description BackgroundIn Germany, digital transformation and legal regulations are leading to the need to integrate digital technologies into the nursing profession. In addition, to nursing practice, they are also being incorporated into nursing training. Despite comprehensive regulations regarding the use of digital teaching and learning media in nursing education, their specific applicability and implementation vary. ObjectiveThis study aims to map evidence and identify the main concepts, theories, sources, and knowledge gaps in the use of digital teaching and learning formats in nursing and health care education in Germany. MethodsThe study is planned as a scoping review. The reporting of the study is based on the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) 2020 guidelines. The sources of information for the review include six bibliographic databases (MEDLINE via PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science Core Collection, ERIC, PROSPERO, and APA PsycInfo). The search results will be presented in accordance with the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews) checklist. The eligibility of studies is based on the population, concept, and context criteria: (1) learners of nursing and health care professions, (2) digital teaching and learning formats, and (3) forms of implementation in Germany since 2007. ResultsThe literature search is planned for January 2025. The selection of titles, the coding of the data, and the data analysis are expected to be completed by March 2025. ConclusionsIn Germany, there is a growing interest in integrating digital teaching and learning formats into nursing and health care education. Our scoping review will map applications of digital teaching and learning media in the education of nursing and health care professions in Germany. In this way, the scoping review provides relevant impulses for fields of application and design aspects of digital teaching or learning media for nursing and health care education.
