Abstract：
Computer-based simulations may represent an innovative, flexible, and cost-efficient training approach that has been underutilised in pharmacy practice education. This may need to change, with increasing pressure on clinical placement availability, COVID-19 restrictions, and economic pressures to improve teaching efficiency. This systematic narrative review summarises various computer-based simulations described in the pharmacy practice education literature, identifies the currently available products, and highlights key characteristics. Five major databases were searched (Medline, CINAHL, ERIC, Education Source and Embase). Authors also manually reviewed the publication section of major pharmacy simulator websites and performed a citation analysis. We identified 49 studies describing 29 unique simulators, which met the inclusion criteria. Only eight of these simulators were found to be currently available. The characteristics of these eight simulators were examined through the lens of eight main criteria (feedback type, grading, user play mode, cost, operational requirement, community/hospital setting, scenario sharing option, and interaction elements). Although a number of systems have been developed and trialled, relatively few are available on the market, and each comes with benefits and drawbacks. Educators are encouraged to consider their own institutional, professional and curriculum needs, and determine which product best aligns with their teaching goals.
摘要：
基于计算机的模拟可能代表了一种创新，灵活,和成本效益高的培训方法，在药学实践教育中尚未得到充分利用。这可能需要改变，随着临床安置可用性压力的增加，COVID-19限制，提高教学效率的经济压力。这篇系统的叙事综述总结了药学实践教育文献中描述的各种基于计算机的模拟，确定当前可用的产品，突出关键特征。搜索了五个主要数据库(Medline，CINAHL,ERIC,教育来源和Embase)。作者还手动审查了主要药房模拟器网站的出版物部分，并进行了引文分析。我们确定了49项研究，描述了29种独特的模拟器，符合纳入标准。目前只有8个模拟器可用。通过八个主要标准（反馈型，分级,用户播放模式，成本,操作要求,社区/医院环境，场景共享选项，和交互元素)。尽管已经开发和试用了许多系统，市场上相对较少，每一个都有好处和缺点。鼓励教育工作者考虑自己的制度，专业和课程需求，并确定哪种产品最符合他们的教学目标。
