Introduction Goal setting is used in education to promote learning and performance. Debriefing after clinical scenario-based simulation is a well-established practice that provides learners a defined structure to review and improve performance. Our objective was to integrate formal learning goal generation, using the SMART framework (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-bound),...

BACKGROUND There is little evidence that single-session debriefing is effective in reducing adverse mental health outcomes after trauma. Few trials have included long-term follow-up, but two also suggest possible negative effects of debriefing. We aimed to assess longer-term maternal health outcomes in a trial of midwife-led debriefing following an operative birth, given that findings at six mo...

Objective This paper explores the nursing literature to identify the educative process and essential features of debriefing. Setting Nursing education settings: undergraduate, postgraduate and professional development in nursing and midwifery. Data sources Studies of debriefing in nurse education were located in peer reviewed journals between 1990 and May 2010. Searches were made using keywords...

The impact of stressful life events has been studied extensively in the psychiatric literature. Crisis debriefing techniques have been shown to be effective in decreasing psychiatric morbidity following exposure to these stressful situations. Stress reactions and crisis debriefing have been reported in many groups including combat veterans, survivors of natural disasters and accidents, victims ...

e front matter 2013 Int ns.2011.11.009 Abstract Background: Debriefing is a critical component of clinical simulation, yet there are limited studies that demonstrate the outcomes of debriefing on learners’ clinical judgment. Method: Using the Lasater Clinical Judgment Rubric, this mixed-method study examined the effects of structured debriefing after 2 clinical simulation experiences on 86 juni...

Background: Simulation is a timeand cost-intensive teaching modality that consiists of both hands-on experience with a lifelike manikin and a debriefing session. While many educators believe that both simulation components are important for learning, the impact of the individual components is unknown. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine where in a simulation experience greate...

BACKGROUND Despite debriefing being found to be the most important element in providing effective learning in simulation-based medical education reviews, there are only a few examples in the literature to help guide a debriefer. The diamond debriefing method is based on the technique of description, analysis and application, along with aspects of the advocacy-inquiry approach and of debriefing ...
