The Power of Prebriefing: New Insights from Simulation Research

A recent study published in Clinical Simulation in Nursing sheds light on the vital role of presimulation preparation and briefing activities in healthcare education. The research reveals that these early-stage strategies significantly enhance learners’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes, ultimately improving the outcomes of simulation-based training.

As healthcare education continues to evolve, this study reinforces the value of structured, intentional prebriefing—not just as a formality, but as a key component of effective learning.
