AB  - This systematic review aims to holistically reveal the effects of simulation-based education on patient safety in healthcare. This study used a systematic review methodology to examine studies about how simulation-based education effect patient safety, particularly applying simulation-based education to improve patient safety. With the search designed based on study purpose in databases, 610 studies were identified Science Direct (n=306), Scopus (n=49), Springer (n=61), Medline (n=74), PubMed (n=70), Web of Science (n=50). Twenty-two (22) studies were synthesized after systematic screening based on study criteria. Results indicated that simulation-based education reduces the risk of patient safety, increases the self-confidence of healthcare staff, ensures effective use of resources and increases team cohesion, and reduces costs. This study reveals the positive results of simulation-based education in patient safety in terms of patient, team harmony and health institutions. It brings a new holistic approach to the agenda of medical professionals, health and educational institutions to adopt simulation-based education in patient safety. Although there are promising results in the literature on the simulation-based education in patient safety, further studies on the subject are needed, considering that a significant part of the studies are literature and opinion studies.

N2  - Bu sistematik derleme, simülasyona dayalı eğitimin sağlık hizmetlerinde hasta güvenliği üzerindeki etkilerini bütünsel olarak ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada, simülasyon tabanlı eğitimin hasta güvenliğini nasıl etkilediğini, özellikle de hasta güvenliğini iyileştirmek için simülasyon tabanlı eğitimin nasıl uygulandığını inceleyen çalışmaları incelemek için sistematik bir inceleme metodolojisi kullanılmıştır. Çalışma amacına göre tasarlanan arama ile Science Direct (n=306), Scopus (n=49), Springer (n=61), Medline (n=74), PubMed (n=70), Web of Science (n=50) veri tabanları olmak üzere 610 çalışma tespit edilmiştir. Yirmi iki (22) çalışma, arama kriterlerine göre sistematik olarak tarandıktan sonra sentezlenmiştir. Sonuçlar, simülasyona dayalı eğitimin hasta güvenliği riskini azalttığını, sağlık personelinin özgüvenini artırdığını, kaynakların etkin kullanımını sağladığını, ekip uyumunu artırdığını ve maliyetleri düşürdüğünü göstermiştir. Bu çalışma, hasta güvenliğinde simülasyona dayalı eğitimin, hasta-ekip uyumu ve sağlık kurumları açısından olumlu sonuçlarını ortaya koymaktadır. Hasta güvenliğinde simülasyona dayalı eğitimin benimsenmesi, hem sağlık profesyonellerinin hem de sağlık ve eğitim kurumlarının gündemine yeni ve bütüncül bir yaklaşım getirmektedir. Hasta güvenliğinde simülasyon tabanlı eğitim konusunda literatürde umut verici sonuçlar bulunsa da, çalışmaların önemli bir kısmının literatür ve kamuoyu çalışmaları olduğu göz önüne alındığında, bu konuda daha fazla çalışmaya ihtiyaç bulunduğu değerlendirilmektedir.
