Cognitive Dissonance

Cognitive Dissonance

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Measurement: Standard Units

Measurement: Standard Units

Every measurement provides three kinds of information: the size or magnitude of the measurement (a number), a standard of comparison for the measurement (a unit), and an indication of the uncertainty of the measurement. While the number and unit are explicitly represented when a quantity is written, the uncertainty is an aspect of the errors in the measurement results.

Measurement: Derived Units

Measurement: Derived Units

The International System of Units or SI system, by international agreement, has fixed measurement units for seven fundamental properties: length, mass, time, temperature, electric current, amount of substance, and luminosity. These are called the SI base units.

Nursing Implementation

Nursing Implementation

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

Group Design

Group Design

The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between...

Motor Units

Motor Units

A motor unit consists of two main components: a single efferent motor neuron (i.e., a neuron that carries impulses away from the central nervous system) and all of the muscle fibers it innervates. The motor neuron may innervate multiple muscle fibers, which are single cells, but only one motor neuron innervates a single muscle fiber.

Area of Science:

Obstetrics and Gynecology
Patient Safety
Healthcare Management

Background:

Obstetric care involves high-stakes, dynamic situations requiring multidisciplinary team coordination.
Team actions significantly influence peripartum and perinatal outcomes.
Cognitive aids are tools designed to enhance patient safety and healthcare efficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

To summarize current knowledge on cognitive aid design, implementation, and use in obstetrics.
To highlight existing gaps in the field for future research and enhancement.
To provide resources for cognitive aid development in obstetric settings.

Main Methods:

Review of simulation-based evidence on cognitive aid efficacy.
Analysis of literature supporting cognitive aid use in clinical settings.
Synthesis of current understanding and available resources for cognitive aids.

Main Results:

Simulation studies demonstrate cognitive aid effectiveness in crisis management, particularly with a designated reader role.
Growing literature supports the use of cognitive aids in both obstetric and non-obstetric settings.
Cognitive aids are most effective when customized locally and integrated with clinician judgment and training.

Conclusions:

Cognitive aids are valuable tools for improving team management and patient safety in obstetric crises.
Successful implementation requires local customization and integration with existing clinical practices.
Further research is needed to address identified gaps and enhance the application of cognitive aids in obstetrics.
