  2. bOther’ simulation included papers in which the mode of simulation was not documented
  3. cN/A’: Studies where simulation activity design was not specifically discussed, including systematic reviews, scoping reviews, and literature reviews
  4. dN/A’: Studies where simulation activity design was not specifically discussed, including systematic reviews, scoping reviews, and literature reviews
  5. eN/A’ included systematic reviews, scoping reviews, and literature reviews, where debrief as a topic may have been discussed but was not directly from a simulation activity
