Cultural Considerations in Debriefing
Janice C. Palaganas, Albert K. M. Chan, Kim Leighton
Abstract
SUMMARY STATEMENT: Culture influences how we communicate, teach, and learn. Debriefings are laden with cultural influences. Without attention to cultural considerations, accepted debriefing techniques might not reach the desired outcome and, in certain cultures, may even harm teacher-learner relationships. We explore cultural considerations in healthcare simulation debriefing and offer guidance for debriefers to gain awareness of potential cultural biases.
