Abstract

Debriefing is a crucial aspect of simulation-based educational interventions in healthcare. This section of this pocket book aims to clarify what debriefing is really about and why it is such an important aspect of the learning process for everyone involved: participants, simulation observers, and facilitators alike. It also places emphasis on the aspect of briefing as a phase that sets foundation for a successful debriefing so learners understand the approach adopted and what will be expected from them during that phase and its purpose. The many other critical aspects around the practicalities of debriefing, which are “the what, who, when, where, and how to debrief”, are individually explored to provide clear advice with support of relevant references. Of notable importance in this section is the clear description of the most common education performance review approaches (directive feedback, plus/delta, after action review, structured debriefing, etc.) so the most appropriate one can be selected depending on various parameters such as the learning objectives being addressed, the level of expertise of the participants, and the time available.
