q2 · i? · review · r3

The review's discussion attributes this association to multiple included studies using SBAR, SBAR-R, and ISBAR handover tools within high-fidelity communication and teamwork simulations; no pooled effect size is reported.

"Structured communication tools, such as SBAR and its adaptations, were frequently incorporated into simulation scenarios and were associated with improved team coordination and information transfer"

• The closer training content is to authentic clinical scenarios, the smoother its translation into practice — related
• Team training delivered in the anticipated operational context with realistic scenario-based experiences is more likely to transfer to operational performance — a broader claim this one bears on
• Simulation-based training is associated with improved patient safety-related skills and knowledge in undergraduate nursing students — related
• NTS training improves observable team behavioural performance in EDs, including more frequent closed-loop communication, clearer role allocation and prioritisation, improved situational awareness, and higher teamwork ratings (moderate certainty). — related
