To date, three models for nursing practice have been developed in Italy. In addition, significant epistemological reflections have been published, sparking a rich professional debate regarding the theoretical foundations of nursing in Italy. However, conceptual models from other countries are often still used, despite many difficulties associated with applying them in practice. In order to investigate and redress this 'theoretical gap' and related implications for intervention, three scoping reviews of the Italian nursing literature were conducted to examine three categories of nursing knowledge: (a) nursing practice in Italy; (b) the basic nursing concepts of person, health, environment and nursing; and (c) regulatory/normative statements regarding what nursing practice should be in Italy.</p><p><strong>Aim: </strong>The purpose of this investigation was to identify how nursing is conceptualized in the Italian literature through an integrative narrative analysis of three scoping reviews.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The Scoping Review according to the recommendations published by Arksey and O'Malley and subsequently implemented by Levac et al. has been selected as the optimal methodology for mapping nursing knowledge.

Persons are imagined as active agents with self-determination toward promoting their own health. Health, derived from levels of equilibrium between multiple systemic components and based on the person's holistic view, is a fundamental right and a collective social interest. Maintaining or promoting a person's health requires careful consideration of all these constitutive and integral elements. The nursing process is implemented through technical acts as well as relational and caring skills. Professional autonomy, influenced by clinical and organizational contexts, is expressed in collaboration with other professionals who contribute to the healthcare process. The results of this integrative narrative analysis suggest the need for a holistic vision of persons, with an active role in their health management, indissociable from the system of relationships in which this is contextualized, within which nurses are embedded.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>In light of the results of our investigation, the promotion of a conceptualization of nursing based on the centrality of the person-social relational system and on the active role of persons that nurses work with, this could guide approaches used in nursing education and administration.
