New physicians need to master non-technical skills (NTS), as high levels of NTS have been shown to increase patient safety. It has also been shown that NTS can be improved through training. This study aimed to establish the necessary NTS for Norwegian medical students to create a tool for formative and summative assessments.
Focus group interviews were conducted with colleagues and patients of newly graduated physicians. Interviews were then analyzed using card sort methods, and the identified NTS were used to establish a framework. Focus groups commented on a prototype of an NTS assessment tool. Finally, we conducted a search of existing tools and literature. The final tool was developed based on the combined inputs.
We created Norwegian medical students' non-technical skills (NorMS-NTS) assessment tool containing four main categories; together comprising 13 elements and a rating scale for the NTS of the person observed.
The NorMS-NTS represents a purpose-made tool for assessing newly graduated physicians' NTS. It is similar to existing assessment tools but based on domain-specific user perspectives obtained through focus group interviews and feedback, integrated with results from a literature search, and with consideration of existing NTS tools.
新医生需要掌握非技术技能（NTS），因为高水平的 NTS 已被证明可以提高患者安全性。此外，还已经证明可以通过培训来提高 NTS。本研究旨在确定挪威医学生所需的必要 NTS，以创建用于形成性和总结性评估的工具。
与新毕业医生的同事和患者进行焦点小组访谈。然后使用卡片分类方法对访谈进行分析，并使用确定的 NTS 来建立框架。焦点小组对 NTS 评估工具的原型发表了评论。最后，我们对现有工具和文献进行了搜索。最终工具是基于综合输入开发的。
我们创建了挪威医学生的非技术技能（NorMS-NTS）评估工具，其中包含四个主要类别；总共包含 13 个要素和用于观察对象的 NTS 的评分量表。
NorMS-NTS 是一种专门用于评估新毕业医生 NTS 的工具。它类似于现有的评估工具，但基于通过焦点小组访谈和反馈获得的特定于域的用户视角，与文献搜索的结果相结合，并考虑了现有的 NTS 工具。
