1Universidade de São Paulo. Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brazil.
Objective:
To analyze available scientific evidence in literature pertaining to the elements that make the instructor-led oral debriefing technique in clinical nursing simulation feasible.
Methods:
An Integrative literature review along the following information sources: PubMed®, Scopus, Web of Science, Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS) [Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature], Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), and Educational Resources Information Centre (ERIC).
Results:
284 studies were identified, and 5 composed the sample. Four elements constitute oral debriefing: characteristics of the instructor; discussion format, debriefing structure; and time frame. The main benefit was to develop cognitive and psychomotor skills; and the challenge was to establish training for instructors. The studies showed high methodological quality.
Final Considerations:
The scientific deepening as to the elements, benefits, and challenges of oral debriefing enables its execution and offers quality to the nursing process.
