Abstract

Background

High-quality debriefing is critical for effective simulation-based education; reliable tools are needed to assess its quality. Such tools must be validated for use with diverse populations, including French-speaking learners, to ensure their applicability across cultural and linguistic contexts. The French version of the Debriefing Experience Scale (DES-FR) was developed to address this need.

Methods

A total of 396 French-speaking healthcare students completed the DES-FR. Internal consistency, test-retest reliability, confirmatory factor analysis, and measurement invariance were assessed.

Results

The DES-FR showed excellent internal consistency, good to excellent test-retest reliability, and strong structural validity, supporting a four-factor model. Metric invariance was achieved for the Experience scale, while partial invariance was observed for the Importance scale.

Conclusions

The DES-FR is a robust instrument with strong psychometric properties, suitable for assessing debriefing quality in simulation-based education among French-speaking healthcare students.

汇报经验量表的跨文化验证：法语版

高质量的汇报对有效的模拟教育至关重要；需要可靠的工具来评估其质量。这些工具必须经过验证，以便在包括法语学习者在内的不同人群中使用，以确保其在不同文化和语言背景下的适用性。法语版的汇报经验量表（DES-FR）就是为了满足这一需求而开发的。方法对396名讲法语的卫生保健专业学生进行DES-FR测试。评估内部一致性、重测信度、验证性因子分析和测量不变性。结果DES-FR具有良好的内部一致性、良好至优异的重测信度和较强的结构效度，支持四因素模型。经验量表实现了度量不变性，而重要性量表实现了部分不变性。结论DES-FR具有较强的心理测量特性，是一种可靠的工具，适用于评估法语区卫生保健学生模拟教学中的述职质量。

期刊介绍： Clinical Simulation in Nursing is an international, peer reviewed journal published online monthly. Clinical Simulation in Nursing is the official journal of the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation & Learning (INACSL) and reflects its mission to advance the science of healthcare simulation. We will review and accept articles from other health provider disciplines, if they are determined to be of interest to our readership. The journal accepts manuscripts meeting one or more of the following criteria: Research articles and literature reviews (e.g. systematic, scoping, umbrella, integrative, etc.) about simulation Innovative teaching/learning strategies using simulation Articles updating guidelines, regulations, and legislative policies that impact simulation Leadership for simulation Simulation operations Clinical and academic uses of simulation.
