Abstract

SUMMARY STATEMENT: We 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.We searched CINAHL, Medline, and Embase for studies published between January 1, 2011, and July 10, 2023. We screened 13,149 abstracts and 335 full texts, of which 5 studies were included. We included primary studies with and without a comparator published in English. We assessed risk of bias 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.
