Abstract

The researchers conducted a systematic review to assess if any condition before- or after simulation-based training of teamwork competencies for healthcare professionals affects learning or transfer of skills to the clinical environment. The following databases were searched CINAHL, Medline, and Embase for studies published between January 1, 2011, and July 10, 2023. 13,149 abstracts and 335 full texts were screened, of which 5 studies were included. Primary studies were included with and without a comparator published in English. Risk of bias was assessed using the ROBINS-I tool before narrative synthesis. All studies were observational and reported heterogeneous conditions such as posters, coaching, and leadership support initiatives. Very low certainty evidence suggested that implementing conditions in the clinical environment such as coaching, wider communication of learning objectives, or leadership initiatives could be considered to facilitate the transfer of skill to the clinical environment. Prospero registration: CRD42022320721.
