The use of simulation as an educational tool is becoming increasingly prevalent in health care practice. Institutions have adopted simulations to help educate their students and health care professionals; however, intervention effectiveness evaluation continues to be an area requiring research. With use of this technology, it has become necessary to evaluate this method of educating health care professionals. As simulation use has increased, so has the literature related to evaluation of the innovative teaching method. A systematic review of the literature examined the effectiveness of simulation as a teaching tool. The aim was to evaluate current literature on the use of clinical simulation in health care education. The findings identify themes in the evaluation literature, highlight gaps in the literature as it pertains to evaluating the effectiveness of using simulations as a teaching tool, and support the need for further research into the evaluation of simulation as a teaching tool.
模拟作为一种教育工具在医疗实践中越来越流行。各机构已经采用模拟来帮助教育他们的学生和医疗保健专业人员；然而，干预效果评估仍然是一个需要研究的领域。随着这项技术的使用，有必要评估这种教育医疗保健专业人员的方法。随着模拟使用的增加，与评估创新教学方法相关的文献也在增加。对文献的系统回顾检查了模拟作为教学工具的有效性。目的是评估医疗保健教育中使用临床模拟的现有文献。研究结果确定了评估文献中的主题，突出了文献中与评估模拟作为教学工具的有效性相关的空白，并支持需要进一步研究模拟作为教学工具的评估。
