Objective:

This work sought to identify the innovative methodologies used to teach patient safety in undergraduate Nursing.

Results:

The study included 19 studies, most of descriptive type (n = 8; 42.1 %) and quasi-experimental (n = 7; 36.8 %) with quantative approach (n = 11; 57.9 %), conducted in the United States (n = 4; 21.1 %), in 2013 (n = 4; 21.1 %) and 2017 (n = 4; 21.1 %). The innovative methodologies used to teach patient safety in undergraduate Nursing that were highlighted included the scenario of the care practice simulated in the laboratory (n = 14; 73.7 %) and educational videos (n = 7; 36.8 %).

Conclusions:

It was identified that innovative methodologies used to teach patient safety in undergraduate Nursing were simulation, videos, staging/role playing, and films, all applied in the classroom teaching modality.
