Abstract Background For myocardial infarction, in-hospital lethality is still significantly higher in women than in men in Germany. Medical guidelines and nursing expert standards include recommendations for gender-sensitive care (GSC+), but it is unknown how these are implemented in health care practice. Research question: Which measures facilitate the implementation of GSC+? Methods Systematic literature research was conducted on Pubmed, web of science and CINAHL with adequate keywords connected with Boolean connectors. Results The initial literature search yielded a pool of 23,508 items. After removing irrelevant articles and duplicates 119 articles were included in the present scoping review. Among fifteen generated dimensions, which are summarized to six main dimensions (education, research & science, politics, LGBTQ+ care & education, institutions of care and career advancement), the included articles are related. Education is the dimension with the most identified articles. Key messages of main dimensions are that GSC+ • must be anchored in compulsory subjects of curricula; • must be considered in research. Researchers need to be aware and should follow a structured framework for generating sex-specific guidelines; • can get gain access to politics through purposeful lobby work; • in terms of LGBTQ+ care should be learnt from health care providers to LGBTQ+ people through case studies; • should be implemented strategical through change agents in institutions of care; • can be enhanced through aware women in leading positions, to implement GSC+ successfully. Conclusions The implementation of GSC+ has a positive impact on patient care and could reduce undesirable events or outcomes. To reach the implementation target the politics must set frame conditions and universities, science and health care providers have to integrate them. Moreover, the generation of evidence is important to promote GSC+ so that health care professionals have a defined work assignment for GSC+. Key messages • The research results provide a comprehensive overview of the existing literature on implementation measures of gender-sensitive care. • Healthcare providers are sensitized to gender-sensitive care so that patient care can be further improved.
