Digital simulation is an emerging innovation with the potential to address the limitations to traditional clinical simulation. The pandemic has accelerated teaching on digital platforms, which is now embedded in pedagogic practice. This integrative review will evaluate the effectiveness of digital simulation on nursing students' knowledge and/or confidence. The electronic database search carried out between October 3 and 7, 2021. We included primary research articles published in English language between January 2012 and October 2021. From 14,369 citations, 10 full-text documents were included in our final analysis and synthesis. Results suggest that digital simulation with realistic, immersive and interactive characters had a positive impact on students' learning outcome in terms of knowledge acquisition and self-confidence. Therefore, combining digital simulation with face-to-face simulation will enhance learning.
数字模拟是一项新兴的创新技术，有潜力克服传统临床模拟的局限性。疫情加速了数字平台上的教学，如今数字平台已融入教学实践。本整合性综述将评估数字模拟对护生知识和/或信心的有效性。于2021年10月3日至7日进行了电子数据库检索。我们纳入了2012年1月至2021年10月期间以英文发表的原发性研究文章。从14369条引用文献中，10篇全文文献被纳入我们的最终分析与综合。结果表明，具有逼真、沉浸式和交互性特点的数字模拟在知识获取和自信心方面对学生的学习成果产生了积极影响。因此，将数字模拟与面对面模拟相结合将提高学习效果。
