1Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP), Faculdade de Enfermagem. Campinas, São Paulo, Brasil.
Objective:
To map the concept and structural elements of the prebriefing phase in clinical simulations in nursing.
Method:
Scoping review with searches between May and June 2021 in the databases PubMed, Virtual Health Library, EMBASE, CINAHL, SCOPUS, Web of Science, CAPES Catalog of Theses and Dissertations, Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations and Google Scholar, in portuguese, spanish and english, without time limit.
Results:
24 studies were selected. In 17 articles (70.8%) the authors used the spelling prebriefing (in italics and amended), to refer to the stage that precedes the simulation, including preparatory activities and guidance. Alternative methods for prebriefing were described (reflective practices, laboratories, games and videos).
Conclusion:
There is no consensus regarding the concept and elements that constitute the prebriefing. This simulation stage contributes to participant satisfaction, participation and psychological safety, with better learning outcomes.
