Abstract

Objectives

All healthcare workplace activities contain inherent safety threats; however, these may be potentially unique within the context of a simulation center. Simulation prioritises safety yet introduces risks.

This scoping review aims to map the existing literature on risk assessment in healthcare simulation centers and identify how risk is assessed, measured and mitigated in these spaces.

Design

The review adhered to the Joanna Briggs Population, Concept and Context (PCC) mnemonic, was reported using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analysis extension for Scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines and registered with Open Science Framework.

Results

A total of 490 articles were found, however only 8 studies met the inclusion criteria. The review highlights a lack of literature regarding the proactive assessment of risks in simulation learning.

Conclusion

There is a need for the development and implementation of standardized risk assessment frameworks to ensure the safety of nursing faculty and students during simulation-based learning activities.

医疗保健模拟中心内的风险评估流程：范围审查

所有医疗保健工作场所的活动都存在固有的安全威胁；然而，在模拟中心的上下文中，这些可能是唯一的。模拟优先考虑安全性，但也引入了风险。此范围审查的目的是绘制关于医疗保健模拟中心风险评估的现有文献，并确定如何在这些空间中评估、测量和减轻风险。本综述遵循乔安娜·布里格斯（Joanna Briggs）人口、概念和背景（PCC）助记符，使用系统评价首选报告项目和范围评价扩展元分析（PRISMA-ScR）指南进行报告，并在开放科学框架（Open Science Framework）注册。结果共纳入490篇文献，符合纳入标准的仅有8篇。该综述强调缺乏关于模拟学习中风险的主动评估的文献。结论有必要制定和实施标准化的风险评估框架，以确保护理教师和学生在模拟学习活动中的安全。
