Abstract

Clinical supervision in nursing, currently appears as a necessity of formation at practice contexts. There are concerns in adherence to pedagogic methods and formative processes in clinical education. In the certified training that has been developed, with nurses from three health organizations of the ARSLVT, the process of monitoring clinical skills of students and nurses in service training, aiding workers assess to the clinical supervision process in nursing. The objective for this article is: to analyse the concept of clinical supervision in nursing in 45 nurses, using a pedagogical tool – conceptual map. From the cognitive structure of nurses emerged three themes: design of supervision; supervisory intervention; evaluation of the supervisory process. We recognize this strategy as a facilitator to the skills’ development for nurses. We identified the concept of clinical supervision of nurses, related to critical thinking in clinical education. The use of the conceptual map emerges as pedagogical strategy promoting self-reflection of nurses/students.
