Description

The present research aimed to classify and summarize published papers on simulation-based education for nurses to clarify the trends of research on the training. The Japan Medical Abstracts Society Website, Japan's largest medical literature database, was searched using the keywords ″ nurse ″ , ″ simulation ″ , and ″ education ″ yielding 128 papers published between 2010 and 2017. The number of such papers increased year by year. The majority of the subjects of these studies comprised nurses who did not specify the years of experience. The content of the simulations was primarily situation-based training, carried in close proximity to clinical settings. Many of the papers were published by public healthcare institutions, with only a few studies conducted by healthcare corporations. The latter accounts for the majority of Japan's healthcare facilities, indicating the need to investigate simulation-based education being offered in regional areas. The findings of this review showed that simulation-based education was being actively carried out in cooperation with staff with other job roles. It is an essential means of providing training on interdisciplinary health care.
