q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2

The review's synthesis of transfer evidence: one high-quality pre-post study reported that improved performance in the simulation environment may not be transferable to the clinical setting, and the one RCT assessing translation did not find a positive result.

"There has been no assessment of the translated clinical performances in real-life situations after high-fidelity simulation-based training in the included studies, except for one."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Most included trials were conducted in simulated settings at Kirkpatrick evaluation level two, which may limit application to routine clinical practice — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
• The closer training content is to authentic clinical scenarios, the smoother its translation into practice — related
• Gamification carries a risk of negative skill transfer when game scenarios differ from real-life practice — related
• Simulation Based Education With Deliberate Practice Improves Clinical Outcomes — reports the opposite
