Aside from the goal of inciting reflection and encouraging communication, debriefing is also used to explore the emotions of the participant. This variable helps frame the experience in such a way that it enhances the learning.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Resources|first=Management Association, Information|title=Nursing Education, Administration, and Informatics: Breakthroughs in Research and Practice: Breakthroughs in Research and Practice|publisher=IGI Global|year=2018|isbn=978-1-5225-5491-2|location=Hershey, PA|page=240}}</ref>
