Descrição

Introduction: Clinical simulation is a teaching and training methodology, used in clinical nursing supervision, that uses scenarios and tools to reproduce real healthcare situations. It allows knowledge to be applied, skills to be developed and attitudes to be refined in a controlled and safe environment, according to the level of knowledge and experience, reinforcing the acquisition and development of skills in nursing students. Objective: To map the available scientific evidence on the contributions of clinical simulation in the supervisory process of nursing students. Methodology: The research will be based on the methodology of the Joanna Briggs Institute, using controlled terms in the following databases: PubMed; CINAHL Complete, MEDLINE Complete and B-on (via EBSCOhost). Grey literature will also be searched through OpenGrey and the Portuguese Open Access Scientific Repository. There will be no time and language restrictions. Studies will be extracted to the Rayyan Qatar Computing Research Institute platform and analyzed by two independent reviewers with a third reviewer consulted in case of disagreement. The principles of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews will be adopted and evidence tables will be drawn up for data extraction. Conclusions: The proposed scoping review shall provide a comprehensive critical analysis of the potential of clinical simulation as a strategy to promote quality and safety in the clinical supervision process of nursing students, namely on the main programs, characteristics, result indicators and evaluation instruments used.
