Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of debriefing using Lasater's Clinical Judgment Rubric to study nursing students' academic self-efficacy, clinical performance, and clinical judgment. The experiment group was subjected to debriefing by applying the Clinical Judgment Rubric, while general debriefing was applied to the control group. The results of the study are as follows: Clinical judgment scores were improved after debriefing for both groups, significantly higher for students in the experimental group compared to the control group. However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in academic self-efficacy or clinical performance. In conclusion, the debriefing based on the Clinical Judgment Rubric used in this study proved to be effective in improving the clinical judgment of nursing students.
