Highlights
- •Reporting of debriefing evaluation in nursing simulation literature is lacking.
- •Two debriefing evaluation tools were used in nursing research: DASH & DES.
- •Debriefing evaluation is challenging and multifaceted due to various key debriefing elements.
Abstract
Background
In simulation-based learning, debriefing is considered a core component. Both the
National League for Nursing and the International Nursing Association for Clinical
Simulation and Learning emphasize the importance of debriefing in simulation-based
learning. Debriefing quality assessment is an important source of constructive feedback.
Method
The aim of this integrative review was to assess the use of tools for debriefing quality
evaluation in nursing education. This review included studies that reported debriefing
after high-fidelity simulation between 2006 and 2016.
Results
A total of 20 articles were included. Only six studies reported using of debriefing
evaluation tools. A description of used instrument was provided. Despite the importance
of debriefing quality evaluation in simulation-based learning, there is a lack of
using valid and reliable tools in the nursing literature.
Conclusions
Debriefing evaluation tools are essential in simulation-based learning. More systematic
tool development and analysis are required, focusing on all key debriefing elements.
