Abstract

The current study evaluated the effectiveness of a workshop designed to provide nurses (n = 6) with the means to improve their situation awareness. The nurses participated in a full-day workshop in which their situation awareness performance was measured before and after using the Situation Awareness Global Assessment Technique. Following the workshop, nurses demonstrated improvement in their perception of relevant cues, comprehension of what the combination of cues means, and projection of the patient's future status. The implications of situation awareness education for health-care professionals are discussed.
