Abstract This introductory paper to the special issue on Safety Culture considers some of key issues relating nature, measurement and utility this concept. It argues that there are many important questions still unanswered: what is safety culture its theoretical basis (the question definition), it synonymous with climate, essential characteristics a 'good' how might they be best measured, reliability, validity existing measures culture, does concept contribute-if at all-to good systems...
Background Analyses of adverse events in surgery reveal that many underlying causes are behavioural, such as communication failure, rather than technical. Non-technical (i.e. cognitive and interpersonal) skills not addressed explicitly surgical training. However, surgeons need to demonstrate these skills, which underpin their technical excellence, maximise patient safety the operating theatre. This paper describes method used identify surgeons' non-technical development a taxonomy...
The aviation domain provides a better analogy for the ”temporary” teams that are found in acute medical specialities than industrial or military teamwork research based on established teams. Crew resource management (CRM) training, which emphasises portable skills (for whatever crew pilot is rostered to given flight), has been recognised have potential application medicine, especially operating theatre, intensive care unit, and emergency room. Drawing from psychology produced behavioural...
Human factors is an evidence-based scientific discipline used in safety critical industries to improve and worker well-being. The implementation of human strategies anaesthesia has the potential reduce reliance on exceptional personal team performance provide safe high-quality patient care. To encourage adoption science anaesthesia, Difficult Airway Society Association Anaesthetists established a Working Party, including anaesthetists operating theatre members with expertise and/or interest,...
Abstract The human and organizational factors affecting safety were examined on 10 offshore installations using the Offshore Safety Questionnaire. questionnaire contained scales measuring work pressure clarity, job communication, behaviour, risk perception, satisfaction with measures attitudes. A total of 722 UK workers (33% response rate) from a range occupations completed returned questionnaire. 'safety climates' various characterized by most respondents feeling 'safe' respect to hazards...
This article explores the concepts of safety culture and climate in an attempt to determine which is more useful for describing organization's “state safety.” From a review literature purporting measure or climate, it argued that, although two terms are often interchangeable, they actually distinct but related should be treated accordingly. The term “safety climate” best describes employees' perceptions, attitudes, beliefs about risk safety, typically measured by questionnaire surveys...
A questionnaire survey was conducted with 222 anaesthetists from 11 Scottish hospitals to measure their attitudes towards human and organisational factors that can have an impact on effective team performance consequently patient safety. customised version of the Operating Room Management Attitude Questionnaire (ORMAQ) used. This measures leadership, communication, teamwork, stress fatigue, work values, error climate. The respondents generally demonstrated positive interpersonal aspects...
