A Scoping Review on the Simulation-based Patient Safety Education for Nursing Students and Nurses

Purpose : The aim of this study was to conduct a scoping review that identified the characteristics of simulation- based patient safety education for nursing students and nurses. By analyzing the educational content, design, and outcomes of relevant programs, foundational data for developing effective simulation-based patient safety education programs were provided. Methods : A scoping review framework based on the methodology of Arksey and O’ Malley was adopted. Data collection included domestic and international studies without publication year restrictions. Primary studies were searched based on the online databases from May 9 to 23, 2024. Studies focusing on simulation-based patient safety education were selected based on the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Two researchers independently screened 3,613 studies; 27 studies were included in the final analysis. The review covered study characteristics, intervention details, and educational outcomes. Results : Most of the 27 studies were conducted in South Korea (66.7%) or the United States (25.9%). The most common research design was a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design (48.1%). Simulation-based patient safety education mainly focused on effective communication (51.9%) and medication safety (25.9%). The most frequently used educational intervention was a combination of simulations and lectures (44.4%). The outcomes demonstrated improvements in communication skills, critical thinking, and clinical decision-making. Conclusion : Simulation-based patient safety education was effective in enhancing essential patient safety competencies, such as communication and error prevention, among nursing students and nurses. Future studies should focus on developing interdisciplinary educational programs that cover diverse patient safety topics and promote sustainable learning outcomes.
