Design and Methods This literature review is integrated with a scoping study framework. From the total 252 papers found, 39 were selected. Findings Relevant data and diagnostic activities, hypothetic nursing diagnoses, and interventions addressing the focus “Delusion” were identified. Practice Implications This literature review allowed the development of a clinical data model addressing the focus “Delusion”, based on the steps of the nursing process identified. This clinical data model may contribute towards improving nursing clinical decision‐making and nursing care quality in relation to a client suffering from delusion as well as producing more reliable nursing‐sensitive indicators.engDelusionsNursingNursing processPsychiatric nursingReviewjournal article10.1111/ppc.12401
