Prebriefing

Learning Objectives

  1. Describe principles of learning as per INACSL Standards and effective prebriefing for simulation-based education.
  2. Understand the roles and responsibilities of those involved in the various parts of prebriefing at Mohawk College.
  3. Emphasize essential steps for effectively facilitating pre-simulation preparation and briefing.

Summary of Key Points

  • Prebriefing is a crucial process before simulation.
  • Prebriefing establishes psychological safety and providing orientation to enhance participant preparedness.
  • Deliberately designed prebriefing reduces cognitive load, ensuring participant success and effectiveness in simulation-based learning.
  • The two main components of prebriefing, pre-simulation preparation, and the briefing stage are essential for meeting simulation best practice guidelines and fostering a psychologically safe environment for effective debriefing.
  • Pre-simulation preparation involves providing participants with essential information, such as simulation type, objectives, evaluation methods, scenario details, and educational resources.
  • Briefing, occurring immediately before the simulation-based experience, involves a structured orientation covering various aspects such as behavior expectations, agenda, learning goals, and the establishment of a psychologically safe environment.
  • Prebriefing at Mohawk College can be facilitated by a combination of both the faculty team members and simulation lab technologists.
