Abstract

Purpose: Finding sufficient physiotherapy clinical placement opportunities to meet clinical education requirements has been an ongoing challenge for Canadian physiotherapy programmes. Simulation may offer viable alternatives to traditional models. The objective of the scoping review is to describe the current use and design of simulation as a component of clinical education to develop competencies in health professional programmes. Method: This scoping review followed the JBI scoping review methodology. Five databases were searched, MEDLINE, CINHAL, EMBASE, ERIC, and SportDiscus, using variants of the search terms health professions education, simulation, and competency. Independent reviewers applied inclusion criteria in two stages: the abstract and title screen and the full-text review. Data was charted and analysed according to objectives. Results: Thirty studies were included in the review. There was large variability in the implementation of simulation, including level of learner, length of the simulation, competency, and simulation design. Most studies (n = 25) evaluated the inclusion of simulation within clinical education or compared simulation to traditional clinical education experiences. Seven studies compared different simulation designs to replace clinical education time. Conclusions: The variety of simulation experiences described and being implemented provides programmes with the flexibility to design simulation according to needs and resources. Rigorous research is recommended to contribute to an understanding of the most effective simulation design.

使用模拟作为临床教育的一个组成部分，在卫生专业人员进入实践计划。

目的：寻找足够的物理治疗临床实习机会以满足临床教育要求一直是加拿大物理治疗项目面临的挑战。仿真可以为传统模型提供可行的替代方案。范围审查的目的是描述模拟作为临床教育的一个组成部分的目前使用和设计，以发展卫生专业方案的能力。方法：该范围审查遵循JBI范围审查方法。检索了MEDLINE、CINHAL、EMBASE、ERIC和SportDiscus这五个数据库，使用了卫生专业教育、模拟和能力等搜索词的变体。独立审稿人采用的纳入标准分为两个阶段：摘要和标题筛选和全文审稿。数据被绘制成图表，并根据目标进行分析。结果：本综述纳入了30项研究。在模拟的实施中有很大的可变性，包括学习者的水平、模拟的长度、能力和模拟的设计。大多数研究（n = 25）评估了将模拟纳入临床教育或将模拟与传统临床教育经验进行比较。七项研究比较了不同的模拟设计来代替临床教育时间。结论：描述和实施的各种模拟经验为程序提供了根据需求和资源设计模拟的灵活性。建议进行严格的研究，以有助于理解最有效的仿真设计。

期刊介绍： Physiotherapy Canada is the official, scholarly, refereed journal of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association (CPA), giving direction to excellence in clinical science and reasoning, knowledge translation, therapeutic skills and patient-centred care. Founded in 1923, Physiotherapy Canada meets the diverse needs of national and international readers and serves as a key repository of inquiries, evidence and advances in the practice of physiotherapy. Physiotherapy Canada publishes the results of qualitative and quantitative research including systematic reviews, meta analyses, meta syntheses, public/health policy research, clinical practice guidelines, and case reports. Key messages, clinical commentaries, brief reports and book reviews support knowledge translation to clinical practice. In addition to delivering authoritative, original scientific articles and reports of significant clinical studies, Physiotherapy Canada’s editorials and abstracts are presented in both English and French, expanding the journal’s reach nationally and internationally. Key messages form an integral part of each research article, providing a succinct summary for readers of all levels. This approach also allows readers to quickly get a feel for ‘what is already known’ and ‘what this study adds to’ the subject. Clinician’s commentaries for key articles assist in bridging research and practice by discussing the article’s impact at the clinical level. The journal also features special themed series which bring readers up to date research supporting evidence-informed practice. The Canadian Physiotherapy Association (CPA) is the national professional association representing almost 15,000 members distributed throughout all provinces and territories. CPA’s mission is to provide leadership and direction to the physiotherapy profession, foster excellence in practice, education and research, and promote high standards of health in Canada.
