Description: Introduction: The permanent evolution of health information technology has provided professionals with major challenges in maintaining the safety and quality of care provided to people. This has driven the need to develop specific competences in this area and maintain a balance between ethical aspects, social and legal challenges related to privacy and data security. As well as the challenge of ensuring person-centered care practices. It is therefore important to identify instruments that assess how nurses use information technology in the care environment and what competences they develop. Goal: To identify and map instruments that allow us to assess how nurses use information technology in the care environment and what competences they develop. Inclusion criteria: All types of studies containing instruments that assess how nurses use information technologies in their care practice and what competences they develop. Methodology: The preparation of this protocol follows the guidelines of the methodology presented by The Joanna Briggs Institute (2020) and the PRISMA ScR model (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extended for Scoping Reviews) for structuring the collected information. The research will be carried out in three distinct phases supported by Medline, Cochrane databases through the EBSCO, ScienceDirect, Wiley Online Library, Scielo and PubMed platforms. The extracted data and subsequent analysis will be done using the JBI Template Source of Evidence Details, Characteristics and Results Extraction Instrument, adapted to the question of this review. Discussion: Mapping instruments that allow us to assess how nurses use information technology in care processes and what competences they develop, will permit us to identify the most appropriate instrument Key words: nurses, information technology, clinical assessment, competency assessment, instruments, nursing care, clinical competency
