DOI:

Nursing, Simulation, Critical Care, Patient Safety, Clinical CompetenceAbstract
Introduction: Adverse events in critically patients are associated with healthcare professionals’ non-technical skills deficits, with simulation being assumed as a strategy for nurses’ training.
Objective: To map the literature on simulation contributions to developing nurses’ non-technical skills in critical patient care.
Methods: Scoping review following JBI methodology. Inclusion criteria were defined according to PCC, for studies between 2019 and 2024. The search was conducted in MEDLINE, Complementary Index, Academic Search Complete, CINAHL, Scopus, Science Citation Index Expanded and PubMed through a search strategy with DeCS/MeSH descriptors. Study selection was performed by two independent authors. From 83 results, 7 studies were included.
Results: Improvements in leadership, communication, situational awareness, crisis resource management, teamwork, decision-making and task management.
Conclusion: Simulation contributes to developing nurses’ non-technical skills. Future research should focus on transferability studies to clinical practice.
