Research suggests that the type of pillow used in proning may have a significant impact on patient outcomes and increase the risk of disfiguring pressure injuries to the face. However, there is little evidence surrounding the usability of these pillows in the ICU. The aim of this study was to identify redesign opportunities by understanding how the tools, tasks, people, environment, and organization all interact during proning in the ICU. Thirty-six ICU clinicians from two Australian public metropolitan hospitals completed an online questionnaire regarding their opinions and experiences with proned patients and the prevention of pressure injuries. Seven ICU clinicians then completed journey mapping activities to document the key workflows, critical incidents, considerations, and personnel involved in managing proned patients in the ICU. Several barriers and facilitators to pressure injury prevention were identified, including interactions between the various tools (e.g., proning pillows with one opening limits the management of several medical devices), the tasks (e.g., high frequency of repositioning), the people (e.g., clinical inexperience, patient features), the environment (e.g., limited availability of tools), and the organization (e.g., limited number of staff to support tasks). This holistic approach revealed several opportunities for the redesign of proning pillows and associated systems. Key takeaways include the limitations of a one-size-fits-all approach to proning in the ICU context, and the need for flexibility and customization to improve proning pillows, associated medical devices, prophylactic dressings, aids, and processes.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":55048,"journal":{"name":"Human Factors and Ergonomics in Manufacturing & Service Industries","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138959527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We conducted two studies with experimental vignette methodology. In Study 1 (<i>N</i><sub>1</sub> = 169 German employees), we manipulated an assembly workplace (with IAS vs. without IAS) and tested whether findings indicating only positive effects of IASs in the support of a simple assembly process can be transferred to more complex assembly processes. In Study 2 (<i>N</i><sub>2</sub> = 176 German employees), we manipulated again the assembly workplace (with IAS vs. without IAS) and in addition the dynamic of product changes (task rotation after 1 h vs. no task rotation). Analyzing the data with SPSS 27, we found increased feedback from job and information processing and decreased work scheduling, decision-making, and work methods autonomy when working with IAS. In Study 2, we did not find the main or interaction effects of task rotation on MWCs. Our experimental evidence suggests that working with IASs represents a double-edged sword regarding MWCs and that the effect of task rotation is limited. Hence, our results provide vital theoretical implications for a much-needed work design theory that delineates how new technologies shape work design and practical implications for modern assembly.</p>","PeriodicalId":55048,"journal":{"name":"Human Factors and Ergonomics in Manufacturing & Service Industries","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/hfm.21021","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138972448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, understanding the roles of trust and perceived risk in user acceptance of AI virtual assistants is crucial. This study develops a comprehensive research model based on unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) to explain user acceptance of AI virtual assistants. This model extends UTAUT by adding users' perception of trust and risk. The research model and hypotheses are validated through structural equation modeling with a sample of 926 AI virtual assistant users. Results show that gender is significantly related to behavioral intention to use, education is positively related to trust and behavioral intention to use, and usage experience is positively related to attitude toward using. UTAUT variables, including performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions, are positively related to behavioral intention to use AI virtual assistant. Trust and perceived risk respectively have positive and negative effects on attitude toward using and behavioral intention to use AI virtual assistants.

This paper analyzes drivers' aggressive driving behavior from the vehicle type perspective and identifies the influencing factors of aggressive driving behavior through artificial neural network (ANN) and Shapley additive explanations (SHAPs). Using Kaggle's open-source aggressive driving data, we establish an ANN model to identify driving styles, where road conditions, environmental conditions, and vehicle parameters are independent variables and driving style is a dependent variable. The following measurements, including accuracy, recall, precision, and <i>F</i>1 score, are used to evaluate the model's performance, and the neural network got 85.33%, 82.32%, 84.16%, and 0.8308, respectively. To illustrate the influence of independent variables, the SHAP algorithm is used to analyze the model's feature importance. It was found that illumination and weather conditions influenced the model's performance along with the vehicle length. The number of lanes relates to driving style, and there were more aggressive driving behaviors on two-lane roads than on single-lane roads. Besides, heavy-duty vehicle drivers were more likely to drive aggressively in wet road conditions and indulge in aggressive driving behaviors at night. Particularly, drivers of heavy-duty vehicles were more likely to drive aggressively, provided that the vehicle in front was also a heavy-duty vehicle. These findings inform heavy-duty vehicle drivers to reduce aggressive driving behavior.

The salience, effort, expectancy, value (SEEV) model, which combines top-down and bottom-up attention mechanisms for predicting attention allocation, has been validated in research areas such as piloting, driving, and surgical operations. However, the validity of the SEEV model in the field of robotic arm teleoperation has not yet been thoroughly studied. The primary purpose of this study was to confirm the feasibility of the SEEV model for operator visual attention allocation prediction in a robotic arm teleoperation scenario. The improved ITTI algorithm, distance-measuring tool, Delphi method, and lowest ordinal algorithm were adopted to qualify the four factors of the SEEV model, which also contributed to salience and expectancy quantification methods. Accordingly, an attention allocation prediction model in a robotic arm teleoperation scene was constructed. To verify the validity of the prediction model, 20 participants were recruited to control the robotic arm using V-REP simulation software, and their fixation durations were recorded using an eye tracker as an attention allocation indicator. Participants controlled the robotic arm according to the experimental requirements and operational tasks, such as grasping and placing the target. The results demonstrated that the theoretical data based on the SEEV prediction model are significantly related to the proportion of fixation durations.

Identifying and predicting aggressive driving behaviors is critical to reduce traffic crashes. In this study, we propose a method to recognize aggressive driving behavior based on association classification, with multisource features being employed, including driver emotion, vehicle kinematic characteristics, and road environment. The model performs best in a 10-fold cross-test when the minimum support and minimum confidence are set as 0.01 and 0.8, respectively. Besides, we also compare the performance of aggressive driving behavior recognition classifiers constructed using association classification with other rule-based classification methods, including ID3, C4.5, CART, and Random Forest. The results show that association classification performs better than other classification competitors. Thirty-six if–then rules generated by the association classification are used to analyze the influencing factors and associated mechanisms of aggressive driving behavior. It is found that aggressive driving behavior is highly correlated with driver anger and disgust emotions. Aggressive driving behavior is more likely to occur when no passengers are in the car than the case with passengers. Driver entertainment behavior and passenger interference also affect driving behavior. Moreover, drivers are prone to aggressive driving when making a U-turn.
