The use of digital gamification, extended reality, artificial intelligence, and integrated digital learning tools in palliative care education of undergraduate nurses: A systematic review
Digital and immersive simulation holds significant promise in addressing gaps in undergraduate nursing palliative care competences. Research in this field is highly limited, with no use of artificial intelligence within simulations used in the reviewed research. Further high-quality, standardised, and longitudinal studies are essential to determine sustained impact and generalisability.
