Abstract

Objective: To map the scientific literature on the emotions experienced by nursing students during their clinical rotations. Methods: This is a scoping review conducted in accordance with the methodological recommendations of the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) and the PRISMA-ScR checklist for data extraction. The search for the scoping review was designed based on the extraction of articles published in the MEDLINE (PubMed), LILACS, Web of Science, Scielo, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and CINAHL databases. The search strategy was designed based on the use of DeCS/MeSH health sciences descriptors: “Nursing students,” “internship,” “feelings,” and the Boolean operator “AND.” Results: Twelve articles that addressed the study’s guiding question were included in the scope of the research. A total of 170 instances of feelings were identified, resulting in 77 distinct feelings after the exclusion of duplicates, all related to practical experiences during the internship in nursing education. Final considerations: The study contributes significantly to understanding the emotions of nursing students at this crucial stage of their undergraduate education, and further research in this area is suggested to expand upon these findings.
