The impact of using simulation-based learning to further develop communication skills of pharmacy students and pharmacists: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Effective communication in healthcare, among professionals and between professionals and patients is crucial for delivering high-quality care. While simulation effectively translates technical skills to clinical practice, its impact on communication, particularly in pharmacies, is less well documented.

Aim

This systematic review examined the impact of simulation-based education on communication skills among pharmacy students and pharmacists. It aims to identify the types of simulations used, the outcomes obtained, and the effectiveness of these simulations in enhancing communication skills, perception and confidence.

Method

We conducted searches in MEDLINE, LISSA, EMBASE, and PsycINFO for articles on communication training through simulation for pharmacy st
