The name,country,developer and year,construction basis,scoring criteria,sample size,dimensions and items,reliability and validity of the relevant tools were extracted. The retrieval time limit was from the establishment of the database to October 24,2023. Results Finally,25 articles that met the criteria were included,including 11 about the development of assessment tools and 14 about the testing of assessment tools and the localization of countries. Conclusion There are various types of QNWL assessment tools developed in various countries,but there are few researches on the development of such tools in recent years. In the future,we can learn from the more mature theoretical framework and experience abroad and combine with the background of social and cultural development in China,comprehensively consider the coordination,dynamics,innovation and frontier of tool development,and then explore new nurse QNWL specific tools that keep up with the times.
