Summary
This scoping review explored the prebriefing phase in nursing clinical simulations. Findings indicate a lack of consensus on its definition but highlight its importance for enhancing learning outcomes and participant well-being.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Healthcare Simulation
- Pedagogy
Background:
- The prebriefing phase is critical in clinical simulations.
- Standardization of prebriefing practices is lacking.
- Understanding prebriefing elements is essential for effective simulation-based learning.
Purpose of the Study:
- To map the concept and structural elements of the prebriefing phase in nursing clinical simulations.
- To synthesize current knowledge on prebriefing in nursing education.
Main Methods:
- A comprehensive scoping review was conducted.
- Searches were performed across multiple databases (PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, SCOPUS, Web of Science, etc.) in Portuguese, Spanish, and English.
- No time limit was imposed on the search criteria.
Main Results:
- Twenty-four studies were selected for analysis.
- The term "prebriefing" was consistently used in 70.8% of articles to denote the preparatory phase before simulation.
- Diverse methods for prebriefing were identified, including reflective practices, laboratories, games, and videos.
Conclusions:
- There is no established consensus on the precise definition or constituent elements of the prebriefing phase.
- Prebriefing significantly contributes to participant satisfaction, engagement, and psychological safety.
- Effective prebriefing is associated with improved learning outcomes in nursing clinical simulations.

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 planning phase of the nursing process helps nurses set priorities, outline patient-centered goals and expected outcomes, and tailor nursing interventions to align with the aligned care plan. Through the planning phase, the nurse applies critical thinking skills to align and develop interventions according to the patient's needs. It provides continuity of care allowing patients to receive the maximum benefit from treatment. It serves as a pilot plan for allocating individual staff to a...

The two sources for collecting information are primary and secondary. After gathering information, interpretation and validation help to complete the data. The purpose of assessment is to establish data with the initial information, to interpret data about the patient's perceived needs and health problems, and to respond to these problems identified.
The nurse collects all aspects of the patient's health in the initial assessment, establishing priorities for ongoing focused assessments...

Several factors are considered while creating a patient's care plan. Motivation is a factor in improving communication, and patients often require encouragement to try different approaches involving significant change. It is essential to involve the patient and family in decisions about the plan of care to determine whether the suggested methods are acceptable. Consider meeting critical comfort and safety needs before introducing new communication methods and techniques. Allow adequate time...

Respiratory assessment is a cornerstone of nursing assessments, crucial for the early detection of patient deterioration. This evaluation transcends routine procedures, representing a critical skill nurses must master to ensure optimal patient care.
Objectives and Importance:
The primary goal of respiratory assessment is to evaluate patients at early risk of clinical deterioration. Since respiratory distress often precedes other signs of declining health, breathing patterns and sounds become a...
