Declining or Waning
- Traditional Assessment Methods:
There is a noticeable decrease in studies focused on traditional assessment techniques, such as written exams, as simulation-based assessments gain prominence. - Static Simulation Techniques:
The focus on static or non-interactive simulation methods is waning, with a shift towards more dynamic, immersive experiences that engage learners actively. - Basic Skills Training:
Interest in basic skills training through simulation appears to be declining as the emphasis shifts towards complex, scenario-based learning that better reflects real-world nursing challenges. - Single-Discipline Focus:
Research centered solely on nursing without interprofessional collaboration is becoming less common, as the field increasingly values multidisciplinary approaches. - In-Person Simulation Exclusivity:
The reliance on in-person simulation experiences is diminishing, with a growing acceptance and integration of virtual and hybrid simulation models.
