Abstract: Objective To review the current research status and development trends in the field of debriefing in nursing simulation education,by analyzing relevant literature in the field over the past 20 years,so as to provide guidance for future research directions in nursing education. Methods Using data from the Web of Science database and CNKI,we conducted a literature search on debriefing in nursing simulation education from inception to 2024.Visual analysis of these articles was performed using CiteSpace software.Results This study included a total of 740 English articles and 41 Chinese articles,showing an overall increasing trend in publication volume.The majority of publications originated from the United States.The research focus predominantly lies in nursing education and simulation teaching.At the forefront of research are simulation teaching practice standards and studies on teaching effectiveness.Conclusions Debriefing is increasingly capturing the attention of international nursing educators,yet there is room for improvement in the quality of the literature.Enhancing the depth and breadth of debriefing in nursing simulation education can be achieved through conducting rigorous randomized controlled trials.
