Abstract

Aim

This scoping review aim was to identify evidence about the use of simulation to improve nursing students’ non-technical skills in undergraduate curricula.

Background

Simulation in nurse education is rapidly advancing in non-technical skills. Evidence for the use of simulation in improving non-technical skills remains unclear.

Methods

The scoping review used procedures guided by the Joanna Briggs Institute. Searching was undertaken through six databases. After title, abstract and full text review, 47 papers meeting the inclusion criteria were identified for analysis and synthesis.

Results

The most frequently researched non-technical skills taught using simulation were communication and teamwork, with the most modalities being simulated patients or manikins. Few studies reported the use of evidence-based frameworks for simulation design. Forty-five studies evaluated student learning outcomes.

Conclusion

Communication and teamwork were highly reported aspects of non-technical skills development using simulation. Studies evaluated students’ improvement in performance and understanding regarding the non-technical skills as well as their experiences of the simulation however, the effect of the simulation intervention was not always clear.

利用模拟提高本科护士教育中的非技术技能：范围综述

目的本综述的目的是寻找在本科课程中使用模拟来提高护理学生非技术技能的证据。护士教育中的模拟在非技术技能方面正在迅速发展。使用模拟来提高非技术技能的证据尚不清楚。方法采用乔安娜布里格斯研究所指导的范围审查程序。通过六个数据库进行了搜索。经过题目、摘要和全文审阅，筛选出47篇符合纳入标准的论文进行分析综合。结果利用模拟技术教授的非技术技能研究最多的是沟通和团队合作，以模拟患者或人体模型的方式最多。很少有研究报告使用循证框架进行模拟设计。45项研究评估了学生的学习成果。结论沟通和团队合作是利用模拟进行非技术技能培养的重要方面。研究评估了学生在非技术技能的表现和理解方面的改善，以及他们对模拟的体验，然而，模拟干预的效果并不总是明确的。

期刊介绍： Clinical Simulation in Nursing is an international, peer reviewed journal published online monthly. Clinical Simulation in Nursing is the official journal of the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation & Learning (INACSL) and reflects its mission to advance the science of healthcare simulation. We will review and accept articles from other health provider disciplines, if they are determined to be of interest to our readership. The journal accepts manuscripts meeting one or more of the following criteria: Research articles and literature reviews (e.g. systematic, scoping, umbrella, integrative, etc.) about simulation Innovative teaching/learning strategies using simulation Articles updating guidelines, regulations, and legislative policies that impact simulation Leadership for simulation Simulation operations Clinical and academic uses of simulation.
