Abstract

To strengthen the transversal development of emotional skills, allowing to understand and adjust emotions adequately, represents a challenge in the training of Nursing students.
In order to strengthen the reflection on the role of emotions in professional behaviour, a dynamic workshop has been designed through the “Wheel of Emotions” game. Two questionnaires were previously handed out in order to activate reflection. Sixteen (16) students in their fourth year participated in the game, working on 14 emotions. During the activity, students distinguished between emotions and analyzed different behaviours. They assessed the experience as rewarding.
Guided practices are a laboratory for testing emotional skills. Reflective methods represent powerful tools to become aware of our own emotions as well as the emotions of others. The Wheel of Emotions encourages to identify the emotions experienced, and to analyze the way to manage them.
