Koukab Abdullah Al Gharibi Msn et al. SAGE Open Nurs. .

Abstract

Background: Simulation is the most adopted teaching methodology in nursing education.

Objectives: This article investigated the outcome of repeated simulation experience on self-confidence, critical thinking, knowledge, competence, and satisfaction of nurses and nursing students.

Methods: The Scholarly literature published in English for the period of 2011 to 2019 was reviewed.

Results: Repeated simulation enhances students' self-confidence, knowledge, competence, critical thinking, and satisfaction.

Conclusions: Repetitive simulation experience is valued by the nurse educators as a valuable teaching methodology to reinforce the student's learning outcomes.

Keywords: nursing faculty; nursing students; nursing theory, nursing simulation; undergraduate nursing programs.
