skills that complement technical skills, and contribute to safe and efficient task performance’

Project Aims:

• Develop a behavioural marker system for junior doctors• What are the critical NTS and behaviours that are

associated with safe and effective performance?

Method

Identification of NTS

• Literature review• 27 Interviews with junior doctors

• Critical Incident Technique

Page 21: Ed  Mellanby , June 2013

Critical Incident Technique

• Sweep 1- Uninterrupted description• Sweep 2- Filling in the gaps• Sweep 3- Expanding• Sweep 4- ‘What if’ queries

Analysis:Transcribed Interviews (n=27)

Template Analysis of all interviews by 2 researchers using a priori themes (included discussion of coding differences and any template additions)

Workshop of 6 'subject matter experts' refining template structure

Analysis of 6 interviews using refined template by 2 researchers(included discussions of coding differences)

Analysis of all 26 interviews with refined template by 1 researcher

Results

• 27 Semi-structured interviews completed– 17 female, 10 male working in SE Scotland– Graduating from 9 different Universities– Working in 5 different hospitals across SE Scotland– 1 to 1¾ hours long

Critical Incident Technique Interviews

“It was in my first two weeks of the job and I got called to see this lady who was extremely breathless and I remember her saying to me “I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe” and it was horrible because I remember thinking there’s nobody here, it’s just me and a nurse and I just thought…..”

Situation Awareness

• Knowing what is going on around you

• What?• So What?• Now What?

Uses a structured approach to assessment

“I think because there were so many other things going on, making it difficult to go through it how I’d have liked to have gone through it, so….at the same time there were two nurses in the room as well, who were speaking at me, at the same time and you know trying to add in, they were trying to add extra information but perhaps that was distracting me a bit from maintaining the structure as much as I would have liked. I mean that skeleton is there, and I did eventually get enough information to fill that out perhaps, although perhaps just not in the ordered manner that I would have liked to.” (FYDr2)

“And now when I go into the room independent of what the problem is, with a much more structured way in my head, and I do those things almost in the classical structured way….and do those first, and I don’t let myself get sideways by my own panic, or even the patient’s panic, and then I re-evaluate so it kind of prevents the panic from happening.”(FYDr4)

“then take another quick breath and have a think about what you’ve found cause it’s easy sometimes to just forget, like you listen to someone’s chest and then you forget what you’ve heard or, especially if you’re tired or….so yeah take a breath and think about things” (FYDr18)

“think “can I manage this on my own?”, and if you think at any point “I’m not quite sure” , as soon as you think that get someone else. You are only thinking of the best interests of the patient, and so do it.”(FYDr19)

“it’s that whole thing that you think you should be able to deal with things but you realise you don’t….you can’t, whereas now I don’t mind if I can’t deal with something, better just to ask, whereas before I was worried about my pride”(FYDr14)

The Behaviour of Junior Doctors

Page 41: Ed  Mellanby , June 2013

“Identity Issues”

“I was really, really scared to ring erm for peri arrest cause even though everyone always says (whispers) “Oh no one will ever get cross” - I’ve kind of seen a couple of situations where people have been made to feel and look stupid”(FYDr2)

Page 42: Ed  Mellanby , June 2013

“Organisational Factors”

“If I’d had someone to talk to, phone right away I probably would have phoned them quicker, but phoning the medical registrar is a real big hurdle as that is kind of the top person in the hospital at night”(FYDr4)

Identifying and utilising resources

Escalating CareUses concise structured communication

“waffling is quite an easy habit, especially as a medical student as waffling as a medical student can get you quite far, but not in an emergency, as waffle doesn’t sound like it’s urgent.” (FYDr26)

Page 44: Ed  Mellanby , June 2013

On-going Work

• Scenario and teaching developments

• Attaching exemplar behaviours

• Evaluation of prototype

Page 45: Ed  Mellanby , June 2013

Conclusions

• Non-Technical Skills• Challenging for junior doctors• Important for patients

• Prototype framework can be used to:• Guide educational interventions• Guide performance feedback• Encourage safe and effective behaviours
