This scoping review aims to explore the current utilization of technologies in teaching clinical nursing skills, identifying the employed technologies and technological features in nursing education. Following the Arksey and O'Malley framework, this review systematically identified and analyzed relevant literature across various databases, including MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, and CINAHL. The search strategy encompassed articles published from 1995 to August 2023, with a focus on educational technologies in nursing clinical education. The review adhered to the PRISMA-ScR checklist and the Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewers' Manual. A total of 58 studies were included, spanning from 1995 to 2023, with a geographical distribution across multiple countries. The majority of studies involved nursing students, with a variety of methodologies and data collection methods employed. The review identified several types of technology used, such as social media, online web-based courses, mobile applications, educational videos, virtual reality, serious games, and e-simulation. These technologies were applied in diverse areas of nursing education, including premature infant care, stroke patient care, airway care, and basic nursing skills. This scoping review provides a comprehensive overview of the technological landscape in nursing clinical education, informing educators, policymakers, and practitioners about the available resources and their potential to improve nursing education and patient care.
