O conceito de metacognição aplicado à formação de enfermeiros : uma revisão de escopo

Abstract

Metacognition is a concept that has important implications for the learning process and can influence the student's academic performance. In the context of training health professionals, it has been demonstrated that it also has a correlation with critical thinking, clinical decision-making and reduction of diagnostic errors. It is necessary to understand this concept for nursing. Objective: To map the application of the concept of metacognition in the training of nurses. Method: A scoping review was carried out according to the recommendations of the Joana Briggs institute. Results: Of 122 articles identified in the PubMed, Eric, Scielo and Bvs databases, 17 articles were included after applying eligibility criteria. It was found that metacognition has a wide application for nursing training, in relation to effects on learning and factors that influence this concept so that it increases among students. Conclusion: The application of metacognition should be explored at university, where most of the nurse's training takes place.
