EXPLORING THE USE OF CLINICAL SIMULATION IN EMERGENCY NURSING EDUCATION: AN INTEGRATIVE REVIEW

Abstract

Objective: To identify the scientific literature on the use of clinical simulation in nursing education in emergency situations. Method: Integrative literature review, following the PRISMA guideline recommendations. The search for primary studies took place in the MEDLINE/PubMed, LILACS, CINAHL, BDENF, Scopus, and CAPES Periodicals Portal databases, considering the publication period from 2017 to 2022. Results: A total of 190 publications were identified, of which 12 comprised the sample of this review. Data were grouped into pre-established categories: simulation and target audience characterization, prebriefing, scenario development, debriefing and feedback, assessment, and outcome. Conclusion: This study provides practical insights by highlighting the contemporaneity of clinical simulation in nursing education for emergencies, emphasizing research gaps, method diversity, and the importance of interprofessional collaboration.
