Abstract
Background
Simulation-Based Education (SBE) has long been considered an effective model for teaching pre-registration nursing students. However, several factors impact the successful development and implementation of SBE programs that are sustainable, quality-driven and scalable.
Methods
An integrative review was used in the analysis of qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methodology papers, in the context of SBE programs in pre-registration nursing programs.
Results
About 1151 articles were originally identified, and the data was further analyzed in three phases with 17 articles remaining, eight articles were deemed suitable for review. Thematic analysis revealed three themes: Resources, Faculty development, and Embedding into practice.
Conclusion
SBE is considered an effective model for delivering education in pre-registration nursing programs. However, several factors impact the effectiveness of these programs when embedding them into nursing curricula. The most critical component to success was the utilization of simulation design frameworks which are underpinned by strong pedagogical methodologies.
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.
