Debriefing Practices in Nursing Education Programs: Results from a National Study
Nursing Education Perspectives
|January 13, 2016
Summary
Most nursing programs lack trained debriefers, impacting simulation education. Improving debriefer training and assessment is crucial for effective nursing simulation-based education.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Healthcare Simulation
- Medical Education
Background:
- Debriefing is crucial in healthcare simulation education.
- Current debriefing practices in nursing education are not well-documented.
- Establishing a baseline of current practices is essential.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe current debriefing practices in United States nursing education programs.
- To identify factors influencing the use of theory-based debriefing.
Main Methods:
- Cross-sectional, internet-based survey of accredited pre-licensure nursing programs in the U.S.
- Regression analysis to identify variables associated with theory-based debriefing.
Main Results:
- Most debriefers in nursing education lack formal training and competence assessment.
- Theory-based debriefing is associated with having a dedicated simulation administrator, debriefer training, and competence assessment.
Conclusions:
- Findings provide a baseline for understanding current debriefing practices.
- Results highlight the need for faculty development in simulation-based education.
- Prioritizing training and assessment for debriefers is recommended.

Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...

Focusing involves centering a conversation on a message's critical elements or concepts. Focusing is valuable if the talk is vague or patients begin to repeat themselves. Sometimes, when patients are asked about their symptoms, they may go off-topic and try to tell their entire life story. Respectfully, the nurse should bring the conversation back into focus.

Effective communication among healthcare professionals during hand-off reporting is essential to delivering safe and continuous patient care. Common professional interactions include reports to healthcare team members, hand-off, and transfer reports. Nurses routinely report information to other healthcare team members and also urgently contact healthcare providers to report changes in patient status.

The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.
