State of Prebriefing and Debriefing in Virtual Simulation

The growth of technology has led a movement of utilization of best practices in nursing education. Foronda  et al. (2020) conducted a systematic review on the use of virtual simulation (VS). The authors found evidence supporting VS “leading to statistically significant gains in outcomes when compared with traditional methods'' (p.51). However, the varied context and modalities for VS make it difficu lt to determine best practice for its use (Foronda et al., 2020). State Boards of Nursing have been setting guidelines for the use of simulation in nursing education using the evidence from the National Council State Boards of Nursing study (Hayden, Smiley, Alexander, Kardong-Edgren,& Jeffries, 2014).
