Accurate nursing diagnosis is a primary element of safe nursing care, yet the best ways to teach this skill remain unclear. This scoping review found that active, student-centered approaches may strengthen critical thinking, reflection, and diagnostic competence. It also highlights the need for standardized evaluation tools and longitudinal research to assess whether these methods are sustainable and scalable across settings.
