Abstract Background: Although simulation-based education (SBE) has become increasingly popular as a mode of teaching in undergraduate nursing courses its effect on associated student learning outcomes remains ambiguous. Educational outcomes are influenced by SBE quality that is governed by technology, training, resources and SBE design elements. This paper reports the protocol for a systematic review to identify, appraise and synthesise the best available evidence regarding the impact of SBE on undergraduate nurses’ learning outcomes. Methods: Databases to be searched from 1st of January 1990 include the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), American Psychological Association (APA) PsycInfo and the Education Resources Information Centre (ERIC) via the EBSCO host platform. The Excerpta Medica database (EMBASE) will be searched via the OVID platform. We will review the reference lists of relevant articles for additional citations. A combination of search terms including ‘nursing students’, ‘simulation training, ‘patient simulation’, and ‘immersive simulation’ with common Boolean operators will be used. Specific search terms will be combined with either MeSH or Emtree terms and appropriate permutations for each database. Search findings will be imported into reference management software (Endnote© Version.X9) then uploaded into Covidence where two reviewers will independently screen titles, abstracts and retrieved full text. A third reviewer will be available to resolve conflicts and moderate consensus discussions. Quantitative primary research studies evaluating the effect of SBE on undergraduate nursing students’ educational outcomes will be included. The Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) will be used for quality assessment of core criteria, in addition to the Cochrane RoB 2 and ROBINS-I to assess risk of bias for randomised and non-randomised studies, respectively. Primary outcomes are any measure of knowledge, skills, or attitude. Discussion: SBE has been widely adopted by healthcare disciplines in tertiary teaching settings. This systematic review will reveal (i) the effect of SBE on learning outcomes, (ii) SBE element variability, and (iii) interplay between SBE elements and learning outcome. Findings will specify SBE design elements to inform the design and implementation of future strategies for simulation-based undergraduate nursing education.Systematic Review Registration: PROSPERO CRD42021244530

The evidence for using surgical simulators in training and assessment is growing rapidly. A systematic review has demonstrated the validity of different simulators for a range of procedures. Research suggests that skills developed on simulators can be transferred to the operating theatre. The increased interest in simulation comes as a result of the need to streamline surgical training. This is reflected by the numerous simulation-based courses that have become an essential part of modern surgical training.

Introdução: A avaliação das curvaturas sagitais da coluna vertebral auxilia na determinação dos padrões posturaisdos indivíduos. Objetivo: Revisar sistematicamente os métodos de avaliação das curvaturas sagitais da coluna vertebralno exame de Raios-X descritos em estudos observacionais. Métodos: Foi realizada uma busca sistemática nasbases de dados Scopus, Science, Bireme e Pubmed. Os principais desfechos extraídos foram os métodos utilizadospara avaliar as curvaturas torácica e lombar da coluna vertebral no plano sagital através do exame de Raios-X. Paraavaliação da qualidade metodológica foi utilizado o checklist de Brink, Louw. Resultados: Nos 23 artigos incluídosnessa revisão, encontramos nove métodos diferentes para avaliar as curvaturas sagitais, tais como Cobb (2 ou 4 linhas),Cobb alternativo, Cobb máximo ou não constricto, Raio da curvatura, TRALL, Círculos tangenciais, Tangentesposteriores, Centroides e PR. Os métodos não dependentes dos platôs vertebrais, tais como Centroides, Círculostangenciais, Cobb alternativo, Raio da curvatura para a coluna torácica; Centroide, Tangente posterior, TRALL e PRpara a lombar apresentam iguais ou melhores valores de reprodutibilidade e menor variabilidade de medidas quequando comparados ao ângulo Cobb. Conclusão: Os métodos encontrados mostraram grande correlação com o padrãoouro (ângulo Cobb), tanto para coluna torácica, quanto para a lombar, e podem ser utilizados, em ambos osâmbitos, da pesquisa e da prática clínica, já que apresentam iguais ou melhores valores de reprodutibilidade e menorvariabilidade de medidas que quando comparados ao ângulo Cobb.
