ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Evidence suggests competency in clinical judgment may be lacking in new graduate nurses. Graduates from accelerated baccalaureate nursing (ABSN) programs have even less time to develop clinical judgment competency. Various simulation modalities, including high-fidelity manikin and virtual reality, have been used to develop clinical judgment in prelicensure students. However, the outcomes of these simulation modalities on clinical judgment in ABSN students is not well understood. METHOD: An integrative literature review was conducted using five databases with primary research that examined the effect of manikin or virtual simulation on clinical judgment in BSN students. RESULTS: Fourteen studies were included in this review. The findings were organized using Tanner's Clinical Judgment Model. CONCLUSION: Findings from this review were mixed, with a lack of evidence comparing the two modalities. Future research should include comparison studies aimed at examining the effects of these modalities with ABSN students. [J Nurs Educ. 2022;61(12):693-699.].
