Disaster responders are exposed to continuous periods of intense stress, and as a consequence, some suffer mental or emotional adverse effects. In recognition of critical stress as a valid concern, many emergency service providers have attempted, organizationally, to provide their responders with access to traditional critical stress interventions. But when a catastrophic event occurs and mutual aid is invoked, disaster workers and volunteers will respond from diverse jurisdictions, frequently without immediate access to the psychosocial assistance provided by their home agencies. It is incumbent upon incident commanders to be accountable for the psychosocial well-being of the disaster responders, just as it is their duty to ensure the physical safety of the responders under their command. However, our uniform organizational structure for disaster response, the National Incident Management System (NIMS), does not speak directly to the mental/emotional well-being of disaster responders. This thesis proposes interpreting NIMS and its supporting training modules so as to require a component to address disaster responder psychosocial resources. It further suggests that by leveraging precepts of social identity theory and concepts of swift trust, emergency operational team leaders may prime multi-jurisdictional responders to informal exchanges, fostering peer social support, and enhancing responder resiliency to critical stress.

Full textThe purpose of conducting this research was to compare the effectiveness of drum circles and appreciative inquiry as team-building interventions. The researcher conducted two team-building inventions in the same organization—one intervention used a drum circle design; the other used an appreciative inquiry design. Both interventions measured the following aspects of team effectiveness: collaboration, trust, authenticity, communication, creativity, commitment, interrelatedness, and recognition. Data was collected from the two teams through pre-, immediate post-, and four-week post-workshop surveys. There were no significant differences in immediate post-workshop perceptions of their teams. The two teams did not differ significantly in their four-week post-workshop perceptions of their teams, contrasted with earlier findings from pre-workshop independent samples findings. Four main conclusions were drawn. First, based on the survey results, it appears that drum circles and appreciative inquiry are equally useful team-building interventions. Second, it can be suggested that appreciative inquiry has an effective use for team building in the areas of communication, trust, teamwork, and strategy. Third, it can be suggested that drum circles have an effective use for team building in the areas of teamwork, communication, and trust. Fourth, both drum circles and appreciative inquiry can be suggested as team-building interventions in the areas of teamwork, communication, and trust.

Full textThis research explored the topic of team building for a multicultural team and investigated the impact on group cohesion. The participants were members of a work group, each of a different nationality. Review of existing literature revealed a list of team building elements most suited for the multicultural context. A team building program incorporating those elements and customized for the participant group was designed and implemented. Pre and post survey data showed no significant difference in group cohesion, although there was a slight increase in the score for task cohesion. Qualitative interview data, however, suggested a positive impact on group cohesion, with the impact perceived to be greater on task cohesion than social cohesion. Elements of the team building program that were found to be the most impactful were: it provided an opportunity to generate a deeper awareness of others, it provided an opportunity to generate deeper self-awareness, it provided a platform for team collaboration, and it contained fun and interesting activities.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: The past decade saw increasing prominence put on teams in the workplace and concurrently a proliferation in the use of adventure-based programmes to develop teams. The study provides a description of an adventure-based team development intervention into the executive team of the Health and Racquet Club's Gauteng region. The team consisted of fourteen executives that all took part in a three-day team development programme. As a qualitative study it refers to the nature of the intervention as characterised by the participants through their experience thereof and as a descriptive study it learns about the who, what, when, where, and how of the adventure-based team development intervention. The study is done from a phenomenologicalconstructionist perspective and therefore focuses on the meaning attached to the experience by the participants while it recognises the involvement of the researcher. The study is accomplished by describing: • the principles underscoring the intervention and illustrating how the intervention is based on recent literature applying the principles to adventure-based team development; • intervention (and research) context by recounting the activities that were used; and • meaning attached to the intervention with regards to the impact thereof on individuals and team development. In Chapter One an overview of the study, the scope thereof and a formulation of the research problem are given. Chapter Two presents an overview of the team within its context and explains the process of contracting, the team's needs and the fit between the intervention and the strategic aims of the organisation. "The following Chapter provides the principles that were applied in the design and construction of the intervention and gives the theoretical underpinnings of the programme as stemming from recent literature. In Chapter Four a description of the course design as well as the activities that were used is given. This is followed by a description of the impact of the intervention on the individual members and on the team respectively. An overview of the phenomenological method of analysis of Georgi is given and it is used to analyse partlcipant's presentation of the most memorable moments they experienced during the course. The study is concluded by presenting the research outcomes, suggestions on future research and final comments.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Gedurende die afgelope dekade is aansienlik meer prominensie aan spanne in die werkplek toegeken. Daarmee saam is daar ook 'n toename in die gebruik van avontuur-gebaseerde ontwikkelingsprogramme vir spanne. Hierdie studie verskaf 'n beskrywing van 'n avontuur-gebaseerde spanontwikkelingsintervensie waaraan die uitvoerende span van die Health and Racquet Club se Gautengstreek onderwerp is. Die span het bestaan uit veertien bestuurders wat almal aan 'n drie-dag spanontwikkelingsprogram deelgeneem het. Die studie is kwalitatief van aard in die wyse waarop die aard van die intervensie deur die deelnemers gekenmerk word deur hul belewenis daarvan. As 'n beskrywende studie beskryf dit die wie, wat, waar en hoe van die avontuur-gebaseerde spanontwikkelingsintervensie. Die studie word vanaf 'n fenomenologies-konstruksionistiese perspektief aangepak. Dit behels dat daar op die betekenis wat aan die ervaring deur die deelnemers geheg word, gefokus word. Die betrokkenheid van die navorser word terselfdertyd erken. Die studie is voltooi deur 'n beskrywing aan te bied van: - die beginsels wat die intervensie onderlê en hoe die intervensie gebaseer is op 'n toepassing van resente onwikkelings in navorsing rakende avontuur-gebaseerde spanontwikkeling; - die intervensie- (en navorsings-) konteks deur die aktiwiteite wat gebruik is te skets; - die betekenis wat aan die intervensie geheg is met betrekking tot die impak daarvan op individue en spanontwikkeling onderskeidelik. In Hoofstuk Een word 'n oorsig van die studie, die omvang daarvan en 'n formulering van die navorsingsprobleem verskaf. Hoofstuk Twee bied 'n oorsig van die span binne sy konteks aan en verduidelik die proses van kontraktering, die span se behoeftes en die belyning van die intervensie met die strategiese doelwitte van die organisasie. Die volgende Hoofstuk bied die beginsels wat toegepas is in die ontwerp en daarstelling van die intervensie en gee die teoretiese onderbou van die program soos dit put uit resente literatuur. In Hoofstuk Vier word 'n beskrywing van die kursusontwerp asook die aktiwiteite wat gebruik is verskaf. Dit word gevolg deur 'n beskrywing van die impak van die intervensie op individuele deelnemers en die span onderskeidelik. 'n Oorsig van die fenomenologiese metode van Georgi word verskaf en dit word aangewend om 'n analise van die deelnemers se weergawe van die mees betekenisvolle oomblikke wat hulle gedurende die program ervaar het, te doen. Die studie word afgesluit met die navorsingsresultate, aanbevelings oor toekomstige navorsing en finale opmerkings.

Full textThe purpose of this study is mainly to study the cohesion of the men's and women's teams and investigate any differences / similarities. The authors also intend to explore coaches perceptions about their own role in the cohesion of a team, and their perceptions of how cohesion is created and maintained. A total of 96 male and female handball players, in division 1 and 2, from age 16 to 34 participated in the quantitative study, and four coaches participated in the qualitative survey. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the cohesion of the men and women, as the female handball players experienced a higher level of cohesion then the male handball players. Further, the results showed that the coaches felt that the cohesion is different in men's and women's teams,as women attach higher value to how well the members of the group get along and men tend to focus on their own performance. Finally, the results showed that cohesion should be constantly maintained in order to achieve success. The results were discussed in relation to different theoretical perspectives.

Full textBaksidestext Intensive care represents potential patient safety challenges for critically ill patients. Human errors are the most common cause of incidents, and failures in team performance are identified as contributory factors. The measurements of patient safety culture and simulation-based team training are recommended initiatives to improve patient safety. The aim of the thesis was to investigate patient safety culture, team performance and the use of simulation-based team training for building patient safety in intensive care nursing. The nurses had a positive perception of the overall patient safety culture. A potential for improvements were found in incident reporting, feedback and communication about errors and organizational learning. The RNs evaluated the simulation-based team training programme in a positive way. The assessments of nurses’ team performance with respect to communication, leadership and decision-making in a simulation-based emergency situation showed a variation in competencies from advanced novice to competent. There were differences between expert raters’ assessments and nurses’ self-assessments. The nurses perceived that simulation-based team training on a regular basis increases the awareness of clinical practice and acknowledges the importance of structured teamwork.
