Objective: to analyze the evidence available in the literature on the use of health simulation as an educational tool in pediatric nursing care. Method: integrative review carried out with Health Sciences Descriptors (simulation, simulation training and pediatric nursing), in the SCOPUS, MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE and CINAHL databases. A total of 2070 studies were found, 39 full texts were evaluated, in which 30 articles made up the final analysis corpus. Results: most studies are international, current and developed with undergraduate nursing students. The simulation was used as an educational tool for graduation training, qualification/training, especially for nurses, and in the health education of family caregivers. Its use provided improvements in management, self-confidence, skills, efficient communication and construction of knowledge on the subject. Conclusion: the simulation was configured as an educational tool with the potential to improve pediatric care.
