The effect of multiple exposures in scenario-based simulation-A mixed study systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

To examine the use and effects of multiple simulations in nursing education.

Design

A mixed study systematic review. Databases (CINAHL, Medline, PubMed, EMBASE, ERIC, Education source and Science Direct) were searched for studies published until April 2020.

Method

Researchers analysed the articles. Bias risk was evaluated using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme and Cochrane Risk of Bias tool.

Results

In total, 27 studies were included and four themes identified. Students participated in multiple simulation sessions, over weeks to years, which included 1-4 scenarios in various nursing contexts. Simulations were used to prepare for, or partly replace, students' clinical practice. Learning was described in terms of knowledge, competence and confidence.<
