Objective Based on the three-dimensional quality structure model，a scoping review of the names，contents，and frequencies of ICU nursing quality evaluation indicators at home and abroad were conducted to provide reference for the construction of evaluation indicators of ICU nursing quality which is suitable for Chinese environment. Methods Based on the research framework proposed by Arksey and O`Malley，we searched PubMed，Embase，Web of science，Cochrane，China Knowledge Network，Wanfang database，from the establishment of the database to April 15，2024. Data selection and graphing was done by two researchers，using qualitative content analysis methods to qualitatively summarize the extracted contents. Results 18 articles were finally included. Most of the included studies used the Donabedian model（55.56%） as the theoretical framework. The basic method to form the indicators was mostly based on the literature review（72.22%），and then Delphi expert correspondence（88.89%），ultimately resulting in 3 first-level indicators，15 second-level indicators，and 115 third-level indicators，with a cumulative frequency of 784. Conclusion Evaluation indicators of ICU nursing quality have developed in the direction of evidence-based，scientific and professionalization，but there are still differences with the foreign index system，so it is necessary to further strengthen the quantity and quality of structural quality inputs，focusing on basic nursing care and nursing operations in process quality，while emphasizing the “patient-centered” outcome quality. In the future，we need to build a new type of high-quality，operable，and localized evaluation indicators for ICU nursing quality.
