Methods: This study used an integrative approach based on Whittemore and Knaf's use to conduct the review. The articles used are published from 2012 to 2020 using the Proquest, Pubmed, and Science Direct databases. Results: The search returned 15 articles that met the inclusion criteria. Positive psychological capital has a positive relationship to nurse performance. Interventions for nurses to improve performance by increasing positive psychological capital must be developed and made available to nurses.
