Debriefing is an effective method for improving individual, team, and system performance, and skilled facilitators can enhance the effectiveness of the debrief. Researchers analyzed 50 video-recorded debrief sessions to assess the interactions between debriefer and participants to identify the type of communication that resulted in increased participant reflection. Advocacy-inquiry prompted increased reflection.
