Introduction: Nurse managers with emotional competences recognise, understand and manage their own emotions and those of the professionals they lead, contributing to a work environment conducive to excellent practice. Learning the emotional skills that enable you to be emotionally competent is emotional literacy. The development of emotional literacy programmes for nurse managers is fundamental to optimising nursing management. Objective: Mapping emotional literacy programmes applicable to nurse managers. Methods: An initial limited search was carried out on MEDLINE, CINAHL Complete and scientific repositories to assess the state of the art on the subject. The scoping review will follow guidelines from the Joanna Briggs Institute and PRISMA-ScR. It will include studies on emotional literacy programs for nurse managers, considering both published and unpublished studies in English, Portuguese, or Spanish, no time limit. Duplicates will be removed, and the relevance of titles, abstracts, and full texts will be analyzed. Data extraction will use a pre-designed instrument based on the Joanna Briggs Institute Manual. Conclusion: This review will contribute to identify emotional literacy programs for nurse managers.
