Abstract

Abstract:

Objective To conduct a scoping review on the research on nurses’ participation in electroencephalo-gram（EEG） monitoring of critically ill patients，summarizing the roles，influencing factors，and training status of ICU nurses in EEG monitoring. Corresponding improvement strategies were proposed based on the current situation，providing reference for the better application of EEG in the field of critical care in the future. Methods This study was conducted based on methodological framework for scoping reviews. A systematic search was performed across multiple databases，including Embase，PubMed，Scopus，Web of Science，Cochrane Library，EBSCO，ScienceDirect，CNKI，VIP，Wanfang，and Sinomed，for relevant studies from their inception to August 2025. The included studies were then summarized and analyzed. Results A total of 21 articles published from 2012 to 2025 were included. The study categorized the influencing factors of EEG monitoring in critically ill patients into promoting and hindering factors，analyzing personal，environmental，and management aspects. The current situation of fragmented training and lack of post training assessment mechanism for EEG in the field of critical care nursing was elaborated. Conclusion EEG for critical care patient monitoring with nurse participation is essential for providing high-quality health care services. More research is needed in the future to focus on the differentiated functions of different nurse roles，such as senior practice nurses，specialist nurses，etc.，to build a training and education system，to improve the core competencies of EEG monitoring nurses，and to pay attention to the external organizational environment，in order to continually promote the standardized and precise application of EEG in critical care.
