A Scoping Review of Interprofessional Simulation-Based Team Training Programs.

Interprofessional simulation-based team training (ISBTT) is promoted as a strategy to improve collaboration in healthcare, and the literature documents benefits on teamwork and patient safety. Teamwork training in healthcare is traditionally grounded in crisis resource management (CRM), but it is less clear whether ISBTT programs explicitly take the interprofessional context into account, with complex team dynamics related to hierarchy and power. This scoping review examined key aspects of published ISBTT programs including (1) underlying theoretical frameworks, (2) design features that support interprofessional learning, and (3) reported behavioral outcomes. Of 4854 titles identified, 58 articles met inclusion criteria. Most programs were based on CRM and related frameworks and measured CRM outcomes. Only 12 articles framed ISBTT as interprofessional education and none measured all interprofessional competencies. The ISBTT programs may be augmented by integrating theoretical concepts related to power and intergroup relations in their design to empower participants to navigate complex interprofessional dynamics.

Multidisciplinary teams and social science: a patient perspective.

Multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) are common in colorectal cancer and have been deemed important when providing care. Yet they take place outside of the patient, often with little consideration of the patient's views, goals and desires. In this paper specific examples from a patient perspective are integrated with the social science literature to provide an overview of areas of disconnect between MDT recommendations and the individual patient. The reasons for these disconnects are explored, including how MDTs relate to dyadic patient-clinician relationships, weak incorporation of patient-oriented outcomes in MDTs, poor integration of nonmedical patient information and the patient perspective and the impact of team dynamics and cognitive decision biases. Consideration of these issues should facilitate higher-quality MDT recommendations that are also more acceptable to patients.

Key structure and processes in esports teams: a systematic review

Why are there numerous cases of esports teams with superstar rosters that have failed? This question highlights that having top professional players with extraordinary individual skills may not be enough to achieve success. Since winning is a primary goal, it is crucial to understand all the variables that positively influence performance. While individual performance is critical to success as part of an esports team, team dynamics, structures, and processes also foster group functioning and performance. Thus, this research aims to conduct a systematic review of the team variables involved in the performance of esports teams. For this purpose, we conducted a literature search following the PRISMA guidelines in Science Direct, Web of Science, and PsycInfo databases since 2023. This search resulted in 371 articles, and after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of twenty-three scientific articles were analyzed. The results were grouped under seven main topics: 1) Organigram, 2) Stages of a team, 3) Team structure, 4) Team variables and processes, 5) Leadership, 6) Lack of experience in team integration, and 7) Holistic and integral perspective. To conclude, more research is needed to study the effect of team dynamics in esports, as well as to highlight the role of the psychologist in fostering group dynamics to improve team cohesion, coordination, motivation, performance, and synergy.

A phenomenological study on psychological resilience of aircraft rescue and fire fighting professionals

The primary objective of this study is to investigate the specific aspects of psychological resilience among ARFF professionals. Utilizing a qualitative approach and collecting data from 11 ARFF professionals using semi-structured interviews, this study delves into an exploration of factors that contribute to psychological resilience among Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) personnel stationed at State Airports, a group operating under emergency circumstances within the aviation industry. The investigation reveals three overarching themes: micro-level personal factors, meso-level organizational factors, and macro-level environmental/societal factors. Key findings reveal that micro-level personal factors, including personality traits and individual coping mechanisms, significantly influence ARFF professionals’ psychological resilience. Encompassing leadership quality and team dynamics, meso-level organizational factors have emerged as crucial contributors to resilience. Finally, macro-level environmental/societal factors, such as social support networks and the broader emergency preparedness context, have been identified as integral elements shaping psychological resilience. This qualitative approach, designed to capture the nuanced experiences and perceptions of ARFF professionals through a multi-level exploration of psychological resilience, extends its implications to the realms of aviation and emergency response. Micro-level considerations illuminate the significance of human resources-related decisions, such as recruitment and training, in fortifying ARFF professionals’ resilience. Meso-level considerations provide evidence for the impactful role of leadership and effective safety measures in promoting resilience. Macro-level considerations underscore the importance of environmental design and spillover effects, such as family support, in shaping resilience. An understanding of the factors that contribute to psychological resilience may be directly transferable to the creation of support mechanisms and targeted interventions and may also be directly transferable to assist emergency response teams in the aviation sector.

The Spatiality of the Body in Football

This research aims to address the critical issue of how the spatiality of the body intersects with football philosophy, with a specific focus on the context of training and match strategies. Traditionally, in football, coaching factors emerge within the training environment and are closely aligned with the intended game model. However, isolating these factors from the broader game model risks decontextualizing them, potentially undermining crucial aspects such as solidarity, team spirit, motivation, discipline, and rigor. Moreover, there is a pressing need to ensure that physical, technical, and psychological aspects are subordinated to tactical thinking and a relentless pursuit of victory during training sessions. This imposes a mindset of seriousness and rigor to effectively navigate the demands of complexity inherent in collective play. Drawing insights from philosophical discussions by Merleau-Ponty and Edgar Morin, as well as contributions from Manuel Sérgio and other scholars, this research seeks to deepen our understanding of the intricate relationships between players within a team. By exploring these dynamics, the study aims to shed light on how interactions among players shape team dynamics and influence individual players’ perceptions within the broader coaching context. Ultimately, the paper endeavours to contribute to a nuanced comprehension of the spatial and philosophical dimensions inherent in football training processes, thus offering valuable insights for both researchers and practitioners in the field.

Ensemble effort estimation for novice agile teams

CONTEXTTo establish a reliable development plan, developers should investigate the software being developed. One main challenge for developers is estimating the effort required to develop the software. Agile teams deliver the software in a set of iterations, with each iteration containing user stories. Therefore, unlike traditional development, software development effort estimation (SDEE) in agile should focus on the user stories level. An inaccurate estimation has detrimental consequences for software development such as poor resource allocation or the delivery of low-quality software. However, limited works have developed new estimation methods for agile projects compared to traditional ones. OBJECTIVESThis study introduces an ensemble model for estimating efforts in agile user stories development. It also creates a new dataset with 140 user stories, aiming for future research use. METHODSThis research followed the Design Science Research methodology (DSR). Six individual models were examined to build the ensemble model. The top three models — Extra Trees, K-Nearest Neighbors, and Multi-Layer Perceptron — were employed. The model's performance was assessed through Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Squared Error (MSE), and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE). Additionally, an experiment tested the model's efficacy on real software projects by novice teams. RESULTSThe results show that the ensemble model outperformed individual models, as it scored 0.78 in MAE, 1.62 in MSE, and 1.15 in RMSE. The experiment results showed that the model outperformed human estimation and proved its effectiveness in improving the accuracy of human estimation. CONCLUSIONThe findings demonstrate the model's success in refining effort estimates for novice Agile teams, leading to fewer errors. Practically, it means enhanced project planning and resource management. Additionally, developers' estimation confidence improved, indicating a positive impact on team dynamics and decision-making.

RunsGuard Framework: Context Aware Cricket Game Strategy for Field Placement and Score Containment

Sports analytics utilizes data analysis techniques and computational methods to gain insights, make informed decisions, and facilitate improvements in the performance of individuals and teams. Cricket is one of the most popular games and continues to evolve worldwide. The availability of ball-by-ball data demands in-depth investigation of player strategies, team dynamics, and the impact of contextual variables. Existing studies explored various aspects of cricket analytics, including detecting key events, predicting outcomes, and ranking teams. However, the literature lacks a comprehensive integrated framework that processes unstructured sports commentary, extracts actionable insights, conducts a thorough player analysis, and develops strategic plans while considering contextual factors. This work aims to propose a bowling and fielding strategy to contain a batsman. For this purpose, we developed a comprehensive context-aware framework that collects data, extracts insights from commentary, identifies player strengths and weaknesses, and proposes cricket bowling and fielding strategies according to the given context. To evaluate this work, we implemented a case study that simulated different scenarios, and our framework suggested bowling and fielding strategies. In these simulations, the proposed strategies consistently demonstrated a substantial reduction in the number of runs that were scored. On average, the framework reduces the batsman’s score rate by 33%. These findings underscore the practical effectiveness of research in optimizing field placement and effectively reducing scoring opportunities. Finally, by bridging the gap between data analytics and cricket game strategy, this methodology provides a competitive advantage to coaches, captains, and players. In the future, we aim to involve temporal patterns to understand the evolving behavior of players.

Understanding the unique and common perspectives of partners engaged in knowledge mobilization activities within pediatric pain management: a mixed methods study

BackgroundKnowledge mobilization (KM) is essential to close the longstanding evidence to practice gap in pediatric pain management. Engaging various partners (i.e., those with expertise in a given topic area) in KM is best practice; however, little is known about how different partners engage and collaborate on KM activities. This mixed-methods study aimed to understand what different KM partner groups (i.e., health professionals, researchers, and patient/caregiver partners) perceive as supporting KM activities within pediatric pain management.MethodsThis study used a convergent mixed-methods design. Ten partners from each of the three groups participated in interviews informed by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research, where they discussed what impacted KM activities within pediatric pain. Participants then rated and ranked select factors discussed in the interview. Transcripts were analyzed within each group using reflexive thematic analysis. Group-specific themes were then triangulated to identify convergence and divergence among groups. A matrix analysis was then conducted to generate meta-themes to describe overarching concepts. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.ResultsUnique themes were developed within each partner group and further analysis generated four meta-themes: (1) team dynamics; (2) role of leadership; (3) policy influence; (4) social influence. There was full agreement among groups on the meaning of team dynamics. While there was partial agreement on the role of leadership, groups differed on who they described as taking on leadership positions. There was also partial agreement on policy influence, where health professionals and researchers described different institutions as being responsible for providing funding support. Finally, there was partial agreement on social influence, where the role of networks was seen as serving distinct purposes to support KM. Quantitative analyses indicated that partner groups shared similar priorities (e.g., team relationships, communication quality) when it came to supporting KM in pediatric pain.ConclusionsWhile partners share many needs in common, there is also nuance in how they wish to be engaged in KM activities as well as the contexts in which they work. Strategies must be introduced to address these nuances to promote effective engagement in KM to increase the impact of evidence in pediatric pain.

Return to Play in the Professional Athlete.

The management of any injury in elite athletes poses unique challenges distinct from the general population because the goal is rapid recovery and return to play (RTP) while simultaneously managing residual symptoms and minimizing risk of reinjury. The time required for treatment, recovery, and return to peak performance can have consequences for both the athlete and his or her team: financial implications, psychological stressors, team dynamics, and future performance. RTP after an injury in the professional athlete requires a complex decision-making process with many stakeholders. Several factors influence this decision, not the least of which is the type and mechanism of injury. This article provides an overview of the RTP process including nonmedical factors that may influence this decision, common injuries seen in professional athletes, injury patterns particular to certain popular sports, and imaging guidelines for such injuries.

Team functioning in Neurorehabilitation: a mixed methods study

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to enhance understanding of team functioning in a neurorehabilitation team by identifying the factors that impede and facilitate effective interprofessional team collaboration. We focused on team identification, psychological safety, and team learning, and conducted the research at a neurorehabilitation center treating young patients with severe acquired brain injury in the Netherlands. A mixed-methods approach was employed, integrating quantitative data from questionnaires (N = 40) with qualitative insights from a focus group (n = 6) and in-depth interviews (n = 5) to provide a comprehensive perspective on team dynamics. Findings revealed strong team identification among participants, denoting a shared sense of belonging and commitment. However, limited psychological safety was observed, which negatively affected constructive conflict and team learning. Qualitative analysis further identified deficiencies in shared mental models, especially in shared decision-making and integrated care. These results highlight the crucial role of psychological safety in team learning and the development of shared mental models in neurorehabilitation settings. Although specific to neurorehabilitation, the insights gained may be applicable to enhancing team collaboration in various healthcare environments. The study forms a basis for future research to investigate the impact of improvements in team functioning on patient outcomes in similar settings.

Unlocking team excellence: The transformative power of work engagement, career commitment, and role innovation Amidst conflict

Organizations increasingly recognize the importance of work engagement and career commitment. Yet, how these factors operate within teams remains unexplored in the current literature. This study aims to uncover how conflict and innovation influence engagement and career commitment in teams. We conducted a two-wave survey involving 196 managers and 873 subordinates from Sri Lankan manufacturing firms. As expected, higher work engagement is linked to greater career commitment and role innovation. Interestingly, role innovation was more pronounced during elevated task conflict. While task conflict enhanced the connection between work engagement and role innovation, it also positively impacted career commitment. Thus, the findings confirm role innovation's mediating role between employee engagement and career commitment and reveal task and relationship conflict as moderators in this relationship. This research expands on the Broaden and Build theory by emphasizing the greater importance of task conflict intensity in teams than previously recognized. Additionally, the study highlights that low conflict levels detrimentally affect teams, offering fresh insights for managerial considerations. By enhancing our understanding of team dynamics, this study contributes to improved organizational efficiency and positive outcomes.

Understanding Team Dynamics and Culture of Safety using Video Reflexive Ethnography during Real-Time Emergent Intubation.

Endotracheal intubation is the third most common bedside procedure in U.S. hospitals. In over 40% of intubations preventable complications attributable to human factors occur. A better understanding of team dynamics during intubation may improve patient safety. To explore team dynamics and safety-related actions during emergent endotracheal intubations in the emergency department (ED) and intensive care unit (ICU), and to engage members of the care team in reflection for process improvement through a novel video-based team debriefing technique. Video-reflexive ethnography involves in-situ video-recording and reflexive discussions with practitioners to scrutinize behaviors and to identify opportunities for improvement. In this study, real-time intubations were recorded in the ED and ICU at Mayo Clinic Rochester and facilitated video-reflexive sessions were conducted with the multidisciplinary procedural teams. Themes about team dynamics and safety-related action were identified inductively from transcriptions of recorded sessions. Between December 2022 and January 2023, eight video-reflexive sessions were conducted with a total of 78 participants. Multidisciplinary members included nurses (n=23), respiratory therapists (n=16), pharmacists (n=7), advanced practitioners (n=5), and physicians (n=26). Video-reflexive discussions identified major safety gaps and proposed several solutions related to the use of a multidisciplinary intubation checklist, standardized communication and team positioning, developing a culture of safety, and routinely debriefing after the procedure. The findings of this study may inform the development of a team supervision model for emergent endotracheal intubations. This approach could integrate key components such as a multidisciplinary intubation checklist, standardized communication and team positioning, a culture of safety, and debriefing as part of the procedure itself.

Teamwork matters: The association between nontechnical skills and cardiac arrest in trauma patients presenting with hypotension

BackgroundThe impact of trauma team dynamics on outcomes in injured patients is not completely understood. We sought to evaluate the association between trauma team function, as measured by a modified Trauma Non-Technical Skills assessment, and cardiac arrest in hypotensive trauma patients. We hypothesized that better team function is associated with a decreased probability of developing cardiac arrest. MethodsTrauma video review was used to collect data from resuscitations of adult hypotensive trauma patients at 19 centers. Hypotension at emergency department presentation was defined as an initial systolic blood pressure <90 mm Hg or an initial systolic blood pressure ≥90 mm Hg followed by a systolic blood pressure <90 mm Hg within the first 5 minutes. Team dynamics were scored using a modified Trauma Non-Technical Skills assessment composed of 5 domains with combined scores ranging from 5 (best) to 15 (worst). Scores were compared between cardiac arrest/noncardiac arrest cases in the trauma bay. Logistic regression was used to evaluate the independent association between the Trauma Non-Technical Skills assessment and cardiac arrest. ResultsA total of 430 patients were included (median age 43 years [interquartile range: 29–61]; 71.8% male; 36% penetrating mechanism; median Injury Severity Score 20 [10–33]; 11% experienced cardiac arrest in trauma bay). The median total Trauma Non-Technical Skills assessment score was 7 (6–9), higher in patients who experienced cardiac arrest in the trauma bay (9 [6–10] vs 7 [6–9]; P = .016). This association persisted after controlling for age, sex, mechanism, injury severity, initial systolic blood pressure, and initial Glasgow Coma Scale score (adjusted odds ratio: 1.28; 95% confidence interval:1.11–1.48; P < .001), indicating a ∼3% higher predicted probability of cardiac arrest per Trauma Non-Technical Skills point. ConclusionBetter team function is independently associated with a decreased probability of cardiac arrest in trauma patients presenting with hypotension. This suggests that trauma team training may improve outcomes in peri-arrest patients.
