While technological advancements have improved medication administration processes, the role of soft skills in medication error prevention remains underexplored. Objective: This study aimed to look for the available literature related to medication safety and understanding the importance of soft skills application in serving medications in critical care settings. Methodology: A scoping review was conducted with the following databases: ProQuest, SpringerLink, Science Direct, PubMed, and Web of Science. The articles were selected by using the PRISMA flow. The selected articles included in this study were the studies done from 2019 to 2023. Results: A total of 19 articles were included in this scoping review. Three themes emerged in this scoping review: medication errors among nurses in critical care settings, the importance of soft skills application in severing medications, and the impact of soft skills application on medication safety. The impact of soft skills application on medication safety is evident in the literature, with studies demonstrating a positive correlation between the application of these skills and medication error reduction. Conclusion and Implications: This scoping review provides valuable insights into the relationship between soft skills and medication safety in critical care settings. The findings underscore the need for healthcare organizations to recognize the importance of soft skills in medication error prevention and invest in strategies to enhance these skills among critical care nurses.
