Effectiveness of In-situ Simulation on Clinical Competence for Nurses: A Systematic Review

Ensuring clinical competence is essential for registered nurses in the acute care setting to allow the delivery of high-quality, evidence-based care and to improve patient outcomes. Nursing clinical competence is described as having the knowledge, skill, attitude, and ability for safe and effective practice (Alavi, NabizadehGharghozar,& Ajorpaz, 2022). Maintaining clinical competence can be challenging due to the dynamic nature of healthcare, constant advancements in medicine and technology, a progressively aging nursing labor force, and an overall deficit in the nursing workforce (Fawaz, Hamdan-Mansour,& Tassi, 2018; Kavanagh& Sharpnack, 2021).
