This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Debriefing occurred in 28 of the 30 reviewed SBLEs, using methods including videotaped session review, question and answer sessions, guided questions, reflective sessions, and published debriefing guides. → Smith Madison B. RN 2018

The review's Debriefing section synthesizes the 30 included articles. It reports debriefing in 28 of the exercises, typically facilitated by nursing faculty, with actors, registered nurses, and emergency room residents also coleading sessions.
"Debriefing was a central element of nearly all (n = 28) simulation exercises. Debriefing methods included videotaped session review, simple question and answer sessions, guided questions, reflective sessions, and the use of published debriefing guides (eg, Debriefing with Good Judgement)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Only a minority of palliative/EOL communication SBLEs included other interprofessional team members, and half of those involved only actors in those roles — related
- Simulation-based learning experiences are being used to teach palliative and end-of-life communication skills to nursing students and clinicians — a broader claim this one bears on
- Pre-post evaluations in reviewed SBLE studies report significant gains in EOL knowledge and attitudes, but not uniformly across studies — related
- A simulation-based group showed stronger emotional and clinical preparedness and knowledge-to-practice conversion than a seminar-based comparison group — related
- Educators used social networks to guide reflection on engagement, roles, and shared mindset during debriefing — related
