q2 i? Objective, device-based feedback is preferred over other feedback forms in cardiac arrest simulation education. → Vella Rachael 2025

Evidence¶

Vella Rachael 2025¶

Vella Rachael, Baker Elise, Akerjordet Kristin, Thyer Liz. (2025). The effectiveness and perceived value of feedback used in cardiac arrest simulation education: a mixed-method systematic review.

q2 · i? · review · r3

This is the second of three themes from the review's qualitative content analysis of textual findings across the 160 included studies. The review reports that "objective, device-based feedback is preferred," a preference finding rather than a comparative effectiveness result, and no effect size is reported.

"However, objective, device-based feedback is preferred."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• All feedback, whether human or device-based, improves performance in cardiac arrest simulation education — reports the opposite
• Feedback and debriefing are the most important educational components of simulation-based learning in cardiac arrest education — a broader claim this one bears on
• Current cardiac arrest simulation feedback literature primarily focuses on technical skills measured quantitatively, with limited research on non-technical aspects — related
• Some accelerometer-based and AED-integrated audiovisual feedback devices improved certain CPR parameters but reduced compression depth — related
• All interviewed facilitators preferred video-assisted debriefing over verbal debriefing because video allowed precise, objective feedback whose credibility was not restricted by facilitator hierarchy — related
