Introduction: critical care nurses must develop skills that ensure efficiency and quality in the care process. This review aims to identify the survey methods for the critical care nurses’ training needs, determine their necessary core skills, and highlight the importance of specific and standardized training programs.
Materials and Methods: a literature systematic review was conducted between January and April 2023, and it included studies published between 2013 and 2023 from four databases, excluding those relating to training on COVID-19 or to the pediatric/obstetrics-gynecology field.
Results: after a selection based on inclusion and exclusion criteria and qualitative evaluation, 23 studies that appropriately answered the research question were included.
Discussion and Conclusions: the analysis identified the most widely used survey methods for the critical care nurses’ training needs and determined their necessary core skills; moreover, it highlighted the importance of specific, permanent, and internationally standardized training programs to be developed from the detected nurses’ training needs.
