Clinical accountable skill is necessary for providing health services, and clinical simulation, using models, mannequins, and new technologies, provides a safe and controlled environment for practice, the possibility of repeated practice, receiving immediate feedback, reducing errors, and improving clinical skills. Due to the importance of the effectiveness of simulators, this article examines the tools and methods of empowerment and knowledge enhancement in clinical skills with an emphasis on the clinical simulation approach.
This systematic review study was conducted in 2024 based on a targeted search by searching information databases Magiran SID, Google Scholar, Scopus, ISI, Pubmed. For the search, a combination of Boolean Operator (AND, OR) was used without time limit. The search strategy was limited to Persian and English articles using the keywords empowerment, knowledge enhancement, clinical skills, clinical simulation, simulation, medical sciences. Screening was done in four stages, and by reducing and removing duplicate articles, 24 articles were included in the present study based on inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Regarding the investigation of empowerment and knowledge enhancement tools for clinical skills with the approach of using clinical simulation, the results of numerous studies show that optimal use of simulators in the education process significantly leads to increased readiness, providing a safe clinical environment, reducing the need for human samples in skill acquisition, fearless learning, learning promotion, training retention, creating correct health and treatment behavior, improving students' academic performance, and is cost-effective in education. Accordingly, it is suggested that universities and educational centers pay more attention to expanding the use of simulator tools in health and medical science education and provide the necessary infrastructure for optimal use of these technologies.
