Abstract
Introduction:
The use of moulage, the use of special effects makeup to add realism, in medical education dates to 17th century Europe. Despite its long history in medical education, moulage has been underappreciated in modern teaching. There has been very little research to inform the theoretical and practical application of moulage. This abstract describes a systematic review that explored the effects of moulage interventions in simulation-based education and training, for learner experience. A secondary aim was to understand which pedagogical frameworks were embedded in moulage interventions.
Methods:
Four databases (PubMed, CINAHL, EmBase, Proquest Central) were systematically searched to December 2022 for studies utilising moulage in simulation-based education experiences. There were no date exclusions, however manuscripts other than English language were excluded. Outcomes we sought to explore focused on learner satisfaction, confidence, immersion, engagement, performance or knowledge.
Results:
Results: A total of 20 studies (n=11,471) were included in the study. The studies were mostly in the fields of medicine and nursing and less frequently across other health disciplines. The findings demonstrated greater learner satisfaction, confidence, and immersion when moulage was used against a comparator group. Minimal improvements in knowledge and performance were identified. Only one study underpinned the intervention with a pedagogical theory.
Discussion:
Moulage contributes to perceived learner experience in simulation training, but not knowledge or clinical performance. Gaps in the literature remain in areas outside of medicine and in using theory to inform practice.

Join us on the beautiful Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia as we celebrate the achievements of the first 50 years of the Australian & New Zealand Association for Health Professional Educators (ANZAHPE). Recent times have seen health professional educators adapt, innovate and continue to deliver while navigating through adversity. Now, as the tides turn, we look forward to the opportunities on the horizon and the next 50 years. |
