Reflective Journaling to Promote Critical Reflective Thinking Post-Simulation-Based Education

There is a growing body of research describing how written reflective narratives after the debriefing process of simulation supports positive student learning outcomes (International Nursing Association of Simulation Clinical Learning [INASCL] Standards Committee et al., 2021). Written reflective narrative on practice fosters the development of critical thinking skills, strengthens higher-level thinking, is considered more effective than speech (Asselin, 2011; Kennison, 2021; Kim, 1999). Written narratives, often in the form of journaling, are an essential tool for improving a number of student outcomes including self-inquiry, clinical judgement, problem-solving skills,and professional growth (Genua, 2021; Greenleaf-Brown et al., 2022; Horton et al., 2021; Khoiriyati& Sari, 2021; McCarthy et al., 2021; Smith et al., 2020).
