Despite diligent efforts, clinicians can be susceptible to hand hygiene misses in fast-paced, complex environments such as the operating room due to systemic factors such as the physical environment, workflow, and sporadic interactions with other personnel. Through the use of human factors and resilience engineering concepts, work-as-done were studied to identify barriers to hand hygiene compliance in the operating rooms of a pediatric hospital in an urban area. The saliency, effort, expectancy, value model was applied to design a multifaceted intervention that resulted in a sustained 95% hand hygiene compliance.","PeriodicalId":357563,"journal":{"name":"Ergonomics in Design: The Quarterly of Human Factors Applications","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124630949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Maikala","doi":"10.1177/1064804621992095","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/1064804621992095","url":null,"abstract":"Diversity, equality, and inclusion have long been central tenets of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES). This commitment is especially evident in the contribution of women scientists and academicians who, over the years, have held prominent positions as HFES past presidents, distinguished fellows, and executive council members. In the past, in a series of articles titled, “First Ladies of HFES,” Past President Francis T. Durso highlighted the distinguished careers of women HFES members who were first to serve in leadership positions for the Society, including, I might add, three former Ergonomics in Design (EID) editors-in-chief. In tribute to the contribution of women to HFES and to the field of human factors and ergonomics (HF/E), this issue opens with an article by Chong and Proctor on the achievements of Lillian Gilbreth and Amelia Earhart. Although this article does not fit into the “design-related” scientific mission of the journal, the overarching message is an important one and relevant to our times as we continue to strive for inclusivity in scientific research and practice. I first learned about Dr. Lillian Gilbreth while pursuing my masters’ degree in industrial engineering. However, I credit my 10-year-old daughter for making me more aware of the exploits and heroism of Amelia Earhart, as she has been collecting stories on her life since first grade. As described in the Chong and Proctor article, Edward C. Elliott, the sixth president of Purdue University, hired industrial engineer Gilbreth and aviator Earhart in 1935 as part of his vision to encourage educational opportunities for women. He did so, even though at that time it was practically unthinkable to consider women for these roles. Elliott’s forward-thinking approach helped to foster scientific progress, and consequently, we have all benefitted from the contributions of these amazing women. The second article presented in this issue picks up the thread from past year’s special issue on “Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, and Human Factors Design” – a timely topic with regard to emerging developments in speech recognition, medical diagnosis, predictive analytics, data extraction, and so on. Kamaraj and Lee share their insight on machine learning through research that involves augmenting supervised learning with unsupervised learning and data visualization. The authors present a human-augmented machine learning aided framework to guide data analysts in classifying their data. They tested their framework on a subset of data from the Occupational Information Network database on tasks that might be potentially performed in an automated vehicle. The authors conclude that their augmented methodology could be used to classify big data in a meaningful fashion for optimal and informed decision making. The third article in this issue considers some of the human–technology interaction challenges presented by virtual reality – challenges that have become very apparent in","PeriodicalId":357563,"journal":{"name":"Ergonomics in Design: The Quarterly of Human Factors Applications","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115927001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Designs of ablution places are usually copied from designs of ablution places in other mosques or based on individual perspectives. Based on the researchers’ anecdotal observations, most of these designs are nonergonomic, uncomfortable, and less user-friendly for ablution in either sitting or standing position, especially for the elderly. In such designs, water splashing is common because of inappropriate heights of platforms or seats, insufficient distances between seats and faucets, and improper shapes and depths of water drain. The purpose of the present study is to present the design of a novel ergonomic ablution place to ensure comfortable, safe, and hygienic conditions. The design is particularly related to the size and height of seat, height and distance of faucet from the seat, depth and slope of water drain, and height and width of the platform. The design was implemented at four mosques in Arar, Saudi Arabia. Modifications at ablution places were made according to the proposed design and were appreciated by the local community. The design was communicated to the Directorate of Mosques in Arar and agreed upon for implementation in other mosques.","PeriodicalId":357563,"journal":{"name":"Ergonomics in Design: The Quarterly of Human Factors Applications","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128332876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although “design thinking” has gained popularity in many fields (e.g., business, health, information technology, education), product innovation is still not used widely in the design of some of the personal protective equipment available to jockeys. This article discusses about an Australian design case study on jockeys’ safety vests that used a qualitative research approach along with user experience design principles, which led to consider a revision of this framework to accommodate design dependencies in terms of a suggested dependency-based user experience design framework. Hence, this article calls for further research in this field.","PeriodicalId":357563,"journal":{"name":"Ergonomics in Design: The Quarterly of Human Factors Applications","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129099918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With automated vehicles now being a reality, an appropriate communication between driver/operator and the vehicle is of vital importance. At least at present, and most probably, in the near future, automated vehicles cannot cope with all the road and traffic conditions. Therefore, the driver must remain attentive to the automated driving system as they may be called upon to take control of the vehicle unexpectedly. On the other hand, when the road conditions are proper for automated driving, the driver may be asked to transfer the control back to the automated system. The time duration from a control transfer request by the automated system until the driver fulfills it, that is, the control handover time, the factors affecting this time, the driver reactions to the request, and the methods to improve the communication between driver and the vehicle to decrease the control transfer time are the subject of this book by Eriksson and Stanton. After a complete review of the history of automated vehicles, this book mostly presents the details and results of recent studies by the authors examining the control handover time from automated vehicles to driver and discusses the important human factors affecting that time. The experiments were carried out both in driving simulators and on open roads. The authors compare the results with those from previous studies by others. For the first time, these studies present results on transition time from manual to automated driving modes. In describing the results from several experiments, the authors identify the effective human factors in the control handover time and suggest applicable methods to reduce this time in automated vehicles. Examples of these factors are the human-machine interface, the driver being with/without a secondary task preceding the control transition, takeover request lead time, and previous experience of driver with automated vehicles. Their research also justifies the use of driving simulators as a safe and controllable method to evaluate driver reactions to automated vehicles, which agrees with previous results. After discussing the human–automation interaction and its challenges, the authors introduce a new approach by extending the linguistic principles of human-human communication to the domain of human-automation interaction and treating the automated driving system as a codriver whose task is to provide the necessary and sufficient information about the system state for the driver. However, automated vehicles are a new phenomenon with few incidents. Therefore, when looking for examples to clarify their point, the authors do not hesitate to use two famous incidents from the world of aviation, namely the Air France Flight 447 incident in May 2009 and the Comair Flight 3272 case that happened in January 1997. The examples are discussed minutely and clearly demonstrate the subject to the reader.
