Summary Statement We describe an integrated conceptual framework for a blended approach to debriefing called PEARLS [Promoting Excellence And Reflective Learning in Simulation]. We provide a rationale for scripted debriefing and introduce a PEARLS debriefing tool designed to facilitate implementation of the new framework. The PEARLS framework integrates 3 common educational strategies used during debriefing, namely, (1) learner self-assessment, (2) facilitating focused discussion, and (3…

The Promoting Excellence and Reflective Learning in Simulation (PEARLS) Approach to Health Care Debriefing: A Faculty Development Guide
Sim for Life Foundations: A Simulation Educator Training Course to Improve Debriefing Quality in a Low-Resource Setting: A Pilot Study.
TLDR
The Sim for Life Foundations program significantly improves debriefing skills with retention of debriefed skills at 12 months, and there was a significant improvement from pretraining to posttraining and no significant decay from posttraining to 12 months.
Development, Implementation, and Evaluation of a Faculty Development Workshop to Enhance Debriefing Skills Among Novice Facilitators
TLDR
A proposed model integrating full-length debriefing and repetitive practice paired with summative and formative feedback provides a feasible and effective approach fordebriefing training of novice facilitators for simulation-based educational courses.
A Quality Improvement Project: Adopting the Standards of Best Practice in Simulation: Debriefing with PEARLS
TLDR
This quality improvement (QI) project explored the pedagogy of High Fidelity Simulation and Debriefing as a solution for the lag in New Graduate Nurse (NGN) practice readiness.
Communication content during debriefing in simulation-based medical education: An analytic framework and mixed-methods analysis
TLDR
The association between communication content and learning outcomes appears particularly relevant to further enhance efficacy of debriefings and simulation-based medical education.
Simulation in Nursing Education: A Literature Review on Debriefing
TLDR
The goal was to identify best practices for simulation debriefing to foster undergraduate nursing students’ improved critical thinking and clinical judgment and to make recommendations for nurse educators and researchers aboutdebriefing.
Student Performance During a Simulated Patient Encounter Has No Impact on Debriefer Adherence to PEARLS Debriefing Model
TLDR
Student performance had no impact on debriefer performance, suggesting the PEARLS model is an effective aid for debriefers, regardless of learner performance.
PEARLS for Systems Integration: A Modified PEARLS Framework for Debriefing Systems-Focused Simulations.
TLDR
PEARLS for Systems Integration is described, a conceptual framework, debriefing structure and script that facilitators can use for systems-focuseddebriefing, which builds on Promoting Excellence And Reflective Learning in Simulation for System Integration.
Learner-Centered Debriefing for Health Care Simulation Education: Lessons for Faculty Development.
TLDR
A conceptual framework is introduced that highlights the key dimensions of learner- versus instructor-centered debriefing and describes key variables to consider when managing the balance between learners and instructors.

THE ESSENTIALS of DEBRIEFING in Simulation Learning: A Concept Analysis
TLDR
The concept of debriefing is analyzed and essential components are identified and supports the identification of best practices and future research agendas to enable nurse educators to master the knowledge and strategies needed to provide students with significant learning during simulation.
TeamGAINS: a tool for structured debriefings for simulation-based team trainings
TLDR
The results indicate that TeamGAINS could provide a useful debriefing tool for training anaesthesia staff on all levels of work experience and has the potential to allow for a surfacing, reflecting on and changing of the dynamics of team interactions.
Debriefing in Simulated-Based Learning: Facilitating a Reflective Discussion
TLDR
Aspects of simulation-based learning, including briefing (preparing learners for simulation) and the simulation (scenario), will be reviewed because they have particular relevance to debriefing and evaluation of the debriefer will be addressed to ensure optimal performance.
The art and science of debriefing in simulation: Ideal and practice
TLDR
What simulation centre heads think is important for the role mix of simulation instructors is (at least partly) not reflected in debriefing practice.
Research Regarding Debriefing as Part of the Learning Process
TLDR
A model for publication of research data was developed and presented which should help researchers clarify methodology in future work, and a “who, when, where, what, why” approach was proposed.
Key elements of debriefing for simulator training
TLDR
The detailed, video-based discussion of a simulator scenario with all participants directly after the session, with the aim to enhance self-reflection, is called, ‘debriefing’.
