Introduction

The process of teaching-learning in nursing requires didactic, objective, and efficacious strategies so that students and novice instructors develop nursing care management skills.

Objective

To analyze published evidence on didactic strategies implemented during the process of teaching-learning regarding the development of care management skills.

Method

This is a narrative review. Five databases were consulted using MeSH/DeCS terms and keywords. 1 391 texts were found. From these, 52 were chosen because of their titles and abstracts; and 18 were finally kept for the analysis.

Results

The main strategy used is learning based on problem-solving. Commonly developed interpersonal and communication-related skills, followed by analytical and planification ones.

Discussion and Conclusions

Identified strategies turned out to be efficient and functional, and therefore can be used in the development of care management skills among pre-grade nursing students and novice nursing professionals. These strategies can be used synergically to promote significant learning.
