Abstract

Objective: Describing the necessary steps to conduct a scoping review, focusing on understanding evidence-based nursing care centered on critically ill patients in intensive care units.

The initial phase, following Joanna Briggs guidelines, develops a protocol to ensure clarity and uniformity among reviewers, registered on OSF for transparency and consistency. Results: The organized synthesis of findings through summarized tables and an overview of information will facilitate the comprehension and analysis of data, following Bardin's content analysis methodology for result categorization.  Conclusions: This protocol is essential to guide a scoping review in evidence-based nursing for critical patients in ICUs, providing knowledge mapping and encouraging new investigations and health policies.
