Use of Human Patient Simulation and Validation of the Team Situation Awareness Global Assessment Technique (TSAGAT): A Multidisciplinary Team Assessment Tool in Trauma Education

Effect of monitor positioning on visual attention and situation awareness during neonatal resuscitation: a randomised simulation study

“…While indirect observational scales such as team emergency assessment measure (TEAM) and anaesthetic non-technical skills (ANTS) have been used to quantify SA, SAGAT assesses SA through participant questioning, thereby allowing a more detailed and direct measure of SA than through observation alone 8. SAGAT has been adapted for use in simulated medical scenarios, although it has not been used for neonatal resuscitation 9–12…”

Situational awareness: a tacit yet viable concept

“…Despite the risk that an umbrella concept might be hard to study and measure, SA has shown high construct validity. 5 For example, we could find a correlation between SA scores and experience levels, 7 implying that the concept is robust enough to reflect expected differences. Viewing it as an umbrella concept with high construct validity makes the SA concept very useful and viable.…”

“…Malgré le risque qu'un concept générique soit difficile à étudier et à mesurer, la conscience situationnelle a démontré une validité de construit élevée. 5 Par exemple, nous pourrions trouver une corrélation entre les scores de conscience situationnelle et les niveaux d'expérience, 7 ce qui suggère que le concept est suffisamment robuste pour refléter les différences attendues. En l'imaginant comme un concept générique disposant d'une grande validité de construit, le concept de conscience situationnelle devient alors très utile et viable.…”

Exploring anesthesiologists’ understanding of situational awareness: a qualitative study

“…1 Other strategies for assessing SA include variations of the Situation Awareness Global Assessment Technique (SAGAT), Situation Awareness Rating Technique, and the Situation Present Assessment Method, mostly within the context of simulation. 17,[28][29][30][31][32] The SAGAT technique, developed by Endsley et al, uses pauses to assess participants' SA about a scenario in real time (e.g., Level 1: What is the last recorded blood pressure (BP)? Level 2: What is the likely cause of that BP?…”

“…33 The SAGAT has also been modified to assess SA within a team environment (TSAGAT). 30 Many questions remain despite the acknowledged importance of SA as documented in reviews and research. Our study was designed to address the following research questions: 34 A constructivist approach enables researchers to examine ''the ways in which events, realities, meanings, experiences and so on are the effects of a range of discourses operating within society.''…”
