Review's retention-period synthesis: in Aqel et al. (first-year nursing students, n = 90), the intervention group's significant improvements in skills and knowledge persisted at 3 months; no effect size is printed.

"In the fifth study in which retention of knowledge was evaluated, carried out by Aqel et al. [17], it was observed that after 3 months the improvement in results for knowledge and skills in the group that received the high-fidelity simulation remained."

• CPR skills deteriorate within three to six months without frequent practice or retraining — related
• Skill retention after simulation is rarely measured; at 2-month follow-up only the VR group maintained significant ISVS improvement — related
• Simulation Based Education Improves Outcomes — a broader claim this one bears on
• HF simulation shows no significant benefit for satisfaction, confidence, or teamwork behaviors, and no long-term knowledge retention benefit — reports the opposite
