Do Experts and Novices Agree? A Qualitative Review of the 2016 INACSL Standards of Best Practice: SimulationSM Reviewer Feedback

Published:October 30, 2018DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecns.2018.09.007

      Abstract

      Background

      The International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning published Standards of Best Practice: SimulationSM for the purpose of advancing the science of simulation and sharing best practices.

      Methods

      This study used a qualitative description to answer the primary research question, how does the type of feedback given by the expert reviewers differ compared with the novice reviewers?

      Results

      There were five main themes identified from the reviews: consistency, theory/objectives, reliability/validity, clearly defining expectations, and excellence. Novices and experts had similar themes but differences in details.

      Conclusions

      Both types of feedback are important to obtain because users of the standards are both experts and novices.
