Abstract

Background: The objective was to summarize knowledge and systematically collect and quantify meta-analytical results regarding the effects of high-fidelity simulation in nursing education to improve students' ability to recognize and respond to deteriorating patients. Methods: In total, 4048 citations were screened, 40 articles were selected for full-text screening, and 14 articles were included. Six articles were subsequently included in the meta-analysis. Results: Knowledge and performance increased after simulation. Four studies reported an increase in self-confidence. Conclusion: Findings support that studies with high-quality research designs and improved measurement practices are required to produce generalizable evidence concerning the effectiveness of simulation.
