Video-assisted debriefing technique for nursing simulation: how to proceed?

Técnica de debriefing asistida por video para la simulación de enfermería: cómo hacerlo?

ABSTRACT

Objective:

To identify elements in scientific literature that make the video-assisted debriefing technique feasible in the teaching and learning process, in nursing simulation.

Method:

Integrative literature review, conducted from May to July of 2019. Primary studies, with no time frame, were selected in Portuguese, English or Spanish, in the PubMed®, Scopus®, CINAHL and LILACS databases, using the Rayyan application. Qualitative analysis was adopted.

Results:

205 studies were initially identified, six of which were selected and categorized into: “Elements that make up the video-assisted debriefing technique”; "Benefits of using the video-assisted debriefing technique" and "Challenges of using the video-assisted debriefing technique".

Conclusions:

The elements that made the video-assisted debriefing technique feasible in the teaching and learning process in nursing were concept, objectives, material resources and procedure. The main benefit was the immediate recognition of behaviors, and the challenge was the risk that the video would make debriefing tiring and humiliating.

INTRODUCTION

Nursing education must be consistent with the new job demands of the market, to overcome traditional and dichotomous aspects between what is taught and what is experienced, linking teaching to practice 11. Rodrigues CC, Carvalho DP, Salvador PT, Medeiros SM, Menezes RM, Ferreira Júnior MA, et al. Innovative nursing education from the perspective of epistemologies of the South. Esc Anna Nery. 2016;20(2):384-9. doi: https://doi.org/10.5935/1414-8145.20160053
https://doi.org/10.5935/1414-8145.201600...
. Hence the importance of incorporating new teaching strategies to part with the existing pedagogical barriers11. Rodrigues CC, Carvalho DP, Salvador PT, Medeiros SM, Menezes RM, Ferreira Júnior MA, et al. Innovative nursing education from the perspective of epistemologies of the South. Esc Anna Nery. 2016;20(2):384-9. doi: https://doi.org/10.5935/1414-8145.20160053
https://doi.org/10.5935/1414-8145.201600...
and, in this perspective, clinical simulation enables the articulation between theory and practice, and contributes to new learning opportunities22. Tyerman J, Luctkar-Flude M, Graham L, Coffey S, Olsen-Lynch E. A systematic review of health care presimulation preparation and briefing effectiveness. Clin Simul Nurs. 2019;27:12-25. doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecns.2018.11.002
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecns.2018.11.0...
.

Defined as a teaching strategy that brings participants closer to reality, because it is based on situations that mimic real situations, clinical simulation is divided into three phases: preparation, participation and debriefing33. Palaganas JC, Fey M, Simon R. Structured debriefing in simulation-based education. AACN Adv Crit Care. 2016;27(1):78-85. doi: https://doi.org/10.4037/aacnacc2016328
https://doi.org/10.4037/aacnacc2016328 ...
. The preparation phase comprises two stages; in the first, called pre-simulation, teaching materials are sent for study by the participants, in the second, called pre-briefing/briefing, the participants are given guidance on the proposed scene, the objectives and the roles of each individual. The participation phase is defined by the realization of the scenario and the debriefing refers to a process of reflection on the experience, being one of the most important phases for the acquisition and retention of knowledge by the participant22. Tyerman J, Luctkar-Flude M, Graham L, Coffey S, Olsen-Lynch E. A systematic review of health care presimulation preparation and briefing effectiveness. Clin Simul Nurs. 2019;27:12-25. doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecns.2018.11.002
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecns.2018.11.0...
. When properly conducted, debriefing promotes the development of skills22. Tyerman J, Luctkar-Flude M, Graham L, Coffey S, Olsen-Lynch E. A systematic review of health care presimulation preparation and briefing effectiveness. Clin Simul Nurs. 2019;27:12-25. doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecns.2018.11.002
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecns.2018.11.0...
.

More than 30 methods and ten debriefing techniques have emerged in the past decade. However, there are still few well-designed studies focused on the development of competence in nursing through debriefing, a fact that contributes to this knowledge gap44. Waznonis AR. Methods and evaluations for simulation debriefing in nursing education. J Nurs Educ. 2014;53(8):459-65. doi: https://doi.org/10.3928/014834-20140722-13
https://doi.org/10.3928/014834-20140722-...
.

The video-assisted debriefing technique (VAD) has been recommended by the literature to support learning and improve the quality of this process55. Rossignol M. Effects of video-assisted debriefing compared with standard oral debriefing. Clin Simul Nurs. 2017;13(4):145-53. doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecns.2016.12.001
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecns.2016.12.0...
, referring to the audiovisual response of the simulated session, which allows the review of experiences, to improve learning66. Krogh K, Bearman M, Nestel D. Expert practice of video-assisted debriefing: an Australian qualitative study. Clin Simul Nurs. 2015;11(3):180-7. doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecns.2015.01.003

https://doi.org/10.1097/SIH.000000000000...
. Although widely recommended and considered the gold standard for debriefing1010. Levett-Jones T, Lapkin S. A systematic review of the effectiveness of simulation debriefing in health professional education. Nurse Educ Today. 2014.34(6): e58-63. doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nedt.2013.09.020
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nedt.2013.09.0...
, the VAD technique requires more in-depth scientific investigations, as the existing studies present variability in results regarding their effectiveness and educational benefits for nursing1111.

. In addition, there is a lack of clarity about the guidelines for conducting VAD66. Krogh K, Bearman M, Nestel D. Expert practice of video-assisted debriefing: an Australian qualitative study. Clin Simul Nurs. 2015;11(3):180-7. doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecns.2015.01.003

. In this way, the importance of this study lies in exploring the elements necessary to correctly proceed with the VAD technique, including its components, for the future development of protocols that support its use, based on scientific evidence. Considering the need for research on best practices on the VAD technique, the following guiding question arose: What elements are necessary to proceed with the VAD technique correctly and effectively? This study aimed to identify the elements in scientific literature that make the VAD technique feasible in the teaching and learning process, in nursing simulation.

METHODS

This is an integrative review of the literature on the elements that make the VAD technique feasible, with the intention of identifying and understanding them, defining the best practices to develop this technique.

Six steps followed: (1) identification of the theme and selection of the hypothesis or research question; (2) establishment of criteria for inclusion and exclusion of studies; (3) definition of the information to be extracted from the selected studies/categorization of the studies; (4) evaluation of the studies included in the integrative review; (5) interpretation of results; (6) presentation of the synthesis of knowledge1515. Ganong LH. Integrative reviews of nursing research. Res Nurs Health.1987;10(1):1-11. doi: https://doi.org/10.1002/nur.4770100103
https://doi.org/10.1002/nur.4770100103...
.

The first step was identifying the theme, and selecting the research question through the PICO strategy (acronym for Patient-Intervention-Comparison-Outcomes), to describe the components of the following guiding question: What evidence is available in the literature about the elements needed to perform the VAD technique for learning in nursing simulation?

Searches were carried out from May to July 2019, with search strategies defined for each base. In PubMed® and Scopus®, the descriptors Nursing, “Video Recording”, “Simulation Training” and Learning, and the keyword debriefing were identified in Medical Subjects Headings (MESH), with the following search strategy: (Nursing OR “Economics, Nursing” OR “Education, Nursing” OR “History of Nursing” OR “Legislation, Nursing”) AND (“Video Recording” OR “Recording, Video” OR “Recordings, Video” OR “Video Recordings” OR Video recording OR Videorecordings OR “Audiovisual Recording” OR “Audiovisual Recordings” OR “Recording, Audiovisual” OR “Recordings, Audiovisual”) AND (Debriefing) AND (“Simulation Training” OR “Training, Simulation” OR “Interactive Learning” OR “Learning, Interactive”) AND (Learning OR Phenomenography OR “Memory Training” OR “Training, Memory”.

In the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) database, the descriptors Nurses, “Students, Nursing”, “Video recordings”, Simulations and Learning, and the keyword debriefing were identified in titles, using the strategy search: (Nurses OR “Nursing Assistants” OR “Nursing Home Personnel”) AND (“Students, Nursing” OR “Students, Nurse Midwifery” OR “Students, Nursing, Associate”) AND ( Video recordings OR Videodiscs) AND (Debriefing) AND (Simulations) AND (Learning).

In the Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences database (LILACS), the descriptors “Students, Nursing”, “Nurses; Teaching”, “Video Recording”, Simulation and Learning, and the keyword debriefing were identified in the Health Descriptors (DeCS), with the following strategies: (“Students, Nursing”) AND (Nurses) AND (“Video Recording”) AND (Debriefing) AND (Simulation) AND (Learning; (“Alunos de Enfermagem”) AND (Enfermeiros) AND (“Gravação em Vídeo”) AND (Debriefing) AND (Simulação) AND (Aprendizagem), ("Estudiantes, Enfermería") AND (Enfermeras) AND ("Grabación de video") AND (Interrogatorio) AND (Simulación) AND (Aprendizaje). The term debriefing was used as a keyword, in view of the difficulty to find publications related to the objective proposed in this study, aiming, in this way, to relate the search to the intrinsic character of the theme.

Criteria for inclusion and exclusion of studies were established in the second stage of the integrative review, including primary studies, clearly exposing the components of the VAD technique, without delimiting the time frame, in Portuguese, English or Spanish, published in scientific journals and available electronically. Literature reviews, editorials, reviews, experience reports, case studies, theoretical reflections, dissertations, theses, monographs and abstracts published in event records were excluded. To select the studies, the articles were screened, with the evaluation of titles and abstracts by two professionals, using the Rayyan review application, which speeds up and makes this screening faster, using a semi-automation process that incorporates high level of credibility in the process1616. Ouzzani M, Hammady H, Fedorowicz Z, Elmagarmid A. Rayyan - a web and mobile app for systematic reviews. Syst Rev. 2016;5(1):210. doi: https://doi.org/10.1186/s13643-016-0384-4
https://doi.org/10.1186/s13643-016-0384-...
. Afterwards, the 10 studies that caused divergence among the researchers were handed over to a third party, responsible for making the decision of inclusion or exclusion, later proceeding to a full read and definition of the final sample. To extract the information from the studies, a validated instrument1717. Ursi ES, Galvão CM. Prevenção de lesões de pele no perioperatório: revisão integrativa da literatura. Rev Latino-Am Enfermagem. 2006;14(1):124-31. doi: https://doi.org/10.1590/S0104-11692006000100017
https://doi.org/10.1590/S0104-1169200600...
) was used, featuring: title, level of evidence, country of origin, year of publication, objectives, method and results. The necessary elements for the execution of the VAD technique, its benefits and challenges for execution were also identified. Finally, there was the classification of the level of evidence of the studies1818. Melnyk BM, Fineout-Overholt E. Evidence-based practice in nursing & healthcare: a guide to best practice. 2. ed. Philadelphia: Wolters Kluwer/Lippincott Williams & Wilkins; 2011. and the presentation of their selection1919. Moher D, Liberati A, Tetzlaff J, Altman DG, The PRISMA Group.

as shown in Figure 1.

DISCUSSION

Scientific production about the VAD technique, specifically about its elements, was considered incipient for this research. It may be contradictory to view the current literary collection on the VAD technique and to affirm that there are few studies in this scope, however, the number of studies that aim to describe the components that, in fact, make this technique feasible is scarce66. Krogh K, Bearman M, Nestel D. Expert practice of video-assisted debriefing: an Australian qualitative study. Clin Simul Nurs. 2015;11(3):180-7. doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecns.2015.01.003

, which justifies the small sample of this research.

Publications on the theme are exclusively of international, starting in 2013, characterizing the recent motivation to understand the elements present in the technique2222. Megel ME, Bailey C, Schnell A, Whiteaker D, Vogel A. High-fidelity simulation: how are we using the videos? Clin Simul Nurs. 2013;9: e305-e310. doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecns.2012.04.003

.

A balance in the study evidence level classification that comprised the sample of this review is evidenced, dividing it between experimental and quasi-experimental studies2020.

. The quasi-experimental studies identified demonstrated that the VAD technique is effective for the development of clinical skills in nursing2121. Jacobs PJ.

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecns.2012.04.0...
. The only experimental study that compared the oral debriefing technique and the video technique, describing its elements and procedure, did not show statistically significant results, concluding that there is no superiority of one over the other2020. Gamboa OA, Agudelo SI, Maldonado MJ, Leguizamón DC, Sandra MC.

https://doi.org/10.1186/s13104-018-3831-...
.

An integrative review study, which addressed the effectiveness of the VAD technique, identified mixed and few conclusive results related to the effectiveness for learning2424. Ali AA, Miller ET. Effectiveness of video-assisted debriefing in health education: an integrative review. J Nurs Educ. 2018;57(1):14-20. doi: https://doi.org/10.3928/01484834-20180102-04
https://doi.org/10.3928/01484834-2018010...
. Corroborating this statement, an integrative review survey pointed out that, although widely recommended by the literature, several investigations on the VAD technique failed to prove its educational benefits88. Sawyer T, Eppich W, Brett-Fleegler M, Grant V, Cheng A. More than one way to debrief: a critical review of healthcare simulation debriefing methods. Simul Healthc. 2016;11(3):209-17. doi: https://doi.org/10.1097/SIH.0000000000000148

https://doi.org/10.1097/NNE.000000000000...
. This scenario points to the need for scientific deepening on the use of the VAD technique for nursing education.

Three domains were categorized to understand the characteristics related to the VAD technique: “Elements that make up the video-assisted debriefing technique”; "Benefits of using the video-assisted debriefing technique" and "Challenges of using the video-assisted debriefing technique".

The first category identified the four main components. Among them, the concept and objectives of the technique, which are articulated considering the meaning of visualizing the individual's performance, aiming to remind and evaluate him66. Krogh K, Bearman M, Nestel D. Expert practice of video-assisted debriefing: an Australian qualitative study. Clin Simul Nurs. 2015;11(3):180-7. doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecns.2015.01.003

. The VAD technique favors the observation of behaviors more accurately, since the participant does not need to keep reminding himself how he acted and when he acted, which facilitates the development of critical thinking and skill development2626. Reiersona IA, Haukedala TA, Hedemana H, Bjørk IT. Structured debriefing: what difference does it make?Nurse Educ Pract. 2017; 25:104-10. doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nepr.2017.04.013

.

The element "Material resources" clarified that the audiovisual capture can be simpler or more complex, the latter requiring technical expertise and more specific technology66. Krogh K, Bearman M, Nestel D. Expert practice of video-assisted debriefing: an Australian qualitative study. Clin Simul Nurs. 2015;11(3):180-7. doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecns.2015.01.003
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecns.2015.01.0...
. A recent literature review pointed out that the reflections made through the use of video during health simulations require hard technology and available and trained human resources, which is not always the reality of educational or health institutions, especially in the Brazilian reality2727. Pastor Júnior AA, Tavares CMM. Literature review of audiovisual practices in Nursing education. Rev Bras Enferm 2019;72(1):190-9. doi: http://doi.org/10.1590/0034-7167-2017-0890
http://doi.org/10.1590/0034-7167-2017-08...
.

Considerations were identified in the literature for the judicious use of the VAD technique, highlighting the ideal time for performing the video debriefing; the choice to use the entire video or clippings for debriefing; and the best debriefing period for the video to be exposed to participants.

The literature indicates that, if the VAD technique is chosen, the debriefing will possibly be longer - usually lasting two to three times longer than the scenario, from 20 to 50 minutes. Therefore, due to time, it is necessary to select clippings that make a great discussion feasible, as viewing the entire video is not always possible, making it tiring for students88. Sawyer T, Eppich W, Brett-Fleegler M, Grant V, Cheng A. More than one way to debrief: a critical review of healthcare simulation debriefing methods.

.

There are two possibilities: either moments for displaying the video before the debriefing reaction phase or after the reaction phase, when moods and emotions are more aligned and calmed88. Sawyer T, Eppich W, Brett-Fleegler M, Grant V, Cheng A. More than one way to debrief: a critical review of healthcare simulation debriefing methods. Simul Healthc. 2016;11(3):209-17. doi: https://doi.org/10.1097/SIH.0000000000000148

.

Regarding the domain “Benefits of using the assisted video debriefing technique”, several benefits were identified from the adoption of the VAD technique, with emphasis on the immediate recognition of behaviors that require changes after viewing the video. The success and benefit of using the VAD technique depend more on the facilitator/instructor's expertise and experience, than, in fact, on the use of the video. Demonstrating the participant's performance is useful and can favor learning, however, the use of its benefits will be exponential if this reflection is conduced and carried out properly2525. Zhang H, Mörelius E, Goh SHI, Wang W. Effectiveness of video-assisted debriefing in simulation-based health professions education: a systematic review of quantitative evidence. Nurse Educ. 2019;44(3): E1-E6. doi: https://doi.org/10.1097/NNE.0000000000000562
https://doi.org/10.1097/NNE.000000000000...
.

Challenges were also pointed out in line with the third domain, “Challenges of using the video-assisted debriefing technique”, emphasizing that, in the absence of appropriate pedagogical care, the video can make the debriefing tiring and humiliating for the participant.

A study carried out on the VAD technique at a university in South Korea with 44 nursing students found that, if the facilitator does not have a respectful and ethical attitude, students can feel exposed and humiliated when viewing their behavior. Thus, it is essential to train professionals for debriefing77. Há E. Attitudes toward video-assisted debriefing after simulation in undergraduate nursing students: an application of Q methodology. Nurse Educ Today. 2014;34(6):978-84. doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nedt.2014.01.003
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nedt.2014.01.0...
.

The main limitations of this study were the small number of studies that addressed the elements of the VAD technique for nursing learning, and the lack of methodological clarity in the design of certain studies.

Therefore, the choice of using the VAD technique is a matter of balance between its benefits and challenges, which vary according to the style and expertise of facilitators, the quality of the audiovisual system, the educational style adopted, the objectives of the simulation and the characteristics of the learner66. Krogh K, Bearman M, Nestel D. Expert practice of video-assisted debriefing: an Australian qualitative study. Clin Simul Nurs. 2015;11(3):180-7. doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecns.2015.01.003
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecns.2015.01.0...
.

CONCLUSION

The production of scientific knowledge about the elements that make up the video-assisted debriefing technique is still incipient, of an international and recent nature, being divided into experimental or quasi-experimental studies with a qualitative approach.

Three categories were elaborated on the composition of the video-assisted debriefing technique: the elements, benefits and challenges. The composing elements of the technique were the concept, the objectives, the material resources and the ideal procedure to carry it out, with emphasis on the time taken to perform the video debriefing, the choice to use it in full or only clippings, and the best time for the video to be shown. The main benefit was the immediate recognition of behaviors that require changes and, as a challenge, the use of video that can generate tiredness or humiliation.

This research contributes to teaching, research and assistance within the scope of nursing simulation, by identifying and provoking reflection on the potential and weaknesses in the adoption of this debriefing technique for the teaching and learning process and highlighting its elements, which makes excellence in execution possible.
