Introduction: Missed nurse care is becoming a significant indicator of patient satisfaction and safety. For a variety of reasons, nurses may neglect or forget to provide some care. This study looks into the connection between several elements of the nursing environment and inadequate nursing care. Methods: A literature search of the Cochrane Library, PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, and several Iranian medical databases was performed. Study screening, quality assessment, data extraction, and meta-analysis were conducted according to Cochrane standards. Results: In the examination of the missed nursing care items, the most malpractice was in the re-evaluation item, oral care, and helping the patient toilet, and also the least malpractice was in the meal preparation item, which is significantly related to things such as Finance status, work shift, level of interest, satisfaction with the work environment, income, and gender. Also, all scales of working environment conditions are significantly related to the magnitude of missed nursing care. Conclusion: Missed nursing care is associated with various aspects of working environment conditions, such as the ability to manage and lead nurses and their participation in management affairs, the sufficiency of resources and personnel, and the existence of sufficient infrastructure to raise the standard of care and the relationship between doctor and nurse as a therapeutic team.
