Debriefing & Feedback

Chapter 2: Debriefing Frameworks

Why use a framework and debriefing script? (Cheng, et.al, 2016)

  • Learning outcomes are improved when novice educators use debriefing scripts.
  • Consistent use of a debriefing framework helps educators structure the debriefing.
  • Participants anticipate the flow and nature of the conversation once they become familiar with the framework.
  • Structures the conversation by outlining several phases to the debriefing process.
  • Help manage time and prioritize discussion points and organize the debriefing process.

PEARLS Framework  

  • Eppich et.al (2015) describe an integrated conceptual framework for a blended approach to debriefing called PEARLS [Promoting Excellence and Reflective Learning in Simulation]. PEARLS is a tool designed to facilitate implementation of the framework adaptable for debriefing simulations with a variety in goals, including clinical decision making, improving technical skills, teamwork training, and interprofessional collaboration.
  • The PEARLS framework integrates 3 common educational strategies used during debriefing, namely, (1) learner self-assessment, (2) providing information in the form of directive feedback and/or teaching (3) facilitating focused discussion. Select the analysis style that is best suited for the time allowed, student experience, and desired outcomes. Discussion should link back to the simulation objectives.
