  • Assessed measurement properties using COSMIN criteria and graded evidence quality with a modified GRADE approach.
  • Categorized identified instruments into three groups based on their measurement properties.
  • Identified 27 instruments assessing digital competence in nursing across three constructs.
  • Classified six instruments as category A (recommended for use) and 20 as category B (potentially recommendable).
