Effectiveness of Role-playing Method on Knowledge, Clinical Skills, and Soft Skills Among Undergraduate Nursing Students: A Systematic Review
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: It is necessary for undergraduate nursing students to learn diseases through effective teaching methods, role-playing has a positive effect on the learning of various disorders. This study provided an overview of the role of role-playing in teaching undergraduate nursing students. Materials and methods: Searching for studies published from 2019 to 2024 in six online databases: PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, ScienceDirect, Web of Sciences, and Wiley Online Library. The search was limited to full-text research articles in English. The review was conducted and reported in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Results: This systematic review included 11 studies. The findings showed that implementing role-playing method into the teaching paradigm positively impacts nursing students’ knowledge, clinical abilities, and soft skills (e.g., communication skills, empathy, self-efficacy, and critical thinking) across a variety of nursing-related topics. Conclusion: Role-playing can be effective in increasing the interest of undergraduate nursing students in learning about the disease and can be helpful in terms of knowledge and skills. Therefore, role-playing can be implemented as a teaching method for nursing students in learning.
