The aim of the study is to develop a theoretical model of the determinants of employee engagement in nursing, to illustrate the complex problem of employee engagement in nursing in Slovenia, and to examine and identify the factors that influence the strengthening of employee engagement.

METHODS
This review was guiding using preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses review protocol incorporating the research guestion of “What are the most important factors of nursing staff engagement in nursing care in Slovenia?” The databases used in this review include Scopus, PubMed, COBISS, CINAH, and MedLine.

RESULTS
Based on the analysis of scientific articles and monographs, we developed a theoretical model of the determinants of employee engagement in nursing, which we classified into six subcategories: Management, leadership, communication, education, career development, and quality nursing service.
