Clinical simulation for nursing competence development in cardiopulmonary resuscitation: systematic review

Abstract

Objective: to identify the effectiveness of clinical simulation for competence development regarding cardiopulmonary resuscitation in comparison with different teaching and learning strategies used in the education of nursing students. Method: systematic review, performed on the databases PubMed®/MEDLINE®, LILACS, Scopus, CINAHL and Web of Science. The Rayyan QCRI application was used to select the studies, in addition to the instruments for assessing the methodological quality of Joanna Briggs Institute and the Medical Education Research Study Quality Instrument. Results: a total of 887 studies were identified, and five we included in the final sample. The included studies had good methodological quality by the assessment instruments. All of them had statistically significant results to develop competence through clinical simulation, when compared to other methods. Conclusion: clinical simulation proved to be effective for the development of clinical competence in cardiopulmonary resuscitation of nursing students.
