That can be one of the most important ways to receive an educational growing needs and skills in the field of nursing science. By searching the English databases from 2004 to 2014 and the Persian literature from 1383 to 1393، the present study was to investigate the related articles. Firstly، 54 papers were selected and by closer examination، 32 papers were identified completely related to the present study.
