“…Another related issue concerns the uncertainly that can arise when feedback is posted publicly as an overall performance score. For example, a posted score of 50% safe can suggest either that all employees are moderately safe or that only one half of workers consistently performed the safe behavior (Alavosius & Sulzer-Azaroff, 1986;McCann & Sulzer-Azaroff, 1996). Although global feedback can be effective under some situations (Williams & Geller, 2000), additional research is needed to understand the appropriate conditions under which global and specific feedback can be maximally effective.…”

“…Las listas de verificación tienen su origen en el conductismo. Un ejemplo de este fundamento está en un estudio de retroalimentación del rendimiento sobre la seguridad de elevación y traslado de clientes, donde el análisis de la tarea de los procedimientos de elevación y traslado fue convertido en una lista de verificación (Alavosius y Sulzer-Azaroff, 1986). Se observó al personal y se evaluaron las listas de verificación.…”

¿Cómo aconteció? ¿Cómo fue posible que la atención temprana para niños muy pequeños con discapacidades se distanciara tanto de la familia, se transformara en algo tan clínico y tan alejado de la ciencia? En este artículo, abogo por el uso de un enfoque centrado en la familia para la atención temprana, basado en la literatura científica relativa el tema. Describo algunas prácticas específicas para implementar este enfoque como asimismo algunos instrumentos para determinar la fidelidad con las que éstas se llevan a cabo. Finalmente, analizo cómo este campo de estudio se está transformando mediante una asociación entre la oportunidad (Modelo Basado en Rutinas) y un cambio de mentalidad (Metanoia).Descriptores: Atención temprana, Prácticas centradas en la familia, Modelo basado en rutinas, Entrevista basada en rutinas, Entornos naturales, Asesoramiento familiar.How did it happen? How did early intervention for young children with disabilities become so divorced from the family, so clinical, and so removed from science? In this article, I argue for a family-centered approach to early intervention, based on the literature. I describe some specific practices for implementing this approach as well as some instruments to measure the fidelity with which the practices are used. Finally, I discuss how the field is being transformed by a partnership between opportunity (the Routines-Based Model) and a changing mindset (Metanoia).

“…Likewise, Ludwig and Geller (2000) outlined and partially tested 26 combinations of behavior change strategies that were used to influence safety-related behaviors among occupational drivers. These include techniques such as verbal instructions (Alavosius&Sulzer-Azaroff, 1990;Matheson, Danner, Grant,&Mooney, 1993), awareness training (Geller, Eason, Phillips,& Pierson, 1980), reminder posters (Komaki, Barwick, & Scott, 1978;Thyer, Geller, Williams, & Purcell, 1987), feedback (Alavosius & Sulzer-Azaroff, 1986;Austin, Kessler, Riccobono, & Bailey, 1996;Chhokar & Wallin, 1984;DeVries, Burnette, & Redmon, 1991), reinforcers (Austin et al, 1996), and goal setting (Cooper, Phillips, Sutherland, & Makin, 1994;Ludwig & Geller, 1997).…”

Universal Precautions (UPs), procedures to reduce the likelihood of accidental exposure to blood-borne pathogens, were observed among seven Certified Nurse Anesthetists and one anesthesia technician during intravenous line procedures. After six weeks of base-line measures, nurses participated in training, goal setting, and feedback targeting hand sanitizing practices. Three weeks later immediate needle disposal was targeted. Hand sanitizing behaviors increased from a group baseline percentage of 24% to 65% during the intervention, and 52% during withdrawal. No significant increases in immediate needle disposal were found. Participants disposed of needles immediately 53% of the time during baseline, 58% during the intervention phase, and 45% during withdrawal. Non-targeted UP behaviors also increased as a result of the intervention: Recapping needles with on-hand increased from 45% during baseline to 61% during the intervention phases; removing gloves from inside out increased from 61% to 93%; and wearing gloves when discarding waste increased from 31% to 52%. Auxiliary behaviors such as nurse and patient interactions remained consistently high throughout the study. ARTICLEHealth care workers, including physicians, nurses, emergency medical personnel, operating room personnel, laundry workers, and lab technicians, are routinely at risk for exposure to blood-borne pathogens (BBPs). BBPs are infectious microorganisms present in human blood that can be fatal to infected persons (Occupational Safety and Health Administration, 1999). BBPs include Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Hepatitis B Virus (HBV). There is an estimated 0.3% risk of infection with HIV after percutaneous exposure (often through accidental needle stabs through the skin) to HIV-contaminated blood (Gershon, Vlahov, Felknor, Vesley, Johnson, Delclos, & Murphy, 1995) although this risk has been estimated as high as .5% (Linn, Kahn,&Leake, 1990).The risk of contracting Hepatitis B after exposure is 30% and Hepatitis C (HCV) is 6 to 10% (Gershon et al., 1995). In addition to HIV, HBV and HCV, 20 other pathogens may be transmitted through exposure to blood-borne pathogens (Gershon, Karkashian, & Felknor, 1994).As of 1998, the Centers for Disease Control (n.d.) documented a total of 54 cases of health care employees in the United States who had acquired HIV infection at work. As many as 134 additional cases may have occurred but could not be directly linked to an occupational exposure incident.The Exposure Prevention Information Network (EPINet; reported 590,164 annual percutaneous injuries for health care workers in hospital and non-hospital settings (Perry, 2000). Additionally, Hersey and Martin (1994) reported data on percutaneous injuries among health care workers in 1991. Seven percent of exposures occurred when needles had been set down while completing a procedure and 6% occurred while inserting an intravenous or peripheral line. Nurses are an especially at-risk group. In one year in the United States, there were 13 documented occ...
