An Integrative Review of Simulation-Based Pediatric Nursing Practicum: Application of Jeffries' Simulation Learning Model

Abstract

Due to difficulties arising from patient infections, a decline in the number of births, and other factors, clinical education in pediatric nursing has become challenging. Consequently, the demand for simulation-based practical training has been increasing. This study aims to analyze an integrative review of simulation-based pediatric nursing practicum, based on Jeffries’ simulation learning model, and provide foundational data for the development of standardized simulation-based pediatric nursing practice program. Five domestic database serched using the keywords ‘simulation’ and ‘nuring’ to retrieve relevant literature. Out of 744 aricles 14articles that met the driteria of this study were analyzed using descriptive statistics. In the research findings, 78.6% utilized high-fidelity simulators for education, with 45.5% of these incorporating standardized patients. Only 14.3% of the studies reported that instructors had completed simulation education training. Operating and debriefing times varied widely, ranging from 10 to 90 minutes. The most frequently measured learning outcome was 'nursing performance ability,' with 92.9% of the studies assessing the cognitive domain, and 42.9% evaluating all cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. The results of the study suggest that in the future, numerous randomized controlled trials should be conducted to actively derive a foundation for the design of pediatric nursing simulation education programs.
