There is an increasing interest in using simulation in qualitative research outside evaluation of educational-based activities. To examine how data from simulation has been generated and used in qualitative research, we conducted a scoping review of research topics and data collection and analysis processes reported in qualitative research using simulation in the research method. Of the 665 articles that involved qualitative inquiry, 46 involved simulation in research independent from simulation-based education. Phenomena explored included communication and clinical decision-making during routine care and at highly sensitive times, such as the end of life, as well as the experiences when providing care in a variety of settings and patients, individually and within teams. Our findings highlight that simulation can be used for analysis of phenomena that are difficult for researchers to gain access to firsthand, and we discuss features for consideration when using simulation in qualitative health research.
人们越来越感兴趣的是在评价教育活动之外的定性研究中使用模拟。为了研究模拟数据如何在定性研究中生成和使用，我们对在研究方法中使用模拟的定性研究的研究课题和数据收集及分析过程进行了范围界定审查。在涉及定性探究的 665 篇文章中，有 46 篇研究是独立于基于模拟的教育之外的。所探索的现象包括常规护理和高度敏感时期（如生命末期）期间的沟通和临床决策，以及在各种环境和患者中提供护理的体验，包括个体和团队。我们的研究结果表明，模拟可以用于分析研究人员难以直接获得的现象，我们还讨论了在定性健康研究中使用模拟时需要考虑的特征。
