| contents | The Use of Virtual Patient Simulations in Psychology: A Scoping Review Syeada Imam Hossain Joshua Kelson Ben Morrison Psychology Psychologists Graduate Students Clinical Teaching (Health Professions) Computer Simulation Computer Assisted Instruction Achievement Gains Instructional Effectiveness Skill Development Clinical Experience Virtual patient (VP) simulations can offer educational benefits in healthcare disciplines by supplementing traditional training approaches and enabling the acquisition of clinically relevant skills and knowledge. Although the existing body of literature covers VP usage in healthcare professions such as medicine and nursing, there are no current reviews highlighting the use of VP simulations in the field of psychology. The aim of this scoping review was to examine the educational impact of VP simulations on learning and user experience outcomes among psychology students and clinicians. Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, PubMed, Scopus, ERIC, IEEE Xplore and SAGE journals databases were searched up to June 2023. Studies of all designs and comparator groups were included if they appraised the effectiveness and user experience of any VP simulation aimed at addressing learning outcomes among psychology students and clinicians. A total of nine studies met the inclusion criteria. Overall, VP simulations hold promise in facilitating improvements in skill acquisition, clinical competence and knowledge. Although user impressions were largely positive, there were notable technical challenges that hampered their usability and learning effectiveness. Further research and standardisation of VP simulations are needed to draw definite conclusions about the effectiveness of these simulations in psychology education. |
