Quality Education for a Healthier Scotland
AIMS
•
Extend previous Human Factors (Non-technical skills) work (mainly surgical, hospital-based) to other NHS Scotland contexts
•
Using psychology, behaviour change theory to develop and evaluate interventions
•
Understand differences in Human Factors related to context
•
Develop a basis for future curricula for patient safety training

HUMAN FACTORS… Enhancing clinical performance through an understanding of the effects of teamwork, tasks, equipment, workspace, culture and organisation on human behaviour and abilities and application of
that knowledge in clinical settings” (Catchpole 2010)

Five studies : Five contexts: Five sets of HF behaviours?

SHINE – eSEA reporting

Commonalities – human factors individual/team-based
• Common Human factors
Including……….
Personal : fatigue Cognitive, mental load, stress and Team : Communication, decision making, teamwork Context: gathering Situational awareness, information Quality Education for a Healthier Scotland
Commonalities: Using behavioural theory,(TPB)
• • • • • Attitudes Norms Self-efficacy Intentions The intention behaviour gap?

Explaining hand hygiene practice. Psychol health and med. Quality Education for a Healthier Scotland
TPB: Positive attitudes, norms and confidence predict intentions (BASICS, MUS, HH) ATTITUDES Perceived importance of communication during resuscitation (BASICS) SOCIAL NORMS Other doctors encourage me to refer (patient) for investigations (MEDICALLY UNEXPLAINED SYMPTOMS) CONFIDENCE Its easy for me to wash my hands before and after patient contact (HAND HYGIENE)

Intention-behaviour gap…
“And I was trying to do several things at
once. And I did not do that very well. And certainly that is one thing when I thought about hand hygiene at the end of it that just went out the window. It basically never entered my head even though I had spent so long before that point washing my hands every time I went into a room, every time I left a room” (HH)

And differences…
• • • •
Health professionals :
– Level of experience, seniority
Control (responsibility):
– Individual, group, system
Task : demands
– Frequency, (Routine, habit, one-off), implications, cognitive complexity
Context:
– Time, resources Quality Education for a Healthier Scotland

Recommendations :
Generic and specific behaviour change techniques
• •
Further work to develop and evaluate training in Human Factors
–
Use taxonomy to MAP BCTs onto generic and specific human factors
– –
Test in different groups of health professionals For both novice and experienced groups Develop a curriculum for the service with standards (levels of competence) which could be assessed with both generic and specific elements

“
Without this, human factors will be considered as a generic competence and fail to receive the attention that it rightly deserves or indeed be appreciated for what it is - a way to secure high standards of care, performance improvement as well as minimise risk and harm to patients.” Professor George Youngson
