6. Extrinsic Factors for Learning: from a Perspective of Patient Safety Education / 医学教育

The “problems” of the “problem” learner are not only those intrinsic to the learner, but also those extrinsic to the educator and the system. This paper focuses on patient safety education as an example of where these extrinsic problems are manifested. Patient safety management in the last two decades has been mainly a means to improve the system by analyzing failed incidents in a no-blame manner, but there is also an emphasis on balancing the accountability of the person involved, thus the importance of education is increasing. However, there are barriers to motivating individuals to learn from their failures. The “problem” in patient safety education may be overcome by assuring psychological safety, giving consideration to motivation based on self-determination theory, and using the Safety-II paradigm to change the viewpoint of failure.

Practice of Human Factors Training Based on SHEL Model:Patient Safety Education for First Year Medical Students / 医学教育

Introduction: The theory of Human Factors (HF), which designs work and environment according to human characteristics, contributes to patient safety. However, there are not enough reports of systematic educational practices on HF. Our training was designed and practiced using SHEL, an explanatory model of HF.　Methods: Ten training sessions were conducted on the components of SHEL, including Software: manual design, Hardware: user-friendly medical device design, Environment: work environment design, Liveware (self) : human characteristics, and Liveware (others) : teamwork.　Reflection: The HF training using SHEL may lead to acquiring procedural knowledge of patient safety management, and to better understanding of HF by students. In addition, focusing on daily errors is expected to increase students’ learning motivation.

A Case Report on Using a Board Game in Undergraduate Patient Safety Education to Enable Communication Error Experiences / 医学教育

Introduction: It is important to educate undergraduates about communication errors in clinical sites, but it is difficult for clinically inexperienced students to imagine those errors. Therefore, in this study, a board game (BG) was developed and put into practice to encourage students' understanding.　Methods: The BG consists of a board on which the patient's name is written and cards on which drug names are written. Students place cards on the board according to the teacher's instructions. These instructions include multiple traps based on actual incident cases. Through the game, students experienced errors.　Reflection: This BG contains gamification elements that make learning contents simple and fun and simulation elements that reproduce errors with high fidelity. By combining these elements, it is possible for each aspect of the ARCS model to be provided in a well-balanced manner, even in patient safety education for clinically inexperienced students.

Patient safety education among chinese medical undergraduates: An empirical study / 华中科技大学学报（医学）（英德文版）

Patient safety education is conducive to medical students' cognition on patient safety and to improvement of medical quality and safety. Developing patient safety education for medical students is more and more widely recognized by World Health Organization and countries all over the world. However, in China, patient safety courses aiming at medical students are relatively few, and there are few reports about the effect of patient safety courses. This paper explored the influence of patient safety curriculum on medical students' attitude to and knowledge of patient safety. The patient safety curriculum was carried out for 2011-grade undergraduates of Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology. The students participated in the class according to free choice. After the curriculum, the information of gender, major, attended course, attitude toward patient safety, and knowledge of laws and regulations of the 2011-grade undergraduates were collected. After rejecting invalid questionnaires, the number of undergraduates that participated in the survey was 112 (61 students did not take part in the curriculum; 51 took part in). Chi-square test was applied to analyze patient safety education's influence on medical students' attitude to patient safety and their knowledge mastery situation. The influence of patient safety education on the attitude of medical students to patient safety was not significant, but that on their knowledge of patient safety was remarkable. No matter male or female, as compared with medical students who had not accepted patient safety education, they both had a better acquisition of knowledge after having this education (for male students: 95% CI, 4.556-106.238, P<0.001; for female students: 95% CI, 3.183-33.238, P<0.001). Students majoring in Western Medicine had a relatively better mastery of knowledge of patient safety after receiving patient safety education (95% CI, 6.267-76.271, P<0.001). Short-term patient safety education cannot change medical students' stereotyped cognition on matters related to patient safety, but it can effectively enhance their knowledge of laws and regulations of patient safety.

Developing Food Safety Education Program for Employees at School Foodservice Implementing HACCP / 대한지역사회영양학회지

OBJECTIVES: This study was performed to develop a food safety education program for school foodservice employees and evaluate its effectiveness. METHODS: Food safety education programs were made into two levels; one for new employees in school foodservice and another for employees in charge of Critical Control Point (CCP) monitoring. The programs were for 40-minute-long lecture using PowerPoint. The effectiveness of these programs were assessed based on eleven evaluation items by school foodservice dieticians (n=30) and the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) specialist (n=13). All statistical analyses are conducted by SPSS package program (ver 20.0). RESULTS: According to the results of evaluating the food safety education program by dietitian and HACCP specialist, the overall satisfaction score was 4.14, evaluated by 5 point scale. There were no significant difference in results of evaluation between dieticians and HACCP specialists. The score of 'it is helpful to work' and 'pictures, images and charts are pertinent to study' were higher than others while the score of 'education contents is pleasant and interesting' and 'screen is pleasant and interesting' were the lowest among all evaluation items. CONCLUSIONS: To increase the school foodservice quality, employees should be offered regular food safety education and training through effective education media including prerequisite program and HACCP manual for school foodservice.

Educación vial como aporte al compromiso y responsabilidad ciudadana con la seguridad en el tránsito / Road education as contribution to the commitment and civil responsibility with the safety in the traffic

El presente trabajo pretende dar a conocer los lineamientos de una investigación UBACyT 2010-20121. El proyecto se enfrenta con la situación problemática de evaluar la eficacia de los cursos de Educación Vial y la incidencia en el comportamiento de los conductores que transgreden la normativa de tránsito. El universo de esta investigación está conformado por los sujetos que demandan la recuperación de puntos perdidos por infracciones (scoring). Como recurso metodológico utilizamos la triangulación de los datos obtenidos por encuestas y entrevistas grupales y a informantes claves.Se hará un seguimiento de los sujetos que han perdido puntos en el scoring y desean recuperarlos realizando el curso para tal fin.Concibiendo la educación desde la “pedagogía de la autonomía” de Paulo Freire. Según esta concepción pedagógica quien enseña aprende al enseñar y quien aprende enseña al aprender (Freire, 1996), es decir, enseñar no existe sin aprender y viceversa, por esta razón, buscamos relevar el conocimiento de la experiencia presentado por los asistentes y las estrategias de afrontamiento implementadas en situaciones de riesgo, transformando esta experiencia por la vía de la enseñanza, como aporte epistemológico para los programas de los cursos de educación vial. Nuestra expectativa apunta a que los resultados sean transferidos a los organismos de planificación de políticas públicas como prevención de siniestralidad, contando con la sensibilización de los medios para difundir los hallazgos.

This work aims at divulging the features of a research conducted by the Investigation UBACyT 2010-2012. This project faces the problematic situation of assessing the eficiency of Driving Courses and their incidence in the behavior of drivers who break driving regulations. Its general objective is that citizens commit to being the rules that reinforce trafic safety in order to reduce the rate of morbidity and mortality caused by trafic accidents. The subjects of this research are people who ask for a restitution of the points that they lost due to infractions (scoring system). The methodology consists of the triangulation of data that come from surveys, group interviews and interviews to key informers. The behavior of the subjects that attend the course in order to have their points back will also be analyzed. Regarding education from the point of view of autonomy pedagogy, as stated by Paulo Freire, we seek to favor a dialectic movement by revealing both the knowledge from experience that attendants have and the facing strategies that they put to use in risk involving situations. This project aims at turning these experiences into epistemological contributions to the trafic safety education training programs. Our expectations are that whit the help of the media results will be transferred to the society at large as a means of preventing trafic accidents.

Dieticians' Perception of Safety Supervision in Institutional Foodservices (II): Status of Safety System and Safety Education

The purpose of this study was to investigate the status of the safety system and safety education in institutional foodservices in the Changwon and Masan areas. The survey was conducted from February 1 to March 31, 2009 via questionnaires that were sent to 300 dietitians, and 142 dietitians responded. It was determined that most of the safety managers were 'dietitians (87.1%)', whereas facilities/equipment managers consisted of 'dietitians (45.7%)', 'department of facilities management in the organization (36.4%)' and 'outsourced company of facilities management (17.9%)'. Out of the 11 safety practices, seven safety practices showed less than 50% of total implementation ratio, which meant that the safety systems were not functioning properly. Except for 'non-skid shoes (85.9%)', other safety equipment was seldom used. The survey respondents recognized that safety education was very necessary (4.47 points); however, they responded so-so (3.46 points) to the question of whether or not the actual frequency and time spent on safety education were enough. The average time spent on safety education was 28 minutes 11 seconds. Regarding the difficulties in performing safety education, 'not many safety education materials and media (3.44 points)', 'not many varieties in the subjects and contents for safety education (3.40 points)', and 'not much organizational support on safety education (3.33 points)' showed higher scores than 'lack of education time due to workload (3.20 points)'. The following were cited as education materials that should be developed as it is currently difficult to obtain relevant information and data: 'root causes of musculoskeletal injury and preventive measures (15.8%)', 'healthcare and disease preventive exercises for employees who do simple and repetitive works (14.9%)', and 'instruction on safe handling of chemicals (12.7%)'.

Evaluation on the effects of education regarding road safety among middle school students / 中华流行病学杂志

Objectlve To evaluate the intervention effects for road traffic accident prevention among middle school students through understanding their knowledge,attitude and practice (KAP) on road safety.Methods Students in Grade 1 and Grade 2 from 7 junior and senior middle schools in Ji’nan city were selected as intervention group and students from a middle school in Hefei city served as control group.Education was provided to the intervention group and all the middle school students in Ji’nan city.Changes of KAP on road safety were measured for both groups during the follow—up period,and comparison on KAP for the two groups Was carried staffstically. Results The mean scores of road safety knowledge for intervention group improved significantly during the follow-up period(from 0.9-3.8),while these indices did not change much in the control group(from 0—0.2).Negative attitude on road safety was found in both groups,but less in the intervention group.More students started to admit that middle school students themselves should be responsible for most of the RTAs.Per week frequency of violating traffic rules did not improve,however during the follow-up period on both groups as still 75％ to 80％ of the students violating the traffic rules less than 2 times per week.Although three kinds and one kind of iraffic rules violation seemed to have improved in the intervention group and in the control group,there were still two and three other kinds tumed worse in the intervention and in the control group,respectively.Conclusion Program on road safety education significantly improved the relative knowledge for middle school student and it exerted positive effeets in road safety attitude to some extent.However,no significant effect was found in the improvement on their behavior.Education on road safety should be carried out in the early stage of childhood with newer and more effective intervention approaches.

Elementary School Students' Knowledge, Behavior and Request for Education Method Associated with Food Safety

We investigated elementary school students' knowledge, behavior, experience and preference of education method related to food safety in order to provide basic information for food safety educational program. A survey study was conducted with 569, fourth and sixth grade students, from two schools in Seoul and Ulsan. Students were asked thirty-two questions regarding food safety knowledge, behavior and experiences as well as their attitude to food safety class and preference for teaching method. The data was analyzed for the frequency analysis, t-test, chi-square test, one-way ANOVA and Pearson correlation using the SPSS/Windows. Results indicated that 91.9 percent of the respondents did not know what unsanitary food is. 67 percent of the respondents did not know the proper method of hand washing. Although the students' level of knowledge and behavior associated with food safety was low, there was meaningful correlation(r =.184, p<.01) between knowledge and behavior. Surprisingly, students in higher grade did not demonstrate an exceeding food safety knowledge and behavior. More than 50 percent of the subjects did not have food safety education either at home or school. 60 percent of the respondents interested in food safety and the majority recognized that a food safety education is needed. Students want to learn about unsanitary food(34.1%), foodborne illness(29.7%), food selection and storage method(21.3%), and personal hygiene(11.2%) through game, role play, and practice in real situation. These results suggest that development of food safety education program is needed through the elementary school year and the education program must include fun activities in which students can participate.
