“…In fact, healthcare professionals, must be able to manage their emotions in difficult situations involving both patients and parents. 5,6 Soft skills are fundamentally based on the following: 7,8 • Interpersonal skills: active listening, good relationships, being useful, conflict resolution and mediation, negotiation, persuasion and influencing skills, team-working, problem solving and decision-making. • Organizational skills: time management, the ability to complete activities multitask, the ability to achieve goals and follow guidelines.…”

Background: Healthcare rehabilitator skills can be grouped into hard and soft skills. Hard skills are specific and teachable, which can be defined and measured, while soft skills are less tangible and more difficult to quantify. The aim of this study is to investigate the level of knowledge of soft skills among Italian healthcare rehabilitators, and how they were acquired.Design and Methods: Two hundred healthcare rehabilitators, who worked in Southern Italy were enrolled from September 1st to October 31st 2017, and interviewed with Computer-Assisted-Web-Interview (CAWI) software, to assess their level of soft skills.Results: Healthcare rehabilitators showed significant satisfaction with university education (59.5%), particularly for theoretical training (64%), while significant dissatisfaction was found for technical-practical training (63.5%), training in patients’ family management (66.5%) and stages participation to improve soft skills (59%). Dissatisfied rehabilitators were found for university education of soft skills (59%), particularly for interpersonal relationships with patients family (66.5%) and technical-practical train in(63.5%). Women considered the training courses about soft skills acquisition more useful than men (43.8%).Conclusions: Healthcare rehabilitator training is lacking in the teaching of both technical-practical and soft skills. It is striking that in a healthcare profession like that of the rehabilitator, where practical and empathic skills are fundamental in the relationship with the patients, such skills are not treated in analogously with theoretical training.

“…Despite the increasing interest and demand for T-shaped engineers, there are not enough studies in the literature. Although there are studies investigating the skills that T-shaped engineers should acquire for 21st-century conditions [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49], there are no studies evaluating the engineers' skills within the framework of the T-shaped engineer. In this study, a new approach is proposed to solve multi-person and multi-attribute evaluation problems in an intuitionistic fuzzy environment for a new application area related to personnel selection.…”

In this paper, a new approach is proposed to solve multi-person and multi-attribute evaluation problems under an intuitionistic fuzzy environment. The proposed evaluation approach is mainly grounded on the integration of the score function and aggregation operator for intuitionistic fuzzy sets. To illustrate the application of the novel approach, a numerical example for evaluating engineers according to attributes of T-shaped engineers is given. The novelty of this study is that it defines T-shaped engineer selection as a multiattribute evaluation problem in the literature for the first time. In addition, it proposes an integrated intuitionistic fuzzy evaluation approach in which the candidates are evaluated at both technical (hard) skills and non-technical (soft) skills. This study contributes to the literature as it provides a novel insight into the theoretical ground of the personnel selection problem.
