Board 360 - Research Abstract Effective Debriefing Approaches in Simulation-Based Education

Abstract

Introduction/Background Debriefing facilitates participants learning from the simulated experiences through reflection and feedback. The value of debriefing post scenario in simulation-based education (SBE) has been well documented. For example, a review by McGaghie et al1 identifies feedback (including debriefing) as the most important feature of SBE.1 There are many different models and approaches to facilitate debriefing in SBE within healthcare, building on research, experiences and practical application. However, there is little evidence supporting one approach over another. It is likely that several variables are important such as what is taught, the level of learners, their experience..
