TL;DR
It is suggested that simulation-based nursing educational interventions have strong educational effects, with particularly large effects in the psychomotor domain.
Abstract
These results suggest that simulation-based nursing educational interventions have strong educational effects, with particularly large effects in the psychomotor domain. Since the effect is not proportional to fidelity level, it is important to use a variety of educational interventions to meet all of the educational goals.
