Registration of the scoping review entitled " Advancing the Delphi Technique: A Critical Review of Literature on Nursing Competence Studies ". We are pleased to register our scoping review on the use of the Delphi technique in the study of professional competence in nursing. Our aim is to explore and perform a critical review of the literature, to identify, describe and analyse examples of the use of the Delphi technique in the study of professional competence in nursing, exploring the methodological options of the authors of the different primary studies included, pointing out and critically analysing those that may better respond to the specificity and demand that the study of professional competence imposes on research. Our review will follow the established framework of scoping reviews, including a comprehensive search strategy, selection of relevant studies, data extraction and analysis, and synthesis of findings. We will systematically search electronic databases, including PubMed, Web of Science (Clarivate), CINAHL (EBSCO) and MEDLINE (EBSCO), to identify relevant studies published in the last ten years. We will include primary studies concerning the use of the Delphi technique in the study of professional competence in nursing (definition/updating of reference frameworks in nursing and development of instruments for measuring and assessing nurses' professional competence). Two independent reviewers will examine all the identified studies' titles, abstracts and full-text articles. Data will be extracted using a standardised form, including study characteristics, practice setting factors and evidence-based practice outcomes. Our review will provide valuable insights into the use of the Delphi technique in this field of nursing research, which can inform strengthening the methodological quality of Delphi studies and thus their rigour, reliability and validity. We plan to disseminate our findings through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations. We look forward to conducting this scoping review and contributing to the growing literature on the Delphi technique. |
