Aim:
The aim of the study was to synthesize how nurse educators use simulation-based evaluation data for curriculum decision-making.
Background:
The call to reform nursing education remains, with calls to examine curriculum effectiveness because of declining graduate competencies. Nurse educators need reliable evidence to guide curriculum decisions and improve graduate competency outcomes.
Method:
Using Whittemore and Knafl's integrative review methods, we searched six databases with expanded key words, "nursing," "simulation," "data," and "curriculum," excluding non-peer-reviewed articles published after 2006.
Results:
Six studies met inclusion criteria. Simulation data were used to identify learner deficits, evaluate curriculum efficacy, identify program outcome achievement, inform simulation frequency, and influence clinical experiences.
Conclusion:
Using simulation data for curriculum decision-making allows nurse educators to make real-time adjustments, address learner gaps, test curriculum effectiveness, and enhance practice readiness. With broader adoption, nurse educators can shift focus beyond learner evaluation, driving system-level change and refining curriculum practices for greater educational impact.
