The concept of safety culture in healthcare-a that enables staff and patients to be free from harm-is characterized by complexity, multifacetedness, indefinability. Over the years, disparate unclear definitions have resulted a proliferation measurement tools, with lack consensus on how can best measured improved. A growing challenge is also achieving sufficient response rates, due "survey fatigue," need for survey optimisation never being more acute. In this paper, we discuss key challenges...
Objective To examine the role of cue utilization in management interruptions during a high workload, rail control simulation. Background High-risk, high-consequence environments are characterized by cognitively demanding, time-critical activities, which operators required to manage frequent under conditions workload. Interruptions deleterious performance as they impose excessive cognitive demand on limited working memory resources, thereby depleting residual resources for primary task. Cue...
Abstract Background Evidence suggests that the culture of healthcare organisations, including residential aged care facilities (RACFs), is linked to quality offered. The number people living in RACFs has increased globally, and turn, attention been placed on provided. This review aimed identify how organisational studied, sought elucidate results previous studies, establish what interventions are being used improve RACFs. Methods We employed an integrative design provide a comprehensive...
Abstract Although interruptions and breaks are similar insofar as they both offer a momentary recess from the primary task, premise for activity in which operator engages differs. Interruptions impose requirement to direct resources complete while opportunity suspended goal rehearsal. The aim of this study was investigate differences resumption lags following “interruptions” “breaks,” whether cue utilisation moderates relationship. Seventy‐nine university students completed an assessment...
This study was designed to examine the role of cue utilization in management interruptions during a high workload, rail control simulation incorporating an implicit pattern movement. The experiment required participants manage frequent interruptive tasks while diverting and logging arrival trains. Measures response latency accuracy trains were recorded. Participants with lower demonstrated greater loss performance following interruptions. These results provide support for assertion that...
