Our objective was to examine the influence of silence on team action in the operating room.
We conducted a constructed grounded theory study with semi-structured interviews with 25 interprofessional surgical team members. Using a framework of silence as communication and performance, transcripts were iteratively team-coded to develop themes and a conceptual model.
OR silence is expressed verbally and nonverbally. Two contexts of silence were identified: homogenous as collective action, and disparate, as disengagement. Complex and dynamic, two primary themes emerged, Power that often shuts down communication, and Focus during critical moments. Five additional sub-themes included critical moments, respect, self-reflection, personal preference, and, bad mood.
OR silence is not an absence of communication and requires a response. Whether homogenous through cohesiveness, or desperate as a solitary act, OR silence is a call to action. Examining silence as a part discourse has important implications on surgical team function.
我们的目的是研究手术室中沉默对团队行动的影响。
我们进行了一项构建性 grounded theory 研究,对 25 名跨专业手术团队成员进行了半结构化访谈。使用沉默作为沟通和绩效的框架,对转录本进行了迭代团队编码,以开发主题和概念模型。
手术室中的沉默是通过言语和非言语表达的。确定了两种沉默的情境:同质的沉默是集体行动,而异质的沉默是脱离。复杂而动态的环境下,出现了两个主要主题:权力常常会阻碍沟通,以及在关键时刻集中注意力。另外五个子主题包括关键时刻、尊重、自我反思、个人偏好和不良情绪。
手术室中的沉默并不是没有沟通,而是需要回应。无论是通过凝聚力形成的同质沉默,还是作为孤独行为的绝望沉默,手术室中的沉默都是一种行动的呼吁。将沉默作为一种话语来研究对手术团队的功能有重要意义。
