Using the DASH © to Assess Debriefer Performance after Simulation in an Undergraduate Nursing Program

The purpose of this research proposal is to explore debriefing assessment skills of academic nursing faculty and to see whether improvements in debriefing result in a more positive student experience. Using simulation in nursing education has become popular as experiential learning provides students an opportunity to apply theory, practice skills, and fine-tunes decision making that builds the foundation for critical thinking necessary for today’s nursing practice.
