Abstract
This study focuses on the effect of simulation-based learning in basic nursing education to clarify its tendencies and to establish basic data to enhance future simulation education. Studied literature was confined to the original articles searched under "simulation" and "learning effect" and "nursing" using Web. Ver.5 of Igaku Chuo Zasshi (medical bibliographic database). After eliminating the literature and educational development materials subject to nurses, 19 articles were selected for this study.
The majority of these articles are about learning through simulation in the areas of motherhood, midwifery, disaster nursing, and the acute stages of adult nursing focused on the nursing skills focused on the nursing skills through invasiveness and basic nursing study. Effectiveness of the learning was evaluated and analyzed from students’ descriptions that included self-evaluation, reports, reflection, and portfolio, presenting the usefulness of education using simulation. Notably obtained was the learning effect leading to the establishment of visualizing nursing scenes, promoting students’ motivation and independence, their feelings of accomplishment and satisfaction, and the realization of their primary responsibilities as nurses.
