Abstract
Introduction: The omission of nursing care, characterized by the failure to perform necessary tasks due to various constraints (Kalisch et al., 2009), is a critical issue affecting healthcare globally (Aiken et al., 2018). This phenomenon is particularly pronounced in emergency departments (EDs), where high patient acuity and workload challenges often lead to lapses in care delivery.
Objective: This scoping review aims to map the literature on nursing care omitted in EDs and the instruments used to measure the omission of nursing care in this setting.
Method: We will follow Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines for scoping reviews and report according to PRISMA-ScR recommendations (Peters et al., 2020). Eligibility criteria include studies with nurses working in EDs, focusing on omitted nursing care, using a measurement instrument and adopting quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods designs.
Discussion and Research Spin-offs: This review will provide an overview of nursing care omissions in EDs and the instruments used to measure them, thus shedding light on research needs and practical implications for improving care quality and patient safety.

Résumé
Introduction : L’omission des soins infirmiers, caractérisée par la non-complétion de tâches et de soins nécessaires en raison de diverses contraintes (Kalisch et al., 2009) est un problème critique affectant les soins de santé à l’échelle mondiale (Aiken et al., 2018). Ce phénomène est particulièrement préoccupant dans les services d’urgence (SU), où l’acuité élevée des patients et les défis liés à la surcharge de travail conduisent souvent à des lacunes dans la prestation des soins.
Objectif : Cette revue de la portée vise à cartographier les écrits scientifiques sur les soins infirmiers omis dans les SU et les instruments utilisés pour mesurer ces omissions.
Méthode : Nous suivrons les directives de l’Institut Joanna Briggs pour les revues de la portée et rapporterons les écrits selon les recommandations PRISMA-ScR (Peters et al., 2020). Les critères d’éligibilité incluent les études portant sur des infirmiers et infirmières travaillant dans les SU, se concentrant sur les activités de soins infirmiers omises, utilisant un instrument de mesure et adoptant des devis de recherche quantitative, qualitative ou mixte.
Discussion et retombées anticipées : Cette revue fournira une vue d’ensemble des omissions de soins infirmiers dans les SU et des instruments utilisés pour les mesurer, éclairant ainsi les besoins en recherche et les implications pratiques pour améliorer la qualité des soins et la sécurité des patients.
