Table 5 Strategies implemented in SP telesimulation training activities to enhance group reflection during debriefing
From: A practical guide for translating in-person simulation curriculum to telesimulation
Category | Strategy |
|---|---|
Open and explicit communication | • All participants were asked to activate the gallery view during the debriefing session • Participants were asked to rename themselves as soon as they enter the main room. This allowed to address them by their names, making more personal the communication • As each participant was assigned to a role, they were asked to share their experience and/or their observations • Input was encouraged by directing questions at certain learners who did not participate spontaneously [37] • To avoid losing nonverbal cues during the teledebriefing, participants were asked to keep their cameras and microphones open to facilitate interaction [39, 40] |
Emotional expression | • A protocol to address unpredicted emotional reactions was established. If needed, individuals were invited to join an instructor in a separate breakout room where more detailed follow-up was done |
Group cohesion | • Small groups of 6–8 students in which students were asked to participate spontaneously • Students were asked to activate their microphones to participate on a voluntary basis |
