Description: Aim: To map the teaching methodologies used in the teaching of mental health nursing. This study intends to answer the research questions: a) What are the teaching methodologies used in mental health nursing education? b) In what level of education are these teaching methodologies used? Method: A scoping review (ScR) will be conducted using the Joanna Briggs Institute's methodology for conducting Scoping Reviews. For the research strategy and identification of studies, this electronic databases will be consulted: MEDLINE (via Pubmed), CINAHL Complete (via EBSCOhost), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Scielo, and Scopus. In addition, the search for unpublished studies will include the Scientific Repository for Open Access of Portugal (RCAAP), and OpenGrey. The research strategy will include all articles published in Portuguese, Spanish and English without a time limit. Results: Based on the objective and research questions, the data will be presented in a narrative format, using tables. The mapping of the available evidence on teaching methodologies in mental health nursing will contribute to the dissemination of the available evidence on this subject matter. Conclusion: We hope that this ScR will contribute to the critical reflection of teaching methodologies in mental health nursing given their potential impact on learning and on the development of skills of nursing students.
