This article briefly introduces the concept of psychological safety as primarily conceptualised by Amy C. Edmondson. With Edmondson it is argued that psychological safety clearly has a positive and lasting impact on organisational culture. In a psychologically safe organisation employees are encouraged to actively participate in the design of work processes to overcome the so-called "epidemic of silence". In practice, this is primarily achieved by destigmatising mistakes and failure. Instead of promoting a culture of blaming, psychologically safe organisations perceive mistakes and failure as opportunities for organisational learning experiences. As a result, a positive culture of mistakes is created which in the end contributes to the continuous development of the organisation and its people. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Adverse events in patient care are often caused by failures in teamwork. Simulation training and its debriefing can contribute to improving teamwork and thus patient care. When conducting debriefings, there are several design factors that can potentially influence learning outcomes. This study examines the use of a cognitive aid to help structure the content of debriefings and compares it with debriefings that are merely roughly structured. In addition, the feasibility of the debriefing, the satisfaction of the participants and their teamwork during the training are investigated. Methods: In a simulated night shift, seven teams of four to five medical students (n=32) took part in six cases that simulated common situations in an emergency medicine environment and received a debriefing on their teamwork after each case, either in the intervention condition with the help of the TeamTAG tool – a cognitive aid focusing on selected teamwork principles from Crisis Resource Management (CRM) – or in the control condition without it. The facilitators noted the topics of the debriefings and rated their experience of conducting them; the participants indicated their satisfaction with the debriefings, as well as their assessment of the importance of CRM principles. In addition, the quality of teamwork was assessed using the Team Emergency Assessment Measure (TEAM). Results: The analysis showed no difference in the number of teamwork principles discussed between the control and intervention conditions, but topics were repeated more frequently in the control group. The TeamTAG guideline was focused on and implemented by the tutors, who discussed the CRM principles included in the TeamTAG more consistently than in the control condition. The tutors in both conditions were satisfied with the implementation, and the use of TeamTAG facilitated time management. There were no differences in participants' satisfaction, their assessment of the importance of the teamwork principles, or the quality of teamwork between conditions. Conclusion: The use of a cognitive aid can help to direct the focus on certain topics or learning objectives and facilitate time management through pre-structuring; however, a difference in learning outcomes (in terms of the quality of teamwork) could not be identified. Besides the influence of a certain structure or script, a strong influence from the individual guiding the debriefing is likely. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

COVID-19 has turned the 2020 spring semester upside down. Three days before the start of the block week of the "Teamwork" module, the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) announced the ban on live interaction, which made it impossible to conduct five days of practice in the simulation centre of the University Hospital of Zurich. But how can the teaching of all the learning objectives necessary for medical training be guaranteed during an exceptional situation with constantly changing conditions? In the case of the BSc Human Medicine at ETH Zurich (ETHZ), the answer is: Hybrid teaching. The field report "COVID-19 as a chance for hybrid teaching concepts" outlines how ETHZ switched to hybrid teaching within a very short time and how hospital placements were combined with video conferences. The qualitative surveys conducted at the end of the semester and the weekly quantitative surveys of students from March to June indicate the importance of personal exchange despite the ban on contact and that interactivity is possible even without physical proximity. An example from the autumn semester will also be used to show which aspects have proved to be successful and can therefore be retained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Die Digitalisierung verändert unsere Gesellschaft, Wirtschaft und Arbeit in einem rasanten Tempo - das verlangt auch Unterne hmen einiges ab. Sie benötigen Lösungen für die sich kontinuierlich verändernden Rahmenbedingungen und Anforderungen, um langfristig bestehen zu können. Mit diesen Herausforderungen gehen allerdings auch technische Möglichkeiten einher, um Prozesse im Unternehmen nachhaltig zu vereinfachen. Vor allem in der Projekt-Abwicklung haben viele Unternehmen Probleme mit Übersicht, Kommunikation und Koordination. Die Lösung: Projektmanagement-Tools, die die Organisation und Kommunikation vereinfachen, optimieren und standardisieren. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Die Zielsetzung der vorliegenden Studie liegt darin, Bedarfe für eine Qualifizierung und Professionalisierung von Lehrkräften in inklusiven Schulen zu identifizieren. Dabei stehen sowohl spezifische Lehrer*innengruppen als auch konkrete Inhalte bzw. Anforderungen von Inklusion im Fokus. Den Rahmen hierfür bilden Schulen mit dem Schulprofil Inklusion (N = 471 Lehrkräfte aus 49 Schulen). Mittels hierarchischer Clusteranalyse (Überprüfung durch Diskriminanzanalyse) werden Gruppen von Lehrer*innen gebildet. Diese basieren darauf, wie die Lehrkräfte berichten, die Anforderungen von Inklusion (adaptive Unterrichtsgestaltung, Förderplanung, Schulkonzeptentwicklung, innerschulische und externe Kooperation) umzusetzen. Die Betrachtung der vier Cluster zeigt eine Gruppe von Lehrer*innen, die die Anforderungen inklusiver Bildung durchwegs am intensivsten realisiert. Diese machen deutlich, dass nicht für alle Lehrenden gleichermaßen die Notwendigkeit einer Qualifizierung besteht. Gleiches gilt für die Konzeption einheitlicher Maßnahmen, denn für alle Lehrkräfte identische Maßnahmen werden der Diversität der geäußerten Einschätzungen nicht gerecht. Zielführender erscheinen mikrokontextuell orientierte Maßnahmen, die auf bestimmte Lehrkräfte und Anforderungen zugeschnitten sind. Solche Bedarfe zielen einerseits auf die Lehrer*innen ab, die die Anforderungen von Inklusion übergreifend als am geringsten verwirklicht einschätzen sowie diejenigen, die bestimmte Anforderungen nicht umsetzen. Für diese sind Gründe und folgend Maßnahmen zu diskutieren, warum die Umsetzung durchwegs eine so negative Einschätzung erfährt. Maßnahmen im Kontext von Schulentwicklung oder Supervision erscheinen zielführend. Spezifische Qualifizierungsbedarfe bestehen vor allem hinsichtlich innerschulischer Zusammenarbeit, die sich clusterübergreifend als eher gering ausgeprägt erweist. Abstract The main objective of the present study is to identify needs for qualification and professionalisation of teachers in inclusive classes. The focus is on both specific teacher-groups and specific demands with regard to inclusion. For this purpose, teachers from inclusive schools (N = 471 in 49 schools) were questioned. All teachers involved work in schools with the ‘school profile inclusion’ which is based on a concept on joint teaching for the whole school day for a very diverse student body. Using cluster analysis, types of teachers implementing the demands of inclusion were revealed. Teacher types were formed using cluster analysis (Ward) and discriminant analysis. The revealed four teacher-groups differed in their appraisals of the implementation of specific dimensions of inclusion such as adaptive instruction, using individual education plans, school concept development, in-school and extra-curricular cooperation. Considering the clusters and especially the one appraising the implementation of inclusion to the greatest extent, it could be shown that there is no need to qualify all teachers and, furthermore, to qualify them identically. Implications for improved practice should focus on micro-contextual measures for certain teachers and specific demands. On the one hand, measures for teachers implementing all dimensions of inclusion to the lowest extent need to be discussed. Reasons for this need to be identified and implications such as school development or supervision seem to be expedient. Specific qualification needs affect in-school teamwork as it is less pronounced in all clusters.

Interprofessional teamwork among healthcare professionals in healthcare organizations is a key factor for both their job satisfaction and patients’ effective and efficient treatment. One precondition for successful interprofessional teamwork is a shared mental model (a common cognitive frame of reference and knowledge) of working together as a team. However, there often exist subcultures, and each of these has its own mental model of teamwork. Hence, it can be assumed that different healthcare professional groups do not share the evaluation of their interprofessional teamwork and job satisfaction (Hypothesis 1). Additionally, based on the input-process-output model of team effectiveness, it can be expected that interprofessional teamwork determines job satisfaction (Hypothesis 2). These hypotheses were tested in a survey of 272 employees in 15 rehabilitation clinics in Germany. Results showed that healthcare professionals’ evaluation of their interprofessional teamwork (F(3, 203) = 9.118, p < 0.001, η2 = 0.119) as well as their job satisfaction (F(3, 210) = 3.357, p = 0.02, η2 = 0.046) differed significantly. Physicians reported the highest level of interprofessional teamwork and job satisfaction compared with other groups. Perceptions of interprofessional teamwork explain approximately 20% of the variance in job satisfaction. Thus, both hypotheses were confirmed. Interprofessional interventions in education and practice are recommended to establish a shared mental model, which could improve teamwork and subsequently job satisfaction.
