Concepts are terms referring to phenomena that occur in nature or in thought, which are essential in developing research, as well as in the construction of theories. To fulfill this role in the construction of scientific knowledge, it is appropriate for them to be reviewed periodically, aiming mainly at its improvement. Despite the existence of different models of conceptual analysis, this methodology, in general, has not been well understood by nursing, especially in our reality. Therefore, in this article, of reflection, we describe some methodological considerations, including a practical approach on the methods proposed by Walker and Avant, Rodgers and Schwartz-Barcott and Kim, in order to give nurses greater understanding of this process.
