This review seeks to deepen our understanding of the factors contributing to nursing students' academic dishonesty and the repercussions of such behaviours on their learning in both classroom and clinical settings, and on the integrity of the nursing profession. It was a scoping review in which a five-stage methodological framework informed its process. Six databases were searched for relevant original studies. Other search methods were also conducted using Google Scholar, Trove, and ProQuest Dissertations for theses pertinent to the topic. An inductive descriptive approach was used to analyse and synthesise data. Twenty-seven studies and nine doctoral theses were selected and included in the scoping review. Of these, 25 studies used a quantitative approach, nine studies a qualitative one, and two studies used mixed methods. Three categorical factors, intrapersonal, interpersonal, and external, contributed to nursing students' academic dishonesty. Academic dishonesty in nursing students is concerning. Noted factors contributing to academic dishonesty include stress and pressure experienced by students, the prevalence of peer cheating, and lack of knowledge. Most alarming is the significant correlation between academic dishonesty and clinical dishonesty. The evidence suggests that students who engage in dishonest behaviour in academic settings may be more likely to engage in dishonest behaviour in clinical settings. This raises serious concerns about integrity, ethics, patient safety and the reputation of nursing students, universities, healthcare providers and health professionals.

大学护理学生的学术不诚实：范围界定审查

本综述旨在加深我们对导致护理学生学术不诚实的因素的理解，以及此类行为对他们在课堂和临床环境中的学习以及对护理职业诚信的影响。这是一次范围界定审查，其中五个阶段的方法框架为其流程提供了信息。检索了六个数据库以查找相关原始研究。其他搜索方法还使用 Google Scholar、Trove 和 ProQuest Dissertations 来查找与该主题相关的论文。使用归纳描述方法来分析和综合数据。选择了 27 项研究和 9 篇博士论文并将其纳入范围界定审查。其中，25 项研究使用定量方法，9 项研究使用定性方法，2 项研究使用混合方法。个人内部、人际交往和外部三个因素导致护生学术不诚实。护生的学术不诚实行为令人担忧。导致学术不诚实的著名因素包括学生所经历的压力和压力、同伴作弊的盛行以及知识的缺乏。最令人担忧的是学术不诚实和临床不诚实之间的显着相关性。有证据表明，在学术环境中从事不诚实行为的学生可能更有可能在临床环境中从事不诚实行为。这引发了人们对护理学生、大学、医疗保健提供者和卫生专业人员的诚信、道德、患者安全以及声誉的严重担忧。
