“…Another author conducted an ethnographic analysis of the complexity and opacity of the ancillary tasks of sterilization [20], finding degrees of general invisibility of the whole service, in our study this perception is similar, finding that the exchange with other jobs is rare and having degrees of invisibility.…”

Assessing all the factors relating to working conditions that may impact on health and quality of life at work for Auxiliary sterilization. We performed a cross-sectional analytical study, we applied the CVT-GOHISALO instrument, which measures quality of life at work and the overall evaluation method LEST ergonomic working conditions for the analysis of the data was used the statistical program SPSS 18 software and online work ergonomics of the Polytechnic University of Valencia. In dimension institutional support for work, sterilization assistants, displayed no opportunities for advancement in position or role in the security dimension at work, feel injustice in promotion opportunities within the institution, in the integration dimension to the job, are motivated to overcome challenges and very willing to be leaders in job satisfaction dimension, are usually committed to the mission of the institution, in the dimension of being achieved through work, they risk physical health and mental health, personal development dimension, are optimistic and friendly service, in free time management dimension, fully comply with your schedule and the tasks without compromising their personal and social commitments. The working conditions in terms of posture, handling surgical equipment and tools presents imminent risk of fatigue. The sterilization assistants show a series of subjective perceptions that reflect the reality of their work environment, which should lead to the leadership in decision making towards improving work processes and thus reduce the risk factors that are evident in this study, which may cause physical and mental illness if not corrected early.

“…The SDC perspective has been applied to study several settings of work and/or for a better understanding of the role of some elements of the cognitive system, such as research laboratories (Nersessian, Kurz-Milcke, Newsletter, & Davies, 2003), scientific practice (Giere & Moffat, 2003), the memory systems of telephone hotline groups (Ackerman & Halverson, 2004), how internal and external representations 'couple with' one another rather than simply 'interacting' (Osbeck & Nersessian, 2005), the genesis and use of a work artifact in air traffic control (Halverson & Ackerman, 2008), the complexity and opacity of administrative work and sterilization work in a hospital (Lozares, Verd, Barranco, Moreno, & Massó, 2013), the types of cognitive artifacts (Heersmink, 2013), and the expert and creative teamwork of dancers (Muntanyola-Saura, 2014).…”

The work process setting and situational contexts based on socially distributed cognition: an interactive, cognitive and social proposal of analysis

To carry out an ethnographic study on the work process in the sterilization unit of a hospital in Catalonia (Spain), we found the socially distributed cognition approaches of Hutchins and Kirsh useful. However, these approaches lack sufficient explanation on three important issues: (a) the pragmatic criteria for identifying and delimiting a relevant unit of analysis and therefore the setting and contexts of the work process; (b) the mechanisms and results of reciprocal influences between these levels of analysis; and (c) the relation between these levels. Therefore, we added several new elements to these approaches, in addition to Layder's model of contexts with some important modifications, with the aim of offering an interactive, cognitive and social proposal of analysis that clarifies these three issues, allowing a more exhaustive and broader empirical analysis that captures better the ‘social’ dimension embedded in the work processes.

Digital Gender‐Based violence (DGBV) is a social problem affecting overproportionally younger people, especially women and LGTB. Training programmes to combat DGBV are recommended but we lack evidence‐based evaluation of them. We evaluate a series of trainings at university for all participants (N = 190), taking into account gender and sexual orientation. A multimethod approach is used. Training is assessed with a pre−/post‐test survey on DGBV concerning content and skills, including items and open boxes on overall satisfaction. We also include observations of the workshop and students' reflections. We measure learning outcomes and satisfaction for the whole sample, as well as differences for gender and sexual orientation. Previous knowledge confirms the need for training programmes on DGBV. The difference between previous and subsequent knowledge proves that short training programmes on DGBV can improve students' knowledge of DGBV. We could not find differences between genders, but there are some differences based on sexual orientation.
