Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur sköterskor som arbetar på en operationsavdelning där WHO´s Surgical Safety Checklist används, upplever kommunikation, samarbete och patientsäkerhet. Kort metodbeskrivning: Kvantitativ metod. Design: Deskriptiv, retrospektiv, icke-experimentell tvärsnittsstudie. Datainsamlingen genomfördes på en operationsavdelning som använt WHO´s Surgical Safety Checklist drygt ett år. Deltagarna fick anonymt besvara ett frågeformulär med strukturerade frågor, en översatt version av the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ) anpassad till operationspersonal (OR). I studien undersöktes 3 av frågeformulärets 6 teman: säkerhetskultur, samarbetsklimat och stressidentifiering. Vidare undersöktes hur sköterskorna tyckte att kommunikationen på operationssalen fungerade; samt i vilken grad checklistan hade förbättrat kommunikationen, samarbetet och patientsäkerheten på operationssalen. Varje fråga besvarades genom en femgradig Likertskala. Huvudresultat: Fynden visar att man kan anta att sköterskorna upplevde att kvaliteten på kommunikationen och samarbetet på operationssalen var hög. Vidare ser det ut som om deltagarna ansåg att patientsäkerheten fungerade adekvat och att checklistan var viktig för patientsäkerheten. Resultaten visar också att sköterskorna tyckte att checklistan i hög grad har förbättrat kommunikationen, samarbetet och patientsäkerheten på operationssalen. Slutsats: Sköterskornas upplevelse av kommunikation, samarbete och patientsäkerhet på operationssalen antas huvudsakligen vara positiv 1 år efter att WHO´s Surgical Safety Checklist infördes. / The aim of the study was to examine the nurses´ experiences of communication, teamwork and patient safety in an operation ward where WHO´s Surgical Safety Checklist is used.  Quantitative method. Design: descriptive, retrospective, non-experimental cross-sectional study. The data collection was implemented in an operation theatre where WHO´s Surgical Safety Checklist had been applied for the last year. The participants responded to a structured questionnaire, a translated version of the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ) adjusted for operating rooms (OR). In the study 3 of 6 themes of the questionnaire was examined: safety culture, teamwork climate and stress identity. The study examined the nurses´ experiences of communication in the operating room; and to what extent the checklist has improved the communication, teamwork and patient safety in the operating room. Each item was answered using a 5-point Likert scale. The findings reveal nurses´ experience of high quality of communication and collaboration in the operating room. Further it seems that the participants thought the patient safety was sufficient, and the checklist briefing was important for the patient safety. The results also show that nurses thought the checklist briefing has improved the communication, collaboration and patient safety in the operating room. The nurses´ experiences of communication, teamwork and patient safety in the operating room were assumed as mostly positive 1 year after the introduction of the WHO´s Surgical Safety Checklist.

Recent empirical studies have looked that the relationship between narcissism and different aspects of organizations. However, little research exists on narcissism in group work and its relationship with productivity and group effectiveness. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between narcissism, self-perceptions and other perceptions of competence and contribution in a team performance setting. Data were collected from college-aged students (N = 52) at a state university. Results indicate that a narcissistic view of authority is correlated the group's perception of leadership and with time spent talking during the group task. Furthermore, narcissistic vanity was positively correlated with higher group respect and personal error on the in-lab task.

Organizacija - gyvas organizmas, kuris gali augti, klestėti arba nykti, nes čia susiduria skirtingi žmonės, turintys savus interesus, poreikius, norus ir vertybes. Čia yra skatinama konkurencijos atmosfera, tvyroja atleidimo iš darbo galimybė, egzistuoja nuolatinė darbuotojų kova dėl savo pozicijų, todėl organizaciją galima įvardinti, kaip „konfliktų kalvę“ ir visa tai dėl to, kad žmonės yra skirtingi, turintys tam tikras ydas ir tikslus. Konfliktai ne tik kuria neigiamą mikroklimatą, apsunkina vidinę komunikaciją, bet trukdo ir komandiniam darbui, nuo kurio priklauso organizacijos veiklos produktyvumas ir kokybė. Šiuolaikiniame pasaulyje komandinio darbo organizavimas suprantamas kaip efektyvesnės veiklos užtikrinimas, sėkmę lemiantis veiksnys. Organizacija, kuri darbą grindžia komandomis sudaro sąlygas sparčiau vystytis, efektyviau mokosi ir panaudoja išmoktas žinias, taupo laiką, ieško naujovių ir jas įgyvendina. Taip atliekamas darbas leidžia darbuotojams integruoti ir susieti informaciją tokiais būdais, kurių atskiras asmuo nepajėgtų įgyvendinti. Tinkamai surinktos ir efektyviai dirbančios komandos vertė akivaizdi ir neįkainojama. Deja, komandose taip pat kyla konfliktai, kurių priežastys gali būti tiek socialinės (skirtingos vertybės, įsitikinimai, išsilavinimai), tiek darbinės (kylančios dėl gautos užduoties įvykdymo). Akivaizdu, kad konfliktai įtakoja komandinį darbą. Dėl to reikia numatyti, kokia strategija kilus konfliktui yra tinkamiausia. Siekiant, kad...

Conflicts are not only the reason of a negative microclimate, conflicts are responsible for the internal communication, conflicts disturb the team work, and the team work is responsible for the organization activity’s productivity and quality. In the modern world the planning of the team work is understood as a factor which warrants the more effective activity and success. The organization which grounds its activity on team work creates conditions to develop more quickly, to learn more effectively, to use knowledge which is learned, to save time, to look for innovations and to implement them. Such manner of activity lets employees to integrate and to link the information by the means, which would be impracticable for the individual employee. The value of properly collected and effectively working team is obvious and invaluable. Unfortunately, conflicts arise in the teams too, and the reasons of these conflicts can be social (different valuables, creeds and education), and working (which appear because of the implementation of given task). It is obvious that conflicts have impact on team work. This is why it is necessary to foresee what strategy will be the most appropriate when the conflict will arise. It is necessary to solve arising conflicts quickly, effectively and correctly, seeking that... [to full text]

The purpose of this study was to describe the interdisciplinary teamwork pedagogy of the Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities (LEND) training programs, specifically the content focus, instructional methods, and assessment practices. LEND programs are a national network providing long-term, graduate interdisciplinary training through federal funds from the Health Resources and Services Administration's Maternal Child Health Bureau. This study used a mixed method approach to describe the interdisciplinary teamwork pedagogy of LEND training programs. The study occurred in three stages: 1) a survey of LEND training directors, 2) a survey of LEND interdisciplinary teamwork instructors, and 3) document review of the national LEND website and LEND program websites. Data were analyzed using statistical and qualitative methods and interpreted through the use of professional competencies, the How People Learn framework, and research literature. This study provides for an understanding of interdisciplinary teamwork within one national program in order to inform efforts for training, practice, and research.

Background: Good communication is very important for the safety of patients in emergency situations. Few studies have been conducted regarding communication among health care staff. The aim of the present study was to investigate anesthetist nurses experience of communication among health care staff during a situation of emergency in a hospital ward.Methods: The study is explorative and based on interviews with six anesthetist nurses. A qualitative content analysis was used as an analyses model.Result: The six anesthetist nurses experienced structured communication as of great importance during an emergency situation. Three main categories appeared from the material: i) the importance of the organization ii) communication structure and communication patterns and iii) education and experience with nine subcategories. The most important factor in the organization is the need of a leader with the ability to manage a team, where the team member don´t know each other. Such a team leader delegates and distributes work tasks to the team members for taking care of the patient. According to studies of health care staff should use structure communication; speak directly to each other. One communication model mentioned in the study was “closed loop”. Training, experience and awareness of how to communicate are essential skills for health care staff when working in an emergency situation.In the interviews the study participants gave examples when communication where lacking in a team. Structured communication between health care staff are seen as having major importance in reducing misinterpretations and mistakes leading to less safe patient health care.Conclusions: The experiences of the nurse anesthetists of communication are that communication among health care staff has a significant importance to be able to perform in the best of safe patient care. The nurse anesthetist experienced that communication among health care staff could approve in some of the emergency situations by for example exercise good communication structures.

Samtidigt som barnmorskeyrket kännetecknas av snabb teknisk utveckling, organisatoriska förändringar och rationalisering, är barnmorskors kommunikation, arbetstillfredsställelse samt kompetensutveckling viktiga faktorer för  barnmorskornas välmående och deras kvalitativa vårdarbete. Syftet med studien  var att beskriva kommunikationen mellan barnmorskor samt mellan barnmorskor   och annan vårdpersonal med avseende på dess inverkan på arbetsförhållanden.  Åtta barnmorskor intervjuades på två förlossnings- och BB avdelningar på ett sjukhus i sydvästra Sverige. En kvalitativ innehållsanalys med en induktiv ansats har använts. Datainsamlingen har skett genom semistrukturerad intervju. Vårt  resultat visade att Barnmorskorna har ett framgångsrikt arbetslag (workteam), där  de har ett starkt kollegialt stöd samt stöd av sina ledare i det dagliga arbetet. Ett  antal framgångsfaktorer för barnmorskornas välfungerande kommunikation  identifierades. Det öppna arbetsklimatet, den rådande arbetskulturen, ledningens  lyhördhet, engagemang och kompetens, barnmorskornas möjlighet till tid och rum för reflektion och återhämning samt deras förhållningssätt till sitt arbete och födande kvinnor räknas till de viktigaste faktorerna. Den väl fungerande kommunikationen inom arbetslaget och med annan vårdpersonal påverkar starkt barnmorskornas arbetstillfredsställelse. Arbetstillfredsställelse möjliggör barnmorskornas delaktighet och påverkansmöjlighet samt lärande och kompetensutveckling.  Arbetstillfredsställelses positiva återverkningar  kan bidra  till att barnmorskorna kan erbjuda ett kvalitativt bättre vårds- och omvårdnadsarbete  åt födande kvinnor.
