Book excerpt: "Background: Simulation is an alternative learning strategy that is becoming more prevalent in nursing schools across the country as a method to enhance clinical practice in a safe environment. Debriefing is the final phase of simulation which is a teaching strategy that provides focus and deliberate practice. Nursing faculty are challenged to create student centered simulation experiences. However, often faculty are inexperienced and struggle facilitating a debriefing learning experience. Problem: When student nurses graduate and enter the work force it is expected that they are able to problem solve and use clinical judgment skills. Students had limited clinical exposure due to the accelerated nature of the program and the unpredictability of their clinical experiences. The nursing faculty at this college had a simulation lab available, but many had not been formally trained to conduct simulations or debriefing. Setting: The setting for this project took place in a small college in the Northeastern United States. The students were in their third and fourth final semesters in an accelerated BSN program. The participants included two groups; nursing faculty and nursing students. Results: Two intended outcomes were measured for this project; faculty knowledge after the debriefing workshop and student perception of improved clinical judgment post simulation debriefing. Faculty knowledge and insight on debriefing was improved as measured by a pre/post-test. In addition, students perceived enhanced learning after the debriefing. Conclusions: Debriefing is a process that involves student participation and guided reflection by faculty whose intention is to identify the gaps in knowledge and skill. This evidence-based practice change project concentrated on the importance of faculty education on structured debriefing as well as the vital understanding of student-centered learning." -- Abstract.
