Abstract
With the development of science and technology and the improvement of education level, the importance of virtual simulation teaching has been paid more and more attention. Virtual simulation makes up for the shortcomings of traditional practical teaching and provides strong support for interprofessional practical teaching. To explore the effectiveness of virtual simulation in interprofessional collaboration, a meta-analysis was performed. The Review Manager5.4 Software was used to perform the traditional meta-analysis. A systematic search of databases was conducted and a total of 14 studies were included in the meta-analysis. The conclusions are as follows: (1) Virtual simulation can significantly promote interprofessional collaboration. The overall effect value (Hedges's g) is 1.26, (95% CI: 0.54–1.26, p < 0.001). (2) Both the number of professions and the intervention duration affect the effect of interprofessional collaboration. This study provides insight into the efficacy of virtual simulation as a pedagogy and contributes to our understanding of the educational value of service learning for virtual simulation.
