Debriefing associated with simulated practice in midwifery education: scoping review ; El debriefing asociado a la práctica simulada en la educación de matronas: scoping review ; O debriefing associado à prática simulada na formação dos enfermeiros parteiros: scoping review

Introduction: Training Specialist Nurses in Maternal and Obstetric Health (EEESMOs) requires preparing professionals for complex and emotionally demanding clinical situations. Clinical simulation with structured debriefing is essential to develop technical and non-technical skills, confidence, and reflective learning. Objective: Maps the evidence on debriefing linked to simulated practice in EEESMOs training, identifying models, competencies developed, and barriers and facilitators. Methods: Following Joanna Briggs Institute methodology and PRISMA-ScR guidelines, we searched multiple databases and grey literature for studies on debriefing in maternal and obstetric nursing simulation. Results: Eleven studies from diverse regions met the inclusion criteria. Structured debriefing models such as Advocacy-Inquiry and Diamond Debriefing predominated, mostly with high-fidelity simulation. Results show significant improvements in technical skills for obstetric emergencies and non-technical skills, including communication, critical thinking, decision-making, and emotional regulation. Participants reported greater confidence and readiness for clinical practice. Barriers included limited resources and insufficient facilitator training; experienced facilitators and structured models were used. Conclusion: Structured debriefing with simulated practice enhances essential competencies, supporting safer maternal and obstetric care. Innovative methods like escape rooms hold promise for engagement and skill acquisition. Future studies should explore long-term impacts and compare debriefing models, including novel simulation approaches. ; Introducción: La formación de los Enfermeros Especialistas en Salud Materna y Obstétrica (EESMOs) requiere preparar profesionales capaces de afrontar situaciones clínicas complejas y emocionalmente exigentes.
