“…Data collection among 132 clinical teams and statistical analysis resulted in eight factors of teamwork of clinician teachers: task expertise, team expertise, decision-making, team leadership, feedback culture, team results, residents’ engagement and residents’ empowerment . A valid, reliable and feasible web-based evaluation instrument with ideal-formulated items and a 5-point Likert-scale is now available for clinical teachers to picture their strengths and weaknesses of teamwork in postgraduate medical training [ 9 ].…”

Teamwork among clinical teachers is essential for continuous improvement of postgraduate medical training. This thesis deconstructs teamwork in four studies, mostly based on qualitative research approaches and one study utilizes mixed methods. We found that clinical teachers do train residents, but individually rather than as a team. The programme directors as leaders focus more on teaching activities than on the collective ambition and mutual engagement of clinical teachers. During the teaching meetings, mistakes and conflicts are mainly discussed in a general sense and are often neither directed at the individual, nor result-oriented. A valid evaluation instrument is constructed to improve teamwork.

“…To collect feedback and achieve consensus on the SHARP items, the 19 focus group members and 14 members of the Board of the Dutch Association of Surgery were invited to participate in a modified Delphi round [27,28]. This procedure is intended to achieve consensus among experts about items generated by themselves in a systematic manner [27,29]. A modified Delphi implies that items were selected based on previous research and/or by expertsas in this study the research teamwho were not involved in the Delphi round themselves [17,21,28].…”

There is growing recognition that surgeons' non-technical skills are crucial in guaranteeing optimal quality and safety of patient care. However, insight in relevant attitudes underlying these behavioral skills is lacking. Hazardous attitudes potentially cause risky behavior, which can result in medical errors and adverse events. A questionnaire offering surgeons insight in their attitudinal profile is still missing and would be instrumental in risk reduction. Therefore, the aim of this study is to develop a prototype of a reliable and valid instrument to measure hazardous attitudes among surgeons. DESIGN To measure hazardous attitudes, a prototype of the Surgical Hazardous Attitudes Reflection Profile (SHARP) tool was designed using a mixed methods approach, consisting of (1) two focus group discussions, (2) a modified Delphi analysis and (3) a survey followed by (4) statistical analysis of the psychometric properties. Statistical analysis included exploratory factor analysis with varimax rotation, calculation of internal consistency reliability coefficients and inter-scale correlations. SETTING 14 hospitals across the Netherlands were recruited to guarantee demographic variety and the inclusion of academic, tertiary and general hospitals.PARTICIPANTS Nineteen experts participated in the two focus groups, and 19 in the modified Delphi study. In total, 302 surgeons (54.1%) completed the SHARP. RESULTSIn total, 302 surgeons (54.1%) completed the SHARP. Exploratory factor analysis resulted in six subscales measuring attitude towards (1) authority (α=0,78), (2) selfperformance (α=0,69), (3) performance feedback (α=0,61), (4) own fitness to perform (α=0,54), ( 5) uncertainty (α=0,51), and (6) planned procedures (α=0,48).CONCLUSIONS This study resulted in a prototype instrument identifying six potential hazardous attitudes in surgeons. Attitudes towards "authority" and "self-performance" can now be validly and reliably measured. Further research is required to optimize the prototype version of the instrument and could usefully explore the plausible relations between hazardous attitudes and clinical outcomes.

PURPOSE: Team-based care is the delivery of health services to an individual by at least two health care providers working collaboratively to achieve optimal care. Participants on the National Cancer Institute and the ASCO Teams in the Cancer Care Delivery Project have defined 13 key principles to serve as the foundation for a successful team; however, it is unclear whether there exist measures of these key principles. METHODS: A scoping literature search was conducted for each key principle on PubMed and Embase to identify existing measures for key principles. Articles of interest were exported to a citation manager, Sciwheel, cataloged by the key principle. Existing measures were extracted via a two-stage screening process, with an abstract review followed by a full-text review. RESULTS: Fifteen unique measures were identified, with items extrapolated for 12 of the 13 key principles. Measures were not exclusive and could represent more than one key principle. The number of measures varied per principle from zero to five, with Team Composition and Diversity yielding no existing measure. CONCLUSION: The long-term goal is to compile and edit these measures, to create a comprehensive measure to be used in various team-based oncology care settings, and to address areas for improvement, ultimately optimizing patient care.
