Teaching and Learning Using Simulation based Learning for Nursing Students: Systematic Review

Abstract

This article presents a systematic review of teaching and learning using simulation-based learning for nursing students. The review process consists of two steps; the process step and the product step. The process step used Google and Google Scholar as a database. Entries were retrieved on September 18, 2022 and January 14, 2023. The keywords used were “teaching and learning using simulation-based learning,” “nursing students” and “SBL.” The product step, consisting of search retrievals, yielded 22 titles published between 2016 - 2022. Nine were academic articles, 13 were research work, 11 in Thai and 2 in English. The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) levels of evidence were used to determine appropriateness for inclusion. It was found that the 9 articles were in level 4 while the 13 studies were in level 2.

This article also presents the meaning, the process of teaching and learning using simulation-based learning, and outcomes for nursing students such as nursing practice skill, self-confidence, and knowledge. The teaching and learning using simulation-based learning is crucial for nursing teachers to develop teaching methods to keep up with the current situation. This review found that most of the studies looked into the effects of teaching and learning using simulation-based learning on nursing students and not many were found to deal with development of a model of teaching and learning using simulation-based learning for each particular educational institution. This issue is a challenge for future research.
