Empathy is essential for effective therapeutic engagement. Nursing students often report feeling unprepared in dealing with individuals who experience AHs. Auditory hallucination simulation (AHSim) has been used in undergraduate nursing education as an experiential learning strategy to enhance empathy and insight. However, evidence regarding its impact on empathy among undergraduate nursing students remains limited.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aims:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This integrative review aimed to synthesize and critically appraise the available evidence on the impact of AHSim on empathy among undergraduate nursing students.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A systematic search was conducted across PubMed, MEDLINE Complete, and CINAHL Ultimate for studies published between 2016 and 2026.

Overall, participation in AHSim was associated with increased self-reported empathy and enhanced understanding of the lived experiences of AHs.
