Strategies for enabling adaptive capacity are necessary for adjusting activities in response to the variability of overall workload and individual patient acuity. This study aims to identify and describe the strategies used by lead-nurses to inform recommendations for training and education. 14 lead-nurses participated in focus group discussions using a table-top sandbox simulation to trigger for reflection on decisions, trade-offs and strategies for handling difficult situations during everyday work. The sandbox simulation was intended to focus the discussions on situation assessment, problem-solving strategies and cognitive challenges. The simulation and following discussions were audio- and video recorded and analysed with reflexive thematic analysis. The results illustrate how lead-nurses work towards maintaining an equilibrium between monitoring and coordinating efforts. This result underlines the complex continuous process of adjusting work and resources to situational conditions and demands. The lead-nurse's work is about balancing strategies for monitoring the ED and coordinating care. This balance is important for solving problems here and now while minimising the effects of shifting problems between parts of the ED system or to later points in time. This should be explored further with the question of what strategies that could be standardised versus which should remain adaptive before designing training regimes for adaptive strategies.","PeriodicalId":55502,"journal":{"name":"Applied Ergonomics","volume":"125 ","pages":"104466"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142985360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the optimal display characteristics-particularly in terms of area and shape-remain inadequately understood. This study investigated these two factors by manipulating horizontal and vertical Field of View (FOV) angles within a simulated in-vehicle HUD. Thirty-one participants participated in this laboratory-based study they completed a digit matching task while driving within a driving simulator. The accuracy and response time of the task served as indicators for efficiency. The standard deviation of lateral position (SDLP) was employed to assess area and shape's impacts on driving performance, alongside subjective ease-of-use evaluations. Results indicated that an increase in horizontal FOV angle significantly delay response times and reduce ease-of-use ratings. We also observed significant effects of area and shape on response time and ratings; specifically, participants responded faster in smaller display area conditions, which were also rated as the easiest to use. Accuracy, however, was largely unaffected by size and shape. Importantly, most manipulations did not interfere with driving performance, except for the area 500 condition, wherein landscape shape was associated with better lane-keeping performance. Our findings provide valuable insights for the design of in-vehicle HUDs.","PeriodicalId":55502,"journal":{"name":"Applied Ergonomics","volume":"125 ","pages":"104464"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142973369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the strategies to improve pilots' ability to deal with SD is to perform SD training using Virtual Reality and Motion Simulator (VRMS) system. However, there is still a lack of studies that investigated the application of VRMS for SD training. Thus, the purpose of this study is to develop and validate VRMS-based SD scenarios. Twenty-two male Air Force fighter pilots (11 in the low experienced group and 11 in the high experienced group) participated in a controlled experiment in which they performed the flight task under two conditions (SD flight, non-SD flight), wherein the SD flight condition included the induction of four distinct SD illusions. Findings showed that the developed SD scenarios in the VRMS system effectively induce SD. More specifically, there were differences in the influence of flight experience and SD condition on pilots' flight performance and workload. This study suggests that the VRMS system can demonstrate several types of SD scenarios effectively and has a huge potential to be utilized as an SD training tool to improve overall flight safety.","PeriodicalId":55502,"journal":{"name":"Applied Ergonomics","volume":"125 ","pages":"104457"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142967384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

NTS training often utilizes live simulations where healthcare workers can practice these skills, but simulations like this can be expensive and resource intensive to run. Training technical skills using extended reality tools (e.g., virtual, augmented, or mixed reality) has seen a growth in popularity across healthcare domains, however, the use of XR to train specific interpersonal and cognitive skills comprises a smaller part of the literature. As such, this study aims to scope the literature to identify how NTS have been trained through XR-based systems. The specific aims were to identify: 1) which NTS are being trained in healthcare, 2) which modality of XR these skills are being trained in, 3) what specialties are using XR to train NTS in healthcare, and 4) potential areas for future work. Based on consistent search terms for each database, 18,984 articles were initially retrieved, and articles were removed per the screening criteria. Results from the 15 included articles show that the most common NTS construct evaluated was communication (80%), the most common XR modality was virtual reality (80%), and the most common healthcare domain was surgery (46.7%). These articles found that training NTS in XR can lead to comparable, or better, learning outcomes compared to traditional methods. However, future work may look to consider additional NTS in training, improve interaction with XR environments, and measure NTS with XR technology.","PeriodicalId":55502,"journal":{"name":"Applied Ergonomics","volume":"125 ","pages":"104463"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142933718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Task prioritization, requiring effective cognitive control, is a strategy to mitigate these effects and is influenced by the stability-flexibility dilemma. While previous studies have investigated the stability-flexibility dilemma in fully manual multitasking environments, this study explores how cognitive control modes interact with automation reliability. While no significant interaction between control mode and automation reliability was observed in single multitasking performance, our findings demonstrate that overall task performance benefits from a flexible cognitive control mode when automation is reliable. However, when automation is unreliable, a stable cognitive control mode improves manual takeover performance, though this comes at the expense of secondary task performance. Furthermore, cognitive control modes and automation reliability independently affect various eye-tracking metrics and mental workload. These findings underscore the need to integrate cognitive control and automation reliability into adaptive assistance systems, particularly during the perceive stage, to enhance safety in human-machine systems.","PeriodicalId":55502,"journal":{"name":"Applied Ergonomics","volume":"125 ","pages":"104461"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142928598","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
