    (Ghana Journal of Nursing and Midwifery, 2024-09-02) Asare, Bismarck; Brobbey, Samuel Sanaa; Asamoah-Atakorah, Shadrach; Selorm, Johnson Mensah Sukah
    Purpose: To analyze stakeholder perspectives on nursing credential upgrades, comparing global, sub-Saharan African and Ghanaian contexts. Method: A comprehensive literature review was conducted using systematic search strategies across multiple databases. Thematic analysis was employed to identify key themes and patterns in stakeholder perspectives. Findings: Common themes across all levels include a push for higher qualifications, emphasis on competency-based education, and recognition of stakeholder involvement importance. Unique challenges in the Ghanaian context include resource constraints and rapid healthcare system changes. Conclusion: Successful nursing credential upgrades require balancing global standards with local needs, addressing resource constraints, and ensuring meaningful stakeholder engagement. Recommendations: Implement comprehensive curriculum reforms, strengthen faculty development programs, and establish formal mechanisms for stakeholder participation in policy development. Significance: This analysis provides valuable insights for policymakers and educators involved in nursing education reforms, contributing to efforts to strengthen health systems through improved healthcare workforce education.
