The development of socio-emotional competencies in nursing education: integrative review

Abstract

Objective: to identify how the socio-emotional skill development process occurs in the nursing training. Method: integrative literature review, in LILACS, MEDLINE, SCIELO, IBECS, BDENF databases. The research included publications between 2004 and 2019, 8 articles that met the established criteria were identified for the review. Results: it was identified in the articles that the development of the emotional aspects of nursing students is still emerging, are often tangentially, or worked indirectly. Discussion: the proposal of the studies is to develop an internal emotional management that allows an emotional expression appropriate to the situations. Conclusion: although studies emphasize the need to break away from the Cartesian/traditional training model, they still seek a ready, acceptable, identifiable conduct, leading to rationalization of issues that are intrinsically part of the human dimension, such as emotions.
