Objectives:
to analyze the instruments used by nursing professionals in hospital care to measure emotional states.
Methods:
this scoping review was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines, with a protocol registered in Open Science Framework. The search was performed in MEDLINE (via PubMed), Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Virtual Health Library. Data were organized in EndNote and analyzed using ATLAS.ti web, following Bardin's content analysis technique.
Results:
of the 1,335 studies identified, 28 met the inclusion criteria. Twenty-five instruments for assessing emotional states applied to hospital nurses were mapped, most of which were not specific to nursing. Five thematic axes were identified: well-being; stress/burnout; job satisfaction; coping strategies; and interpersonal relationships.
Conclusions:
a wide variety of instruments were observed, with a predominance of scales developed in other contexts and a scarcity of tools validated specifically for nursing.
