Abstract
ObjectiveTo explore the effect of high-fidelity simulation (HFS) in undergraduate nursing education.
MethodsOn February 12, 2022, randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental studies on the comparison between HFS and traditional teaching were searched from PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Wanfang, CNKI, VIP and China Biology Medicine(CBM) database. Meta-analysis was performed by RevMan 5.3.
ResultsA total of 34 literatures were included, including 16 English literatures and 18 Chinese literatures. The total sample size was 3 318 undergraduate nursing students. The quality evaluation result of the literatures included 1 paper with grade A, and the rest were all grade B. Meta-analysis showed that HFS could help students to master knowledge [standardized mean differences(SMD)=0.80, 95%CI=0.59~1.02, P<0.001], improve skills(SMD=0.86, 95%CI=0.65~1.08, P<0.001) and clinical comprehensive competence(SMD=0.39, 95%CI=0.14~0.64, P=0.002).
ConclusionsHFS is effective in mastering the knowledge, improving skills and clinical comprehensive competence of undergraduate nursing students.
