Review of studies on the use of simulation in psychiatric nursing education: a systematic review
Abstract
Aims: The use of simulation and standardized patient practice has increased in nursing undergraduate education in recent years, but limited research has been conducted on the effect of appropriate simulation and standardized patient in the development of knowledge and confidence in psychiatric nursing practice education. The aim of this systematic review is to review the studies on the use of simulation and standardized patient in psychiatric nursing practice education and to systematically examine the results of these studies.
Methods: The study was conducted using PubMed, Science Direct, Web of Science, EBSCO, and Scopus databases. The keywords ‘graduation’, ‘psychiatric nursing’, ‘education’, ‘simulation’, ‘standard patient’ were used in the search, and the articles published in the last 10 years, the full text of which was accessed and in English, were analyzed.
Results: The included studies were conducted between 2013 and 2023, and simulation-standardized patient practice with structured scenarios of suicide attempt, obstetrics, pediatrics, and mental health, role-playing, communication skills, acute mental health care, family-centered care, generalized anxiety disorder, therapeutic communication, and dependent individuals was used in the studies. In the studies, it was determined that simulation-standardized patient practice is an effective practice method in developing communication skills competence. In addition, it was found that the standard patient simulation application had a positive reflection on students' mental health care in the clinical environment.
Conclusion: In this systematic review, it is noteworthy that although simulation and standardized patient practice in psychiatric nursing practice education have an important contribution to the development of psychiatric nursing skills, research is limited. In this direction, it is important to conduct experimental studies on simulation and standardized patient practice in psychiatric nursing education.
