Introduction: Smartphones have greatly impacted healthcare and education. Due to COVID-19, digital technologies have accelerated in nursing education, leading to more flexible and innovative learning methods. However, further research is needed to understand the impact and extent of smartphone usage in clinical training and education.
Objective: To explore and map the existing evidence on how nursing students utilize smartphones in clinical practice, focusing on their role as an alternative or supportive strategy to the teaching-learning process.
Methods: Guided by the Joanna Briggs Institute's methodology for scoping reviews, this study will search relevant electronic databases and grey literature, employing terms such as "smartphone use," "nursing students," "clinical practice," and "teaching-learning process." The review will include various study designs, including quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods research and systematic reviews.
Results: The findings are anticipated to contribute to exploring the multifaceted ways nursing students are anticipated to employ smartphones in clinical settings, focusing on identifying potential benefits, challenges, and outcomes associated with their use.
Conclusion: Smartphone usage in nursing education can yield insights to enhance teaching methods, increase student engagement, and address remote learning challenges. Findings can identify research gaps and guide future studies. This protocol is registered in the Open Science Framework.
