Advancing Simulation-Based Education in Brazil: Bridging Research and Practice for Healthcare Excellence
DOI: 10.31744/einstein_journal/2023EDS3
Simulation-based education (SBE) in health professions education has been increasingly implemented across the world for the past two decades. There has also been a similar trend in Brazil, with SBE being widely implemented in most phases of education, from undergraduate to postgraduate to continued professional development. However, there are still many challenges concerning the effective use of SBE in Brazil, especially due to the low level of country-specific research that can inform its implementation. In this editorial, we will discuss the current challenges of researching SBE to inform best practice in Brazil and also propose a future research agenda to ensure SBE is more effective.
We conducted a search on the Web of Science using terms related to SBE and found a growth in the number of publications related to SBE. We identified 7,113 articles worldwide (), but only 168 articles () were by Brazilian authors. We have also noticed that most publications from Brazil are published in Brazilian journals, but not in international journals. One possible explanation is the lack of authors’ proficiency in English and the fact that most publications in high impact journals only have native English speakers as co-authors.() Also, non-native speakers take more time to write and revise in English.() However, this also might be explained by the type of research that has been conducted in Brazil.
