further narrows the perspective, predominantly reflecting research from the
United States, limiting the generalizability of the findings to other cultural
and educational settings. Future research should aim to address this limita-
tion by including studies from a wider range of geographical contexts to en-
sure broader applicability. In addition, there is a clear need for well-structured
longitudinal studies to further validate these findings.

Conclusion
The literature reviewed in this paper suggests that as patient populations
become increasingly diverse, the demand for patient-centred care is ris-
ing, highlighting the importance of equipping future health professionals
with training that fosters culturally congruent care. The studies consistently
demonstrate the effectiveness of simulation in training nursing students to be
culturally competent, with standardized patients being the most commonly
used. Furthermore, findings suggest that learning through simulations can
complement and enhance traditional teaching methods such as lectures and
case-based learning. It is therefore important to find a blend of approaches
that goes beyond traditional teaching methods by incorporating more inno-
vative and adaptable techniques that impact learners in diverse ways.
