“Debriefing sessions following incidents of generalized tonic-clonic (GTC) seizures or psychogenic non -epileptic seizures (PNES) on a neurology floor are highly significant. Patients and healthcare providers can be affected by these situations emotionally and
physically, indicating the need for structured opportunities for reflection and support. Scott et al. (2021) suggests debriefing sessions also strengthen team cohesion and communication among nurses and nurse technicians, thereby enhancing their capacity to coordinate emergency care effectively As a result, healthcare professionals can pinpoint areas
for improvement in their response protocols and individual practices, ultimately resulting in improved patient safety. During debriefing sessions, challenges are addressed, experiences are exchanged, and learning is reinforced, which contributes to a resilient and skilled
healthcare team.”
