Abstract

Purpose: To investigate evidence of nurse practitioner (NP)-led, NP-delivered depression care to primary care patients and make recommendations based on that evidence. Methods: PubMed, ProQuest, CINAHL, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science were searched in January 2022, and reference lists of included studies were hand searched in April 2022. Results: Included studies (n = 10) involved team-based primary care and 3 team categories emerged: family (F)NP and psychiatric mental health (PMH)NP-led teams (n = 3), PMHNP-led teams (n = 5), and FNP-led teams (n = 2). Conclusions: There was an association between NP-led, NP-delivered care and improved depressive symptomatology in primary care patients.
