Aim: To describe how nurses' moral competence can be supported from the perspective of nurses, nurse managers, researchers, educators, and nursing students.
Background: Moral competence is the capacity or ability of nurses to recognise one's own emotions of what is right or wrong, to reflect on these emotions, to make decisions, and to act in ways that bring the highest level of benefit to patients. Moral competence is part of professional competence.
Background: An often-hidden element in healthcare students' education is the pedagogy of public involvement, yet public participation can result in deep learning for students with positive impacts on the public who participate.
Objective: This article aimed to synthesize published literature reviews that described the impact of public participation in healthcare students' education.
Search Strategy: We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, ERIC, PsychINFO, CINAHL, PubMed, JBI Database of Systematic Reviews and Implementation Reports, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects and the PROSPERO register for literature reviews on public participation in healthcare students' education.

The aim of this integrative literature review is to identify the factors contributing to the promotion of qualified nurses' and nursing students' moral competence.
