This prospective descriptive study aimed to test the validity and feasibility of the Team Emergency Assessment Measure (TEAM™) for assessing real-world medical emergency teams' non-technical skills. Second, the present study aimed to explore the instrument's contribution to practice regarding teamwork and learning outcomes.
Registered nurses (RNs) and medical staff (n = 104) in two hospital EDs in rural Victoria, Australia, participated. Over a 10 month period, the (TEAM™) instrument was completed by multiple clinicians at medical emergency episodes.
In 80 real-world medical emergency team resuscitation episodes (283 clinician assessments), non-technical skills ratings averaged 89% per episode (39 of a possible 44 points). Twenty-one episodes were rated in the lowest quartile (i.e. ≤37 points out of 44). Ratings differed by discipline, with significantly higher scores given by medical raters (mean: 41.1 ± 4.4) than RNs (38.7 ± 5.4) (P = 0.001). This difference occurred in the Leadership domain. The tool was reliable with Cronbach's alpha 0.78, high uni-dimensional validity and mean inter-item correlation of 0.45. Concurrent validity was confirmed by strong correlation between TEAM™ score and the awarded Global Rating (P < 0.001), with 38.4% of shared variance. RNs praised the instrument as it initiated staff reflection and debriefing discussions around performance improvement.
Non-technical skills of medical emergency teams are known to often be suboptimal; however, average ratings of 89% were achieved in this real-world study. TEAM™ is a valid, reliable and easy to use tool, for both training and clinical settings, with benefits for team performance when used as an assessment and/or debriefing tool.
本前瞻性描述性研究旨在检验团队应急评估量表(TEAM™)评估现实世界中医疗应急团队非技术技能的有效性和可行性。其次,本研究旨在探讨该工具在团队协作和学习成果方面对实践的贡献。
澳大利亚维多利亚州农村地区两家医院急诊科的注册护士(RN)和医务人员(n = 104)参与了研究。在10个月的时间里,多名临床医生在医疗紧急事件中完成了(TEAM™)量表。
在80次现实世界中的医疗应急团队复苏事件(283次临床医生评估)中,非技术技能评分平均每次事件为89%(满分44分中的39分)。21次事件被评为最低四分位数(即44分中≤37分)。评分因学科而异,医生评分者给出的分数(平均:41.1±4.4)显著高于注册护士(38.7±5.4)(P = 0.001)。这种差异出现在领导领域。该工具具有可靠性,Cronbach's alpha为0.78,具有较高的单维度效度,平均项目间相关性为0.45。TEAM™得分与授予的总体评分之间的强相关性(P < 0.001)证实了同时效度,共享方差为38.4%。注册护士称赞该工具,因为它引发了员工围绕绩效改进的反思和汇报讨论。
已知医疗应急团队的非技术技能往往不理想;然而,在这项现实世界研究中平均评分达到了89%。TEAM™是一种有效、可靠且易于使用的工具,适用于培训和临床环境,用作评估和/或汇报工具时对团队绩效有益。
