Team strategies and tools to enhance performance and patient safety training: The effect of training on both nursing staff perceptions regarding physician behaviors and patient satisfaction scores in the ED
Abstract:Introduction: Background: Program used to enhance teamwork and communication among health professionals to improve patient safety and employee satisfaction. Objective: We hypothesized that Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety (TeamSTEPPS) training would improve communication between physicians and nurses and between physicians and their patients and family members, and that it would improve patient perceptions of emergency department teamwork.Methods: Design: Before and after pro… Show more
“…Furthermore, Chang and Mark (2011) noted that good learning environments that include teamwork education help reduce nursing-related adverse events. Therefore, interprofessional teamwork training programs should be adapted accordingly (Brand et al, 2015).…”
This study aims to examine the associations between nurses’ perceptions of patient safety culture, patient safety competency, and adverse events. Using convenience sampling, we conducted a cross-sectional study from February to May 2018 in two university hospitals. Furthermore, we performed multiple logistic regression to examine associations between patient safety culture, patient safety competency, and adverse events. Higher mean scores for “communication openness” in patient safety culture were significantly correlated with lower rates for pressure ulcers and falls; furthermore, higher mean scores for “working in teams with other health professionals” in patient safety competency were significantly correlated with reductions in ventilator-associated pneumonia. We recommend that a well-structured hospital culture emphasizing patient safety and continuation of in-service education programs for nurses to provide high-quality, clinically safe care is required. Moreover, further research is required to identify interventions to improve patient safety culture and competency and reduce the occurrence of adverse events.

“…However, there is increasing recognition that medical errors can be attributed to deficiencies in non‐technical skills (NTS), such as teamwork and communication . Training using simulation approaches are common to enhance teamwork skills of leadership, teamwork, situation awareness and decision‐making (Box 1). …”
Non-technical skills of medical emergency teams are known to often be suboptimal; however, average ratings of 89% were achieved in this real-world study. TEAM™ is a valid, reliable and easy to use tool, for both training and clinical settings, with benefits for team performance when used as an assessment and/or debriefing tool.
“…İletişim hataları, tıbbi hatalar içinde en sık rastlanan ancak en az dikkat edilen hatalardır. Etkin iletişimin sağlanamaması ilaç hatalarına, tedavideki gecikmelere ve hatta yanlışlıkla ölüme yol açabilmektedir (22,41). Son yıllarda yapılmış bir çalışmada, hastanede meydana gelen tıbbi hataların %70-80'inin kişilerarası iletişim sorunlarından kaynaklandığı belirtilmiştir (41).…”

Health institutions are different places for the paediatric patients and they provide an environment which restrains them from their everyday lives and roles for a certain time. The researchers report that the children need a care and treatment different than adults. Children are not miniature adults. In comparison to adults, they face more serious consequences when they are exposed to a medical faults or damage due to their physical, cognitive, emotional and anatomical incapability. In this regard, paediatric clinics must put more efforts regarding the safety of the patients. Reducing or preventing the medical faults and being aware of the reasons of faults will improve the labour force, quality of life and will decrease the number of losses. This compiled article has been written to increase the knowledge and awareness on commonly encountered problems about patient safety for nurses who working at the paediatric clinics.
