Health professions educators face new challenges to prepare learners to provide ethical and empathic care to patients of varied races and ethnicities with differing personal beliefs and values. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) was to compare the effectiveness of Debriefing for Cultural Humility with a traditional method (PEARLS) after care of a patient of color to teach students about cultural humility.
Methods
This study employed a single-site, randomized controlled trial design with 52 nurse practitioner students over two to three months.
Results
Debriefing effectiveness did not differ based on method of debriefing (p = .409). Cultural humility scores significantly improved over time (p = .023) with an increase in scores from baseline to post-implementation across both debriefing groups. The main effect of the debriefing method was not significant, indicating that both debriefing methods led to comparable learning outcomes.
Conclusion
Debriefing for Cultural Humility and PEARLS are effective debriefing methods to promote the discussion and learning of challenging concepts, including diversity, equity, and racism.
