Sammanfattning

Simulator training as a teaching method is an important contribution to increased patient safety. Local full-scale simulator training seeks to recreate reality, and during the debriefing phase, the participants exchange experiences from the training. The debriefing phase is considered significant for learning. The purpose of this study was to describe the nurses’ experiences with the debriefing phase in full-scale simulator training conducted at their workplace in order to acquire in-depth knowledge about learning. Data were collected through individual interviews with ten nurses with the use of an interview guide. The analysis was carried out using a qualitative content analysis. The nurses found that debriefing must reflect the simulation and be positive and more direct. The facilitator skills were important. Increased understanding of one’s own and others’ roles could promote cooperation and safety. Debriefing was experienced as an arena where one could learn from each other, reflect and discuss the needs for changes. Additional research on simulation and debriefing held locally is necessary to determine the extent to which the method contributes to increased clinical patient safety.
