Simulation helps nursing students bridge the gap between theory and practice
In short: A literature review of nursing education research found that clinical simulation serves as a vital teaching strategy. By using simulators and nursing laboratories, students can practice decision-making and clinical skills in a protected environment that enhances their confidence and self-esteem.
Researchers reviewed data from Medline, Cinhal, and Scopus databases to examine modern simulation techniques. The review suggests that these methods help reduce the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, though the findings are based on a synthesis of existing literature rather than new experimental data.
Why it matters: Simulation provides a safe space for nursing students to build the confidence needed for real-world clinical practice.
