Nowadays, simulation in nursing education is a constant component in preparing and improving the clinical performance of nurses and is part of the curriculum of most undergraduate nursing programs. The aim of this study was to design a curriculum model based on simulation in nursing education through synthesis research method.

This qualitative research with aim of identifying components of curriculum based on simulation using directed content analysis method has been done The inclusion criteria for this study included all valid scientific research related to the subject between 2007 and 2021. By regular searches in the databases of PubMed, ProQuest, ScienceDirect, Eric, Springer, CINAHL, 230 identified studies and 80 studies for the final review was selected. The researcher-made worksheet form was used to collect, record and report the initial research information. Findings were analyzed using the seven-stage qualitative content analysis. To ensure the coding method, two evaluators were used to re-codify the findings and to confirm the reliability of the Cohen Kappa coefficient formula was used. In this study, the agreement between the evaluators was 0. 81 or 81%.

Based on the results, the logic of this curriculum includes increasing critical thinking, increasing self-esteem, increasing competence, increasing team, and group cooperation, increasing self-efficacy, increasing patient safety, and its goals include creating basic knowledge, acquiring diagnostic skills, assistance Transferring learning, reducing the gap between clinical environments and theory classes, helps to increase the attractiveness of education, which can be achieved through methods such as role-playing, collaborative learning, problem-based learning, and so on.

The results showed that the simulation-based curriculum could fill the gap between theory and practice in nursing education.
