Objective: This work aimed to conduct an integrative literature review to assess the impact of using virtual digital simulators (SV) for clinical cases on the enhancement and facilitation of clinical decision-making by students and healthcare professionals. Methods: The review was conducted based on the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) recommendations. A total of 362 articles were obtained from the established databases, of which 6 were included in the review. Results: As a result, it can be highlighted that such tools promote theoretical/practical applicability, increase awareness of individual skills, reduce anxiety, allowing for more confident practice, and consequently improve clinical decision-making. Conclusions: In conclusion, the use of SV appears as a promising alternative for the training of students and healthcare professionals.
