Trial Outcomes & Findings for The Effect of Immediate Versus Delayed Debriefing on Basic Life Support Competence In Undergraduate Nursing Students. (NCT NCT06624449)

NCT ID: NCT06624449

Last Updated: 2024-11-29

Results Overview

Competence level was measured via the American Heart Association (2020) Basic Life Support competency checklist, which is a dichotomous rating scale of 0 (not done/done incorrectly) and 1 (done correctly); there was a total of 15 points. The higher the score, the better the outcome.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Immediately after the intervention

The Debriefing Experience Scale (DES) (Reed, 2012) was developed to assess nursing students debriefing experience. It included 20 elements in total and was split into four subscales: (1) Analyzing Thoughts and Feelings; (2) Learning and Makin Connections; (3) Facilitator Skill in Conducting the Debriefing; and (4) Appropriate Facilitator Guidance (Reed, 2012). A Likert scale ranges from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). The minimum score is 20 and the maximum is 100. The higher the score, the better the outcome.
