Abstract

AIM: The aim of this scoping review was to map teaching strategies incorporating Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) competencies and assessment tools based on the QSEN framework.

 

METHOD: The search was conducted through MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science databases and carried out through the framework developed by Arksey and O'Malley and revised by Levac et al.

 

RESULTS: Thirty-one studies were included. Among QSEN competences, patient-centered care, safety, and teamwork and collaboration were most frequently incorporated into teaching strategies. Most assessment tools aimed at capturing the achievement of QSEN competencies after a classroom learning experience.

 

CONCLUSION: The scoping review made it possible to identify various teaching strategies and assessment tools developed on the QSEN framework. Further studies are needed to test teaching strategies to facilitate students' acquisition of QSEN competencies in clinical environments.
