Abstract
Introduction: Healthcare systems often use overtime to manage nursing shortage and to provide continuous and required nursing care. Studies have examined the impact of working overtime on both nurse and patient outcomes with conflicting results. Objectives: We aim to summarize existing evidence on the association between overtime work and nurse and patient outcomes; and to identify avenues for future research. Method: A systematic search of MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Scopus, Campbell, and Cochrane Library will be conducted to identify relevant studies on the association between overtime and nurse and patient outcomes. The period covered will be from April 2013 to May 2025. Two independent reviewers will perform screening, study selection, and data extraction. A qualitative synthesis of the available evidence will be performed. The results will be reported in tables. Discussion and Research Spin-offs: This systematic review will inform nursing research and practice and provide valuable recommendations that can be used to guide policies and managers’ decisions regarding working overtime in nursing settings.

Résumé
Introduction : Les infirmières travaillent souvent des heures supplémentaires pour combler la pénurie d’infirmières et pour répondre aux besoins des patients. Des études ont examiné les associations entre les heures supplémentaires et leurs conséquences chez les infirmières et les patients, mais leurs résultats sont contradictoires. Objectifs : Cette étude vise à synthétiser systématiquement les écrits empiriques sur les caractéristiques des heures supplémentaires, ainsi que leurs associations avec les résultats chez les infirmières et les patients, et à identifier des avenues pour des recherches futures. Méthode : Les bases de données MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Scopus, Campbell et Cochrane Library seront interrogées systématiquement pour identifier les études pertinentes sur l’association entre les heures supplémentaires et leurs résultats chez l’infirmière et le patient. La période couverte s’étendra d’avril 2013 à mai 2025. Deux évaluateurs indépendants effectueront la sélection des articles et l’extraction des données. Une synthèse narrative des données sera réalisée. Les résultats seront rapportés dans des tableaux. Discussion et retombées anticipées : Cette revue systématique informera la recherche et la pratique infirmière et fournira des recommandations précieuses pouvant être utilisées pour orienter les politiques et les décisions des gestionnaires concernant les heures supplémentaires en milieu de soins infirmiers.
