Objective: To identify how simulation and interprofessional learning are used together in undergraduate nursing
programs and undertaken in schools of nursing to address interprofessional communication and collaboration.
Design: An integrative literature review.
Data Sources: The databases CINAHL, ProQuest, PubMed, Scopus, PsycInfo and Science Direct were searched to
identify articles from 2006 to 2016 that reported on the use of IPL and simulation together in undergraduate
nursing education.
Review Method: Whittemore and Knafl's five step process was used to guide the integrative review of quantitative

Design: An integrative literature review. Data Sources: The databases CINAHL, ProQuest, PubMed, Scopus, PsycInfo and Science Direct were searched to identify articles from 2006 to 2016 that reported on the use of IPL and simulation together in undergraduate nursing education. Review Method: Whittemore and Knafl's five step process was used to guide the integrative review of quantitative and qualitative literature. Only peer reviewed articles written in English that addressed undergraduate nursing studies, were included in the review. Articles that did not aim to improve communication and collaboration were excluded. All articles selected were examined to determine their contribution to interprofessional learning and simulation in undergraduate nursing knowledge. Results: The faculties of nursing used interprofessional learning and simulation in undergraduate nursing programs that in some cases were connected to a specific course. A total of nine articles, eight research papers and one narrative report, that focused on collaboration and communication were selected for this review. Studies predominantly used nursing and medical student participants. None of the included studies identified prior student experience with interprofessional learning and simulation. Four key themes were identified: communication, collaboration/teamwork, learning in practice and understanding of roles, and communication. Conclusion: This review highlights the identified research relating to the combined teaching strategy of interprofessional learning and simulation that addressed communication and collaboration in undergraduate nursing programs. Further research into the implementation of interprofessional learning and simulation may benefit the emergent challenges. Information drawn from this review can be used in informing education and educational development in the future.
