ABSTRACT (Maximum of 1500 characters including spaces)Introduction: Transgender people face barriers in accessing healthcare, often due to nurses' lack of training and awareness. Invisibility, prejudice, and limited knowledge about gender diversity contribute to discriminatory practices. Given nursing’s role in providing direct and humanised care, identifying essential competencies is key to developing inclusive practices.
Objective: To identify and map the competencies nurses should prioritise when caring for transgender people.
Methods: This Scoping Review follows Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) guidelines and PRISMA-ScR. It includes studies from 2018 onwards, in Portuguese, English or Spanish, focusing on nursing competencies in adult transgender care. The search will be conducted in PubMed, LILACS, Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHL Complete, and Cochrane Plus Collection (via EBSCOhost). Two independent reviewers will conduct the selection and extraction. Any disagreements will be resolved by a third reviewer. Data will be described narratively. The protocol is registered on the Open Science Framework.
Conclusion: This review aims to identify key nursing competencies that support the creation of a good practice guide and foster equitable, humanized care for transgender individuals.
