Debriefing & Feedback
Chapter 5: INACSL Debriefing Criteria
We’ve included the key criteria outlined by INACSL (2021, p. 28-29).
- The debriefing process is planned and incorporated into the simulation-based experience in an appropriate manner in order to guide the learner(s) in achieving the desired learning or evaluation outcomes:
- The debriefing process should be constructed, designed and/or facilitated by a person(s) or system capable and/or competent in providing appropriate feedback, debriefing, and/or guided reflection.
- The debriefing process is conducted in a manner that promotes self, team, and/or systems analysis. This process should encourage reflection, exploration of knowledge, and identification of performance/system deficits while maintaining psychological safety and confidentiality.
- The debriefing process is planned and structured in a purposeful way based on theoretical frameworks and/or evidenced-based concepts.
We encourage you to review the Healthcare simulation standards of best practice (TM) Simulation The Debriefing Process in more detail here.
