“…These findings are similar to the original HSCS study conducted by Gershon and colleagues in 2000 23) , where 94% reported that disposable gloves were readily available, 95% agreed that a health and safety manual was available and 85% agreed that protection from HIV was a high priority with management. The internal consistency of our Japanese HSCS and psychosocial factor questions was demonstrated with high Cronbach's alpha scores; scores that were even higher than some previous research using different safety cli- mate scales in health care 38) . Cronbach's alpha scores for the original English-language version of the HSCS by Gershon and colleagues were between 0.71 and 0.84 23) .…”

“…The second section assessed teamwork and safety climate using the teamwork and safety domains of the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ), 19 which is based on previous research in aviation and medicine and has been validated in clinical settings. 20,21 The final section of the survey assessed nurses' perceptions of whether SIDR improved efficiency of communication, collaboration among team members, and patient care using a 5-point Likert scale (1 ¼ strongly disagree; 2 ¼ disagree; 3 ¼ neutral; 4 ¼ agree; 5 ¼ strongly agree).…”

BACKGROUND:Effective collaboration and teamwork is essential in providing safe and effective care. Research reveals deficiencies in teamwork on medical units involving hospitalists.OBJECTIVE:The aim of this study was to assess the impact of an intervention, Structured Inter‐Disciplinary Rounds (SIDR), on nurses' ratings of collaboration and teamwork.METHODS:The study was a controlled trial involving an intervention and control hospitalist unit. The intervention, SIDR, combined a structured format for communication with a forum for regular interdisciplinary meetings. We asked nurses to rate the quality of communication and collaboration with hospitalists using a 5‐point ordinal scale. We also assessed teamwork and safety climate using a validated instrument. Multivariable regression analyses were used to assess the impact on length of stay (LOS) and cost using both a concurrent and historic control.RESULTS:A total of 49 of 58 (84%) nurses completed surveys. A larger percentage of nurses rated the quality of communication and collaboration with hospitalists as high or very high on the intervention unit compared to the control unit (80% vs. 54%; P = 0.05). Nurses also rated the teamwork and safety climate significantly higher on the intervention unit (P = 0.008 and P = 0.03 for teamwork and safety climate, respectively). Multivariable analyses demonstrated no difference in the adjusted LOS and an inconsistent effect on cost.CONCLUSIONS:SIDR had a positive effect on nurses' ratings of collaboration and teamwork on a hospitalist unit, yet no impact on LOS and cost. Further study is required to assess the impact of SIDR on patient safety measures. Journal of Hospital Medicine 2010. © 2010 Society of Hospital Medicine.

“…These have been shown to have construct validity and reliability. 96 Multilevel analysis of survey responses has expanded the range of demographic and role-related factors shown to influence organisational safety climate scores.…”

“…These teamwork and safety climate scales, developed in the USA and benchmarked more widely, 96 address matters such as the coordination of different professional teams' contributions to care, speaking up, questioning, resolving conflict, responding to errors and personal feelings about the safety of care. In recent years these matters have become basic tenets of quality improvement initiatives and a strong focus within initial professional education and CPD for health-care staff.…”

HTA NIHR Health Technology Assessment programmeThe Health Technology Assessment (HTA) programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care. The research findings from the HTA programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC).
