Characterized as the disorderly growth of cells, neoplasms have the ability to invade adjacent tissues or organs that are distant from the origin of the growth, causing bleeding, continuous pain, frequent bruises, fever, cachexia, asthenia, anomalous protuberance, among other symptoms. In this scenario, prostate cancer caused 15,391 deaths in Brazil in 2017 and is the second most common cancer among the male population. For this reason, this study aimed to identify, based on the scientific literature, educational technologies used by nurses to promote self-care in patients with prostate cancer. For that, a bibliographic study was carried out, more specifically an integrative literature review. The search for articles was carried out through the Portal de Periódicos Capes/Ministério da Educação (MEC) in the LILACS, IBECS, BDENF, SciELO, CINAHL, MEDLINE, Scopus and Web of Science databases. In order to streamline the search process, the terms were crossed in English, with the aid of the Boolean operator AND, following the sequence: Nursing AND Educational Technology AND Self Care, Nursing AND Educational Technology AND Prostatic Neoplasms, Nursing AND Self Care AND Prostatic Neoplasms. After analyzing the search results, eight articles were selected as the final sample of this study.
