q3 · i? · review · r3

Narrative synthesis across 62 included studies found "the presence of an expert instructor during simulation training, repetitive practice and multiple learning strategies were the instructional design features used most commonly across all Kirkpatrick levels".

"The presence of an expert instructor during simulation training, repetitive practice and multiple learning strategies were the instructional design features used most commonly across all Kirkpatrick levels, with many studies showing statistically significant improvements when these features were utilised."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Cook et al. found multiple learning strategies was the only instructional design feature with a significantly positive pooled effect on Kirkpatrick level 4 patient outcomes (0.53, p < 0.001) — related
• Isolated feature comparisons: multiple learning strategies with repetitive practice increased self‐reported block success, and AI‐assisted nerve identification reduced patient complications — related
• Fewer studies assessed Kirkpatrick level 3 behaviour and level 4 patient outcomes, and higher‐level feature combinations remain unclear — related
