Simulation-based education effectively supports healthcare guideline implementation among providers. However, cost, time, and educator training are key considerations for its successful application in healthcare settings.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare Education
- Medical Simulation
- Clinical Practice Guidelines
Background:
- Simulation-based education (SBE) is a valuable strategy for integrating new guidelines into healthcare.
- Effective implementation of clinical guidelines is crucial for improving patient care and outcomes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To synthesize and analyze existing literature on the use of SBE for guideline implementation.
- To identify the effectiveness and challenges of SBE in supporting healthcare providers (HCPs) in adhering to guidelines.
Main Methods:
- An integrative literature review was conducted using Ganong's methodology.
- Twenty-three relevant articles were selected and analyzed.
Main Results:
- The majority of studies (82%) utilized simulation in practice settings with pre- and post-test measurements (69%).
- All reviewed studies indicated that simulation improved outcomes related to guideline implementation.
- Factors like cost, time, educator training, and learner needs can impact SBE's applicability.
Conclusions:
- SBE is an effective strategy for enhancing guideline implementation among HCPs.
- Further research is needed on simulation content, virtual learning, costs, and long-term effects.
