Assessing the Effectiveness of Simulation-Based Education in Emerging Infectious Disease Management: A Systematic
1From the Kyungpook National University, College of Nursing (S.Y.), Daegu, Republic of Korea; and College of Nursing, Research Institute of Nursing Science, Kyungpook National University (S.H.), Daegu, Republic of Korea.
Summary Statement:
This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to thoroughly examine the effectiveness of simulation-based education in the management of emerging infectious diseases, focusing on educational content and methods. Studies published between 2000 and 2022 were identified, and a meta-analysis was conducted using a random-effects model. The findings revealed that simulation-based education significantly enhances various competencies related to managing emerging infectious diseases, encompassing cognitive, negative-affective, positive-affective, and psychomotor outcomes. Subgroup analysis indicated that methods effective in improving competencies include the use of equipment with limited or full patient interaction, simulated or in situ settings, and scenarios involving some interruptions by educators or independent participation of trainees. This review underscores the importance of appropriate methodological considerations in simulation-based education, including equipment, settings, and scenario designs, to optimize educational outcomes in the management of emerging infectious diseases.
