Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? Across 97 studies, 49 used mannequins (51%), 46 scenario-based simulation (47%), and 21 synthetic part-task trainers (22%), with some studies using more than one modality. → Robinson SJA 2024

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2
Descriptive statistics from the review's tabulation of modalities across the 97 included studies (Table 5 lists the same frequencies; mannequins were typically low-technology versions). The review attributes prevalence to affordability and accessibility of lower-technology approaches.
"Forty-nine used mannequins (51%), 46 used scenario-based simulation (47%), and 21 used synthetic part-task trainers (22%), with some studies using more than 1 modality."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Traditional learning outperformed e-learning in studies where mannequin-based simulation was the traditional modality — related
- Among 39 included studies of low-cost simulation in nursing education, hybrid forms were the most common strategy (48.8%), followed by computer-based tools (17.9%) — related
- High-fidelity manikins and virtual reality were the most common paediatric SBE modalities across the reviewed studies — reports the opposite
- Reporting of LMIC SBE initiatives is typically insufficient to judge against reporting standards, with minimal detail on design, prebriefing, debriefing, and educational factors — related
- Standardized SBE programs were more likely to improve outcomes than independent programs in LMICs (78% vs. 71%) — related
- High-fidelity mannequins were the most used simulation method in trauma training courses (51.4%) — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
