The Effectiveness of Using Human Patient Simulation Manikins in the Teaching of Clinical Reasoning Skills to Undergraduate Nursing Students: A Systematic Review

Lead Author: Lapkin S

Submitted by: Mary Launder, Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science

Human patient simulation manikins are being used extensively both nationally (in Australia) and internationally in the education of health professionals. There is evidence suggesting that these types of technologies are effective in teaching psychomotor skills. Furthermore student satisfaction with simulation approaches is generally high. However, the extent to which human patient simulation manikins are effective in the teaching of clinical reasoning skills to undergraduate nursing students is less clear.

The aim of this systematic review was to identify the best available evidence for the effectiveness of using whole-body high-fidelity human patient simulation manikins to teach clinical reasoning skills to undergraduate nursing students.
