Exploring the potential for simulation in the development of future foresight leadership skills for healthcare professionals: a scoping review protocol
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Objective This scoping review will explore the potential for simulation as a tool in the development of future foresight leadership skills for healthcare professionals (HCPs). Introduction Health care is a complex system dealing with uncertainty and challenge, necessitating innovative planning, leadership models and skills such as future foresight. As future foresight methods are increasingly being integrated into healthcare systems, understanding and addressing the training needs of HCPs to adopt these methods will require research and development. Healthcare simulation is effective in training learners in clinical skills, but its application to healthcare leadership, management and policy-making is poorly understood. Inclusion criteria This review will include published and grey literature describing the potential for simulation in the training of HCPs in future foresight leadership skills. The search will be limited to studies reported in English but will not be limited by the year of publication. Methods This scoping review will adopt JBI guidance. The following databases will be searched: CINAHL (EBSCOhost), PubMed, EMBASE (Ovid), PsycINFO (Ovid), Business Source Complete, Scopus and Web of Science. The literature search will be documented using PRISMA-ScR extension. Two reviewers will screen titles, abstracts and full-text articles selected for screening. A data extraction table will collate data from included articles to facilitate data analysis.
