Development of clinical competence in nursing in simulation: the perspective of Bloom’s taxonomy

Abstract

ABSTRACT Objectives: to investigate the scientific evidence on the use of Bloom’s taxonomy for developing competence in nursing professionals and students in clinical simulation. Methods: integrative review of the National Library of Medicine (NLM), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS), Web of Science and SCOPUS databases, using the Rayyan application. Results: a total of 871 studies were identified; four composed the sample. The development of clinical competence occurred through the coordination of knowledge, skills, and attitudes. To develop the cognitive domain, the objectives of knowledge and comprehension of the Bloom’s taxonomy were mobilized. The psychomotor domain required development of the skills demanded by the proposed clinical care. The affective domain was developed through will and motivation to learn. Conclusions: it is possible to develop clinical competence in nursing by adopting Bloom’s taxonomy in each phase of clinical simulation.
