Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effect of debriefing interventions on clinical competence in nursing students. Methods: A systematic review with a meta-analysis was conducted. Korean and English studies were retrieved from eight databases: KERIS, KISS, KoreaMed, NDSL, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, EMbase, and PubMed through January 2022. Fifteen studies were selected for the meta-analysis based on the inclusion criteria and low risk of bias. The data was analyzed using RevMan 5.3. and R software 3.6.2. Results: Most studies had a low risk of bias. Debriefing intervention in simulation-based education were found to be significantly effective compared to the control groups on clinical competence(Hedges’g=1.06, 95% CI=0.73~1.39, p<.001). In addition, the length of the debriefing intervention influenced the heterogeneity in the meta-ANOVA. Conclusion: Debriefing intervention in simulation-based education help improve nursing students’ clinical competence in nursing students. Futhermore, our findings suggest that nursing educators should consider the length of debriefing for nursing students to improve their clinical competence.
