Promoting Excellence and Reflective Learning in Simulation (PEARLS) is the best standard for debriefing with integrating feedback and guided reflection. This experimental research aimed to assess medical students' satisfaction with bedside teaching of PEARLS debriefing and to evaluate the effectiveness of the instructor's debriefing process in the 2022 academic year. Fifty 4th and 5th-year medical students at Buddhachinaraj Phitsanulok Medical Education Center were divided into 11 groups and assigned to receive bedside teaching using PEARLS debriefing in pediatric rotation. Bedside teaching comprised history taking and physical examination. PEARLS was based on a five-stage debriefing: setting the scene, reactions, description, analysis, and summary. Post-assessment was made through a survey using 5-point Likert scale questions assessing students' satisfaction and a 7-point Debriefing Assessment for Bedside Teaching (DABT) designed to rate the instructor on the quality of a debriefing. The study showed that 34 students (68% response rate) completed the survey. The mean score of satisfaction, the student's future preferences, and DABT were 4.74, 4.20, and 6.53, respectively. Eighty-two percent of the students identified debriefing as the critical learning component by encouraging self-students' reflection. Thus, PEARLS debriefing is one of the methods that satisfies the learners and improves learning efficiency in bedside teaching.
