A human factors intervention in a hospital - evaluating the outcome of a TeamSTEPPS program in a surgical ward
2021
AbstractBackgroundPatient safety in hospitals is being jeopardized, since too many patients experience adverse events. Most of these adverse events arise from human factors, such as inefficient teamwork and communication failures, and the incidence of adverse events is greatest in the surgical area. Previous research has shown the effect of team training on patient safety culture and on different areas of teamwork. Limited research has investigated teamwork in surgical wards. The aim of this study was to evaluate the professional and organizational outcomes of a team training intervention among healthcare professionals in a surgical ward after 6 and 12 months. Systems Engineering Initiative…
A case study on gamified interventions for team cohesion in factory work
2018
In this article, we aim to provide insights into the design and implementation of game elements for teamwork on the work floor and to study their effect. Inventing games to break monotonous jobs is a long-standing practice, yet conscious implementation of motivational elements of games at work is a recent phenomenon. Generally, gamification is used to enhance individual performance; it may be effective in enhancing teamwork as well. We developed game elements aimed at team cohesion and examined the effect of two gamified interventions (team performance feedback and personal profiles) on team cohesion in a factory. Results suggest that the interventions mainly raised attention toward the asp…
Evaluación de la calidad de dos modelos de atención farmacéutica en pacientes onco-hematológicos
2007
Objective: To compare the quality of two pharmaceutical care models (with and without pharmacist participation in the clinical team), in hospitalised onco-haematological patients. Method: A prospective cohort study in the oncology and haematology departments of a university hospital over a 26-month period. A centralised model (model C) was used over 16 months and a decentralised integration model (model D) was used during the remaining 10 months. The Iaser© methodology was used to identify candidates for improved drug treatment and for the follow up of patients with drug-related problems (DRP). The results obtained were compared using a series of pharmaceutical care quality indicators. Resu…
Virtual Multidisciplinary Tumor Boards: A Narrative Review Focused on Lung Cancer
2021
To date, the virtual multidisciplinary tumor boards (vMTBs) are increasingly used to achieve high-quality treatment recommendations across health-care regions, which expands and develops the local MTB team to a regional or national expert network. This review describes the process of lung cancer-specific MTBs and the transition process from face-to-face tumor boards to virtual ones. The review also focuses on the project organization's description, advantages, and disadvantages. Semi-structured interviews identified five major themes for MTBs: current practice, attitudes, enablers, barriers, and benefits for the MTB. MTB teams exhibited positive responses to modeled data feedback. Virtualiz…
Team dynamics in emergency surgery teams: results from a first international survey
2021
Abstract Background Emergency surgery represents a unique context. Trauma teams are often multidisciplinary and need to operate under extreme stress and time constraints, sometimes with no awareness of the trauma’s causes or the patient’s personal and clinical information. In this perspective, the dynamics of how trauma teams function is fundamental to ensuring the best performance and outcomes. Methods An online survey was conducted among the World Society of Emergency Surgery members in early 2021. 402 fully filled questionnaires on the topics of knowledge translation dynamics and tools, non-technical skills, and difficulties in teamwork were collected. Data were analyzed using the softwa…
Caractéristiques et motivations des médecins français ayant choisi d’émigrer en Grande-Bretagne
2008
Abstract Background As member states in the European Union now recognize the national qualifications of other member states, doctors will be able to move more freely within Europe according to the opportunities on offer and the constraints imposed by the different health-care systems. The aim of this study is to understand the reasons why French doctors choose to work in Great Britain. Method A self-completed questionnaire was used to conduct a survey among French doctors registered with the British Medical Council in 2005 who had done their studies in France and for whom the address was correct. Results The response rate, which was difficult to assess (impossible to distinguish between inc…
Design of a safety training package for migrant workers in the construction industry
2021
Abstract The construction sector is known as a high-risk sector with many safety challenges. It is also characterised by a large number of migrant workers and these workers report higher accident rates than native workers. This paper presents the design of the CSTP (Construction Safety Training Programme). The CSTP is a theory-based training program aimed at improving safety behaviours in construction sites acknowledging the particular challenges migrant workers face. Based on second and third generational models of training, we developed a training program that addresses the challenges faced by migrant workers in the construction industry, namely language and cultural barriers, times press…
El trabajo en red y la cooperación como elementos para la mejora escolar
2021
La escuela es un entorno enriquecido de aprendizaje, pero no es el único entorno educativo. La misión educativa de la escuela debe contemplar la coordinación escuela-familia como rasgo de su proyecto social. Buena parte de este puente se fundamenta en el diálogo desde la participación de la familia con el desarrollo educativo integral, base de la noción democratizadora de la escuela. Por ello, esta aportación aborda el trabajo en red como elemento para la mejora escolar desde la cooperación. Se focaliza en el trabajo en red al servicio del aprendizaje y el conocimiento y en los equipos cooperativos como unidad de trabajo en red. Una muestra de esta forma de trabajo se concreta en dos experi…
Enseñanza de las ciencias : revista de investigación y experiencias didácticas
2021
Se expone el proceso seguido por un equipo de docentes de secundaria con el objetivo de cambiar la metodología de trabajo en el aula mediante el diseño y aplicación de una secuencia de aprendizaje definida a partir del aprendizaje basado en retos que integre de manera interdisciplinar los contenidos de Biología y Geografía en segundo de la ESO. Mediante la reflexión didáctica compartida, organizada y continuada se transforma una salida de campo tradicional en un nuevo proyecto de trabajo que se desarrolla a lo largo de un trimestre completo. Los resultados muestran la nueva secuencia de actividades creada, la percepción de los estudiantes y familias y los beneficios en la implicación del al…
Engineering students’ conceptions of entrepreneurial learning as part of their education
2015
The purpose of this study was to examine what kinds of conceptions of entrepreneurial learning engineering students expressed in an entrepreneurship course integrated in their study programme. The data were collected during an entrepreneurship course in Estonia that was organised for fourth-year engineering students, using video-recorded group interviews (N = 48) and individual in-depth interviews (N = 16). As a result of the phenomenographic analysis, four qualitatively distinctive conceptions of entrepreneurial learning were discerned. Entrepreneurial learning was seen to involve (1) applying entrepreneurial ideas to engineering, (2) understanding entrepreneurial issues in a new way, (3) …
