Abstract:
Purpose: The purpose of this review was to identify the best evidence on the
effectiveness of using high fidelity simulation technology for learning outcomes
in nursing education. Methods: An integrative review was used to assess
the effectiveness of high fidelity simulation in nursing education. Data
search was between 2008 to 2018 using Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of
Science, Science Direct, Pub Med, Medline, CINAHL, EBSCO, Cochrane,
ERIC, Joanna Briggs Institute and EBSCO host. A total of 17 articles met the
eligibility criteria. Results: The seventeen reviewed articles were adopted
mixed method designs, randomized controlled trial, quazi-experimental, and
correlational studies. Themes were: self-satisfaction and confidence, clinical
decision-making, and clinical judgment. Conclusion: Nursing literature supports
the importance of including high fidelity simulation in nursing education.
HFS provides diverse learning experiences, promotes decision-making
and clinical judgment, self-satisfaction and self-confidence to develop assessment
and safe practice. Implication: Nursing educators can create a variety of
patient conditions for collaborative nursing care for increasing learning outcomes.
