Subclaims¶

q2 i? Participants reported learning from observing others' actions and mistakes on video, seeing how actions related to team performance; facilitators observed that most participants mainly focused on their own performance. → Stefan A. Schreder 2025 q2 i? Facilitators had the impression that participants watching the video were mostly looking at themselves and their own behaviour rather than observing teammates. → Stefan A.

q2 · i? · qualitative · r3

Focus group results on the category 'outside view and its value'. Participants said the outside view revealed colleagues' stress or missing information and "clarified the origin of negative outcomes on the team level", yet "some participants, however, admitted that they mainly focused on themselves when watching the video".

"Besides understanding how the actions of the team relate to each other, it was also considered helpful to see others making mistakes. According to participants, revisiting the situation with the help of the video clarified the origin of negative outcomes on the team level."

q2 · i? · qualitative · r3

Facilitator interview evidence corroborating participant self-focus: FA 1 had the impression that participants watching video were predominantly checking their own behaviour rather than observing teammates, consistent with the focus group findings.

"when they watched the video, I had the impression that most of them were looking at themselves: How did I behave?"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Video evidence in VAD increased participants' acceptance of feedback and its credibility, reducing disputes over whether critical observations were correct — related
• High-tech VAD equipment made some participants feel under observation and stressed, and viewing recorded mistakes before teammates was seen as critical in both VAD forms, a potential threat to psychological safety — related
• Most simulation participants preferred high-tech video-assisted debriefing over lower-tech VAD and verbal debriefing, mainly for its better audio/video quality and focused review — related
• In the debriefings, students who observed a scenario via live video join facilitators in attempts to reconceptualise the experiences expressed by scenario participants, using audiovisual appearances as a resource — related
• Video-assisted debriefing enhances precision but risks psychological safety and narrows reflection to individual performance — related
