Abstract

Aim: The aim of this review was to identify and summarize the required competences of nursing PhD students and postdoctoral researchers to pursue a successful researcher career and to compare these competences with the existing competence frameworks. Design: Scoping review. Methods: PubMed, CINAHL, SocIndex, PsycInfo, Eric, EMBASE, Academic Search Premier and Scopus databases were searched from January 1990–December 2018. The guidelines of PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews and the scoping review framework by Arksey and O’Malley (2005, International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 8, 19) were applied. Results: Forty-four studies were reviewed comprising 15 competence domains. Competences corroborated the competences defined in the competence frameworks. However, the qualitative and descriptive research designs rendered a modest level of evidence and generalizability.
