Facilitator Facilitation Skills Required for Simulation Education in Basic Nursing Education: A Narrative Review

Abstract

Purpose: To comprehensively review studies examining facilitator facilitation skills required for simulation education and extract the components of these skills.

Method: we conducted a narrative review by searching Ichushi-Web, PubMED, CIHAHL, MEDLINE and ProQuest in English and Japanese.

Results: The secondary screening yielded 16 pieces of literature for review. Seven components of facilitator skills were identified, including the creation of a scenario framing and the provision of a safe environment.

Conclusion: The results of this study revealed that to match the learning styles of learners, facilitator skills require the ability to deepen experiential learning, such as giving signals at appropriate timing, supporting debriefing, and functioning as a role model.
