Strategies for Academic Integrity Orientation in Undergraduate Nursing Programs: A Scoping Review.

Background: Promoting academic integrity is an essential role of nurse educators. This scoping review examined best practices for orienting undergraduate nursing students on academic integrity policies. Methods: CINAHL Plus, ERIC, and Academic Search Premier databases were searched for studies published in English since 2013. In addition, reference lists of included studies were hand-searched for supplementary articles. Included studies focused on academic integrity policy orientation practices in higher education. Results: Data from 10 included studies are presented in this review. Few studies on academic policy orientation practices specific to nursing (n = 1) exist. Most of the studies (n = 8) focused on higher education practices with no specific discipline focus. Conclusion: Future research should focus on academic integrity policy orientation in nursing education. Nurse educators can implement generalizable recommendations from current literature. Recommendations include promoting a positive environment of academic integrity and faculty-led policy orientation practices. [J Nurs Educ. 2025;64(1):40–43.] [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
