Principal investigator Arleigh
Bell, an instructor at Kwantlen
Polytechnic University (KPU)
and five researchers from the
United States carried out a
study to identify which
debriefing practices work best
for health students.

What’s the Research Challenge?
Registered nurses are often the first
professionals present when a
patient’s condition deteriorates. The
challenge is to prepare nurses
adequately so they can recognize
and respond to the deterioration
and take action when life
threatening complications occur.

This study compares student
nurses’ competency (knowledge
and skills), learning retention, and
perceived student support (for
learning) after exposure to
standardized debriefing versus
deliberate practice debriefing
during a simulation exercise.

The students in the
intervention group

Impact.
By adopting a deliberate

model, health students
gain the knowledge, skills,
and confidence to react
appropriately in real-life
situations.

music during simulation
practice is beneficial.
