoping review will involve various electronic databases which include Academic Search Complete, PsycARTICLES. PsycINFO, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Applied Health Literature, Medline and Cochrane Library from the EbsocHost Database Platform. Electronic databases such as PubMed and Google Scholar, Union catalogue of theses and dissertations via SABINET online and WorldCat dissertations will be incorporated. A grey literature search will be conducted on websites such as the World Health Organization and government websites to find relevant policies and guidelines. The period for the search is from 1978 to 2018. This time period was chosen to coincide with the Declaration of Alma-Ata on PHC adopted in 1978. All references will be exported to Endnote library. Two independent reviewers will begin screening for eligible titles, abstracts and full articles. During title and abstract screening, duplicates will be removed. The Mixed Method Appraisal Tool will determine the quality of included studies. Thematic analysis will be used to analyse the included articles. DISCUSSION Evidence of preferences on PM methods and practices will generate insight on the use of PM systems in PHC and how this can be used for the purpose of improving nurses' performance and in turn, the provision of quality health care. We hope to expose knowledge gaps and inform future research.

初级卫生保健机构护士的绩效管理方法和实践：系统范围界定审查协议。

背景技术护士是卫生人员队伍中最大的组成部分。卫生保健干预措施的成功取决于护士提供优质卫生保健服务的能力和意愿。实施良好的绩效管理（PM）系统可以成为确保护士得到适当激励、晋升、培训和奖励的宝贵资产。尽管有效的 PM 具有显着的好处，例如提高积极性、工作满意度和士气，但 PM 系统仍存在激烈的争议。因此，检查 PM 方法和实践的证据非常重要，以便了解其对初级卫生保健 (PHC) 环境中护理专业人员的影响。方法 本系统范围界定审查的检索策略将涉及各种电子数据库，其中包括Academic Search Complete、PsycARTICLES。PsycINFO、护理和应用健康文献累积索引、EbsocHost 数据库平台的 Medline 和 Cochrane 图书馆。将纳入 PubMed 和 Google Scholar 等电子数据库、SABINET 在线论文和论文联合目录以及 WorldCat 论文。将在世界卫生组织、政府网站等网站上进行灰色文献检索，寻找相关政策和指南。检索时间为1978年至2018年。选择该时间段是为了与1978年通过的阿拉木图PHC宣言一致。所有参考文献将导出到Endnote图书馆。两名独立审稿人将开始筛选符合条件的标题、摘要和全文。在标题和摘要筛选过程中，重复项将被删除。混合方法评估工具将确定纳入研究的质量。主题分析将用于分析所包含的文章。讨论 对 PM 方法和实践的偏好证据将产生对 PM 系统在 PHC 中的使用以及如何将其用于提高护士绩效进而提供优质医疗保健的见解。我们希望揭示知识差距并为未来的研究提供信息。
