      ab: Background/Objectives: Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) positively impacts health safety and quality while also empowering nursing as a discipline. A useful strategy for promoting EBP is to build learning paths adapted to the individuality of nurses. These elements establish the framework for effective learning, determining the availability of specific content at certain times and influencing the design of learning objects to ensure optimal efficacy in the teaching-learning process. It is essential to identify effective strategies in evidence-based nursing education to advance EBP and thereby enhance the quality and safety of nursing care. This review aims to summarize the evidence on the effectiveness of learning paths in the acquisition of EBP competencies by nurses. Methods: A systematic review of the literature will be carried out in accordance with the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology for systematic reviews of effectiveness. The results of the review will be reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses protocols (PRISMA-P). The protocol is registered in the PROSPERO database (CRD4202453155). The search will be performed using the EBSCOhost search engine in the following databases: CINAHL Plus, MedicLatina, MEDLINE, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, Academic Search Complete, eBook Collection, and Education Resources Information Center. The inclusion of studies, data extraction, and analysis will be carried out by two reviewers independently. Disagreements will be resolved by a third reviewer. All studies involving nurses, learning paths, EBP competencies, regardless of geographical area and context, with no time limit or language constraints, will be included. Results: Not applicable; this is a protocol. Findings will be synthesized as specified in the Methods. Conclusions: This review will provide a better understanding of the effectiveness of a learning path in the acquisition of EBP competencies by nurses. It will also assist in the identification of knowledge gaps in the literature and potential areas for future research and development.
