Abstract
Introduction: The need to teach palliative care to health professionals is increasingly prevalent in the world and in Latin America. Educators must recognize advances in the teaching of palliative care through new ways of learning. Objective: Characterize methodologies, contents and effects of teaching of palliative care in health students in literature published between 2016 and 2020. Methods: A scoping review was carried out o articles published in journals indexed in the databases Medline, Cuiden, Lilacs, CINAHL during the period 2016-2020 in English, Spanish and Portuguese. 25 manuscripts were selected after doing the evidence critique process. Results: The studies included were mostly carried out with quantitative methodologies, in the United States and with populations of nursing students. The information extracted from the articles was organized into four themes: 1) educational courses in palliative care, 2) simulation strategies, 3) students' knowledge of palliative care, and 4) students' attitudes and emotions towards palliative care. Conclusions: The strategies found to teach palliative care include completely virtual or multimodality courses and clinical simulation, or in laboratories. In general, the evidence shows the interest that exists on the part of the students to receive this type of course and the importance that they have in their professional development.
