Abstract
Introduction: Virtual simulation is a modern learning method in nursing education that can lead to beneficial learning outcomes. The aim of this article is to extract the features and dimensions of virtual simulation in nursing education, which will contribute to shaping the future of this technology and its integration into curricula.
Methods: This research employs a synthesis approach, combining specific features and factors from the literature. The study population included all credible scientific articles and theses related to virtual simulation in nursing education. Data were collected through systematic searches in reputable databases such as PubMed, Sid.ir, Magiran.com, ProQuest, Science Direct, Eric, Springer, CINAHL, Scopus, and the Google Scholar search engine, covering the period from 2010 to 2024. Based on inclusion criteria, 116 articles and theses were identified, and finally, 69 articles and theses were selected for detailed analysis after applying exclusion criteria.
Findings: Through document review and analysis, 27 sub-themes emerged, categorized under 7 main themes. The main themes include increased access and improved learning, a safe environment and confidence, effective interaction and feedback in learning, technical challenges and barriers, time management and planning, innovation and appeal, and critical thinking and problem-solving.
Conclusion: Virtual simulation in nursing education is recognized as an effective educational tool due to its numerous benefits, including providing a safe and risk-free learning environment, enhancing performance and knowledge, and allowing the practice of specific skills. However, challenges such as technical issues and the need for effective feedback from facilitators must be addressed.
