Post-simulation debriefing as a stepping stone to self-reflection and increased awareness - a qualitative study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The voice of the students should be engaged in simulation curriculum development. Involving the students in the development of debriefing strategies might result in a deeper understanding of learning. However, few studies have investigated the students' perspectives on debriefing strategies. The aim of the study was to explore nursing students' perspectives on the post-simulation debriefing.

Methods

An explorative, descriptive design with a qualitative approach was used. Data were collected in December 2017 and May 2018 through focus group interviews with undergraduate nursing students in Norway immediately after a 2-day high-fidelity simulation course in the second year of their Bachelor of Nursing degree. Data were analysed using systematic text condensation.
