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

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.
