Simulation enhances clinical competence and patient care in nursing education, suggesting urgent integration of technology.
Simulation remains essential in healthcare, particularly nursing education, enhancing clinical competence, patient care, healthcare outcomes, and safety. According to Shorey et al. [1], Simulation has been a part of nursing education for over five decades and has been shown to improve cognitive outcomes such as theoretical knowledge. Today, we live in a digital age coupled with rapid technological advancements, making virtual Simulation, particularly virtual standardized patient simulations, increasingly prominent in nursing training/education. The COVID-19 global pandemic accelerated the adoption of simulation-based education in nursing programs, as restrictions on in-person clinical placements limited traditional hands-on training opportunities.
