Psoriasis affects 1%–3% of the world population. Given the physical, emotional, and social influences on people’s quality of life, treatment must take a comprehensive approach. Objective: In this study, we aimed to map the non-pharmacological practices used in the care of people with psoriasis in different healthcare settings. Methods: Scoping review conducted according to the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines and guided by Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for scoping reviews. The research question was structured based on the PCC (population, concept, and context) strategy: population (people with psoriasis), concept (non-pharmacological practices), and context (health care settings). Searches were performed in the Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, SCOPUS, Web of Science, MEDLINE via PubMed, and OasisBr databases, without time limits, in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. Two independent reviewers performed the selection and extraction of data. A total of 753 studies were identified, of which 7 met the inclusion criteria. Results: The most frequently cited non-pharmacological practices included specific diets, nutritional supplementation, psychosocial therapies, supervised physical activities, integrative approaches, and digital tools. No studies involved nurses or were conducted in primary health care. Conclusion: The identified gap highlights the need for robust, contextualized, and interdisciplinary research capable of promoting humanized and person-centered care.
