Design of formative evacuation plans using agent-based simulation

Investigate the efficiency of the evacuation plan: 3 steps with multiple iterations; 1: simulate, 2: analyse simulation, e.g. top-down analysis methods such as fault-tree analysis, 3: new simulations

Developing Disaster Preparedness Competence: An Experiential Learning Exercise for Multiprofessional Education.

The had three processes. First, a criterion referenced written test on the content of the lectures, prereadings, and exercises to measure the extent to which the first objective, understanding key concepts, had been accomplished. The pretest and posttest were identical, and at the debriefing, before the posttest, we went over the answers to the questions. We believed that this would reduce stress and, by multiple repetitions of key points, serve as a to teach thepoints we wanted the students to remember. The results of the pretest and posttest were analyzed by paired t tests (two-tailed) using SPSS software.Second, written and verbal comments from the students and facilitators about their experience were requested. The third measure was an attitude scale, whose purpose was to assess changes in student attitudes about working with other professionals and about their roles in a . The analysis of these results revealed that the attitude instrument did not have adequate reliability, and thus we do not have valid data regarding the attainment of Objective 4.

Developing shared situational awareness for emergency management

To determine what is critical information for the CCRRS we divided the approach into critical information, i.e. the minimum SSA needs of the CCRRS, and action-triggering information, i.e. the minimum SA needs of an organization or actor.

Development and evaluation of an offshore oil and gas Emergency Response Focus Board

Archival ERT videos were analyzed for information that was transcribed on a dry-erase whiteboard (focus board) during simulated offshore emergencies.

Development and evaluation of ontology for intelligent decision support in medical emergency management for mass gatherings

Development, initial reliability and validity testing of an observational tool for assessing technical skills of operating room nurses

All data analyses were carried out using SPSS v. 14.0. Reliability, in the form of internal consistency, was assessed via Cronbach a coefficients (and we also report the lowest item–total correlation obtained for each item). Cronbach a values range between 0 and 1 with values >0.70 typically considered adequate in research contexts. Content validity was assessed via Spearman r correlation coefficients between different core skills as rated by the trainer nurse. Non-parametric coefficients were computed due to small sample size. Medium-sized correlations between skills will provide evidence for adequate content validity. Correlations between trainer and trainees’ ratings across skills were reported as well.

Development, initial reliability and validity testing of an observational tool for assessing technical skills of operating room nurses.

All data analyses were carried out using SPSS. Reliability assessed via Cronbach’s alpha coefficients.
