To identify specific aspects of teamworking associated with greater clinical efficiency in simulated obstetric emergencies.Cross-sectional secondary analysis video recordings from the Simulation & Fire-drill Evaluation (SaFE) randomised controlled trial.Six and tertiary maternity units.A total 114 randomly selected healthcare professionals, 19 teams six members.Two independent assessors, a clinician language communication specialist identified teamwork behaviours using grid derived safety...
Abstract An evaluation is reported of an exercise‐based approach to remediation dyslexia‐related disorders. Pupils in three years a Warwickshire junior school were screened for risk literacy difficulty using the Dyslexia Screening Test (DST). The 35 children scoring 0.4 or over on DST divided randomly into two groups matched age and score. One quarter participants had existing diagnosis dyslexia, dyspraxia ADHD. Both received same treatment at but intervention group used DDAT exercise...
We describe lessons for safety from a synthesis of seven studies teamwork, leadership and team training across healthcare region. Two identified successes challenges in unit with embedded training: staff survey demonstrated positive culture but perceived need greater senior presence; improved actual emergency care, wide variation performance remained. Analysis multicenter simulation records showed that patient efficiency correlated their teamwork not individual knowledge, skills or...
Agricultural mechanization in developing countries has taken at least two contested innovation pathways—the “incumbent trajectory” that promotes industrial agriculture, and an “alternative pathway” supports small-scale for sustainable development of hillside farming systems. Although both pathways can potentially reduce human animal drudgery, the body literature assesses sustainability impacts these local ecological, socio-economic, cultural, historical contexts farms is either nonexistent...

Purpose: The rapidly evolving nature of agricultural innovation processes in low-income countries requires extension agencies to transform the classical roles that previously supported linear information dissemination and adoption innovation. In Bangladesh, strengthening calls for facilitation interactive communication a wide range mediation tasks within (and between) stakeholders operating different social spheres.

The participants were randomly selected senior junior doctors, midwives, assistants, five 5 7 each. found that optimal perceived be dependent good leadership availability experienced staff. described a leader as one who verbally declares being the...
AbstractDespite the general success of farmer-capacity-building methods such as Farmer Field School in promoting pest management innovations, only those farmers directly involved benefit. How can agricultural extension enable farmer-to-farmer learning about botanical pesticides beyond schools? We wanted to know how different methods, video shows and workshops, change farmers' knowledge, attitudes practices pesticides. This paper explains engages men women spreading across 12 villages Bogra...
Abstract Positive deviants challenge existing organisational structures and institutional set-ups, promote alternative approaches to solving seemingly intractable social problems, either playing direct role of a boundary spanner or indirect as activists. However, these roles positive have not yet been recognised its potential in international development because the legacy deviancy theory lies on negative deviants, such addicts criminals. This paper investigates promise bridging scientific...
Introduction: Patient satisfaction is an important healthcare outcome and communication with clinical staff determinant. Simulation could identify problems inform corrective action to improve patient experience. Methods: One hundred eight randomly selected maternity professionals in 18 teams were videoed managing a patient-actor simulated emergency. The trained assessed the quality of staff-patient interaction. Clinicians scored for their teamwork skills behaviors. Results: There was...
Aim This paper focuses on stakeholders' active involvement at key stages of the research as members a Stakeholder Action Group (SAG), particularly in context lay stakeholder involvement. Some challenges that can arise and wider issues (e.g. empowerment, impact user involvement) are identified explored within literature service health care research, reflecting implications for researchers. Background In DEPICTED study, professional stakeholders were actively involved developing complex...
Abstract Aims To identify training needs in communication skills and to assess preferences of staff working paediatric diabetes services, which will inform the development a learning programme behaviour change counselling for healthcare professionals. Methods Three hundred eighty‐five 67 UK services were sent questionnaires determine their previous training, measure self‐reported view importance confidence addressing common clinical problems perceived feasibility methods improve skilfulness....
This case study assessed local food stakeholders' use of Facebook and Twitter to support interaction build their networks innovation in Ontario. Data were collected using Netlytic − an online data mining tool from the social media platforms key informant interviews. Findings revealed that stakeholders could be more innovative media, but they would unlikely do so, without tapping into beneficial interactions weak ties, as well fostering strong ties. They also need utilize high brokerage role...

This paper examines how doctoral students of sustainability science acquired reflective practice skills and engaged in critical reflection. Using the experience a theory course on rural studies at University Guelph, faculty employed principles co-production dialogue to explore question: What does it mean reflectively braid knowledge systems for sustainability? To do this, each scholar independently responded question, then followed response with an additional individual As final discussion,...
Abstract Recent experiences in participatory video-making raise the question of how best to use this medium for enhancing local seed innovation systems. Embedded a mini-process action research, two styles video—scripted and scriptless—were tested assessed together with farmers facilitators Bogra District, Bangladesh. Data, collected through participant observation, informal interviews, group discussions workshops, were analysed using combination Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) Strengths,...
Diabetes is the third most common chronic condition in childhood and poor glycaemic control leads to serious short-term life-limiting long-term complications. In addition optimal medical management, it widely recognised that psychosocial educational factors play a key role improving outcomes for young people with diabetes. Recent systematic reviews of psycho-educational interventions recognise need new methods be developed consultation stakeholders including patients, their families...
