▼ This dissertation takes an exploratory look at the role of human factors (HF) metrics within an electronics manufacturing organization by focussing on three objectives: 1) determining company stakeholder views of HF metrics, metrics development and HF application, 2) developing a workstation level HF assessment tool for light assembly work, and 3) creating a tool that reports the level of HF integration and maturity in an organization. Mixed methods were used in an action research framework. Research at the case organization was predominantly qualitative and included field notes, audio recordings, and company documents. Identified gaps between engineering and HF metrics were due to HF metrics focussed more on health and safety measures and activities being completed, gaps in the understanding of HF contributions, and the need for new HF tools to generate reporting measures. Five identified themes affecting HF metrics development included 1) knowledge of engineer processes and of HF principles, 2) connection of metrics to the organization, 3) support of the organization and of the information to the organization, 4) resource availability and limitations, and 5) communication format of metrics information. Collaborative user-centered development of a workstation efficiency evaluator tool helped determine data of interest and effective communication of output variables for users. Design stage inputs create outputs that include HF and system information. The tool performed well in a comparison to an observation-based analysis and also demonstrated tolerance to input errors on workstation outcomes. The developed Human Factors Integration Tool assesses HF maturity across organizational functions. Face and content validity of the tool were tested in field testing and workshops. Participants communicated a need for the tool and its contents. Industry stakeholders found the consensus-based tool helped to establish the status of HF in the organization, plan projects to further develop HF capabilities, and initiate discussions on HF for performance and well-being. The created tools demonstrated approaches to the development of future HF tools. These dissertation findings illustrate the need for more HF metric work, including developing HF measures that contribute to organization metrics, and that the development of HF measures and processes need HF considerations in their development.

▼ As gesture-based interactions with computer interfaces become more technologically feasible for educational and training systems, it is important to consider what interactions are best for the learner. Computer interactions should not interfere with learning nor increase the mental effort of completing the lesson. The purpose of the current set of studies was to determine whether natural gesture-based interactions, or instruction of those gestures, help the learner in a computer lesson by increasing learning and reducing mental effort. First, two studies were conducted to determine what gestures were considered natural by participants. Then, those gestures were implemented in an experiment to compare type of gesture and type of gesture instruction on learning conceptual information from a computer lesson. The goal of these studies was to determine the instructional efficiency – that is, the extent of learning taking into account the amount of mental effort – of implementing gesture-based interactions in a conceptual computer lesson. To test whether the type of gesture interaction affects conceptual learning in a computer lesson, the gesture-based interactions were either naturally- or arbitrarily-mapped to the learning material on the fundamentals of optics. The optics lesson presented conceptual information about reflection and refraction, and participants used the gesture-based interactions during the lesson to manipulate on-screen lenses and mirrors in a beam of light. The beam of light refracted/reflected at the angle corresponding with type of lens/mirror. The natural gesture-based interactions were those that mimicked the physical movement used to manipulate the lenses and mirrors in the optics lesson, while the arbitrary gestures were those that did not match the movement of the lens or mirror being manipulated. The natural gestures implemented in the computer lesson were determined from Study 1, in which participants performed gestures they considered natural for a set of actions, and rated in Study 2 as most closely resembling the physical interaction they represent. The arbitrary gestures were rated by participants as most arbitrary for each computer action in Study 2. To test whether the effect of novel gesture-based interactions depends on how they are taught, the way the gestures were instructed was varied in the main experiment by using either video- or text-based tutorials. Results of the experiment support that natural gesture-based interactions were better for learning than arbitrary gestures, and instruction of the gestures largely did not affect learning and amount of mental effort felt during the task. To further investigate the factors affecting instructional efficiency in using gesture-based interactions for a computer lesson, individual differences of the learner were taken into account. Results indicated that the instructional efficiency of the gestures and their instruction depended on an individual's spatial ability, such that arbitrary gesture interactions taught with a… Advisors/Committee Members: Sims, Valerie.

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

The current project involved investigation into the understanding of airmanship among Australian aviators and the way in which airmanship is trained in Australia. The starting point was Kern’s model of airmanship (1996, 2009a), developed from research with aviators in the USA. The current research revealed two insufficiencies in the Kern model. First that it includes few of the non-technical skills that become important as an aviation career progresses, and secondly it emphasises knowledge over application. The Ebbage and Spencer (2003) model of airmanship, developed in the UK, includes non-technical skills more overtly and some additional concepts not included in the Kern model. Both Kern and Ebbage and Spencer recommend that training of airmanship should include three phases: 1) instil the importance of airmanship; 2) overtly teach and model airmanship; and 3) assess and provide feedback. In the current project, an initial on-line survey reached mainly general aviation pilots. The participants mentioned many of the concepts included in the existing models but also some additional concepts. A second survey reached more participants and enabled comparison of differences in views between military and civilian background aviators. It also established the relative importance placed by the participants on the component concepts of airmanship. A third study involved the interviewing of a cross-section of flight instructors and trainers from civilian and military sectors, at ab-initio and advanced levels of training. It appears that the training of airmanship generally meets the final two phases of the suggested training process, but there seemed to be a lack of formal introduction to airmanship and no use of a structure to facilitate development of airmanship. A model of airmanship was developed and its structure tested empirically. A revised model is presented, which provides a more balanced approach to the importance of the component concepts than earlier models and also recognises the influence of context on the development and expression of airmanship. The use of the revised model to expressly embed airmanship in training programs may alleviate the paradox of the use of the term ‘airmanship’ both as a global expression of safe and efficient flight and also to describe only the non-technical skills component, in some training environments.

▼ Borderline Personality Disorder is characterized by intense emotional lability, resistance to treatment, interpersonal problems, and high rates of suicide. All of these result in extensive costs to individuals diagnosed with BPD, their loved ones, and to society in general. Yet there is still no general consensus concerning the relative importance of factors contributing to development of BPD. Linehan’s 1993 biosocial model of BPD provides a framework for investigating factors such as biological vulnerabilities and invalidating environments. Although extreme versions of invalidation, such as childhood abuse, have received much attention, others like parental rearing styles have received limited attention. This is surprising as aversive parenting practices such as intrusive, erratic, punitive, and withholding emotions would seem pertinent determinants of an invalidating environment. Even more surprising is the paucity of research investigating potential interactions of parental rearing with genetic vulnerabilities, such as the Monoamine Oxidase A gene (MAOA). The present study pursued this line of investigation. Three variants of the MAOA gene were focused on. The highly active variant MAOA-H has been found in significantly higher rates among patients with Borderline Personality Disorder. The Monoamine Oxidase A gene creates a potential vulnerability, which in turn creates a potential pathway for Borderline Personality Disorder development. Thus, the proposed study aimed to measure parental rearing as three constructs: a) overprotection, b) rejection, and c) emotional warmth. It was predicted that MAOA-H would moderate the effects of parental rearing on Borderline Personality Disorder symptoms by increasing the magnitude of the relationship between the three parental rearing styles and Borderline Personality Disorder symptoms, while MAOA-L would decrease it and MAOA-M would be intermediate. Three moderated hierarchical regressions were run to test these predictions. There was no moderation detected in any analyses. However, the predicted pattern of MAOA moderated relationships was confirmed for parental rejection and BPD symptoms, with the relationships being significant in the MAOA-H and MAOA-M groups. The relationship between overprotection and BPD symptoms was significant for the MAOA-H group, while in the MAOA-M and MAOA-L groups the relationships were both not significant. The relationship between emotional warmth and BPD symptoms was only significant for the MAOA-M group. While no moderation effect was revealed, the study was underpowered and a future replication study with a much larger sample may be able to detect similar trends while possessing the statistical power to detect moderation.

▼ Distractions and interruptions are common occurrences in an operating room (OR), but little is known about their effects on surgical task performance. Based on human factors research, it was hypothesized that realistic distractions and interruptions in an OR would adversely impact surgical task performance. Because of the concern of patient safety in an OR, research on distractions and disruptions needed to be conducted in a laboratory. Consequently, this research applied an advanced virtual reality simulator for a laparoscopic surgical procedure. The experimental design consisted of a two factor within-subjects test. The primary factor was the absence or presence of distractions and interruptions with the order being randomly counterbalanced. Four distractions and two interruptions were timed to occur during critical stages of the simulated surgical procedure. The secondary factor was the experience level of the surgeons. Eighteen surgical residents volunteered to participate in this study which yielded two experience levels of 2nd year and 3rd year residents. The results supported the hypothesis since major surgical errors were committed in 44% of the simulated surgical procedures when distracted and interrupted versus only 6% when not distracted or interrupted. This difference was significant with a p-value = 0.020. No effect was shown for surgical errors with respect to the different experience levels, possibly because of the limited separation in experience. For another type of error, 56% of the participants forgot to perform a prospective memory task when distracted and interrupted, while just 22% forgot in the non-distracted conditions. This difference was significant with a p value = 0.035. Although no significant effects were indicated for total task times due to distractions and interruptions, there was a significant time difference for a subtask that coincided with an interruption and distraction. Finally, no effect was shown with pre-specified measures of performer fatigue and personal distractibility traits. However, a significant dependency was observed with respect to time of day outcomes which may have been related to fatigue. Findings from this research are applicable in the training of surgeons to become more resistant to the effects of distractions and interruptions, thereby improving patient safety.

▼ Since the Industrial Revolution, automated systems have increasingly become a part of everyday life. Automated systems range in scale and scope from simple assists to complete robotic replacements. Inexpensive integrated circuits, sensors and microprocessors have allowed automated systems to become smaller, cheaper and more prevalent. Identifying appropriate opportunities for automation, however, is still a complex task. This research aims to discover automation opportunities for the design of products that replace error prone human-centric tasks. Process models are used during conceptual design to capture how customers will use products. These process models combined with functional modeling provide a starting point for the systematic exploration of automation opportunities. Failure analysis based on process models is used to identify customer-product interaction points offering opportunities for automation. Impact factors qualitatively and quantitatively predict the impact of an automated solution as it relates to an identified failure mode. The integration of functional and process models creates a framework to support modeling of manual processes. This framework is used for the discovery and conceptualization of products to fulfill identified automation opportunities and consists of the following four stages. (1) Identify and understand the needs of the customer. (2) Translate customer needs into engineering specifications. (3) Identify automation opportunities from the manual actions of the customer. (4) Synthesize solutions to the identified automation opportunities. This framework defines the underlying structure for a family of methodologies to automate existing manual products. One methodology, supported by the framework, is presented in this dissertation for identifying automation opportunities based on error prone human-centric tasks. Designing an automated solution for identified opportunities has the potential to improve task completion efficiency, provide safer product operation, provide improved convenience and improve quality control with the final outcome of a task. Applications of this research include automated systems for military or defense applications, assistive technologies that improve quality of life, therapeutic devices for clinical applications, design of sustainable products, design of consumer-focused products and smart home technologies.

▼ Operators have a crucial role in case of an emergency in a process facility. When an abnormality occurs in the process, the operator has a limited time to take corrective actions before system safety devices shut down the operation. It is crucial that system designers and safety professionals know about this required time frame before operations are initiated. Specific research goals for this project include the following: * Estimating the standard time data for operators to take corrective actions in emergency situations. * Developing a modeling system, to allow design/process engineers to find the standard time required for the operator(s) to respond in emergency situations. Current standard time data for carrying out tasks cover normal, steady state cases. However, the time required to take action in emergency situations is different than normal cases. Because of the possibility of a process incident and danger, operators make corrective actions faster compared to normal cases. Therefore, current standard time data do not meet the requirement for emergency situations. Shorter standard time data for emergency situations needs to be estimated. Standard time data for emergency situations is estimated by using time studies. Various time study methods were introduced and discussed. MODAPTS is a predetermined time standard method and stands for Modular Arrangement of Predetermined Time Standards, and was used in this project because it is reliable, easy to use and consistent. The methodology adopted for the study required observing several emergency case videos. The operations were decomposed into basic motions (such as walking, hand movement, bend and arise, etc.) by using a video player’s frame by frame feature. The amount of time required to take these basic motions was estimated. These estimated times were then compared to calculations based on MODAPTS, which is a predetermined time standard system. By comparing MODAPTS’s standard time intervals with those estimated from emergency situations, ratios or coefficients have been estimated for the various basic motions (e.g., factors such as 0.9, 0.75, etc.). The estimated coefficients for emergency situations, which are generally around 0.65, were used in developing a modeling system. The user of this modeling system can estimate the required time to take corrective actions in emergency situations as long as he/ she knows the actions need to be taken. Consequently, the time required to take necessary actions in emergency operations will be designed and evaluated in a systematic way to reduce the potential, as well as duration, of an incident.

▼ The Royal Bahraini Air Force (RBAF) has recently experienced a series of maintenance-related incidents which have prompted investigation into the factors that contributed to them. The primary aim of this research project was to understand the nature of maintenance errors in the RBAF, with a view to developing an improved tool for identifying and managing these errors.We analysed and triangulated several sources of data in order to better understand the nature of the occurring errors and their associated factors. The Maintenance Error Decision Aid (MEDA) questionnaire was administered to RBAF technicians, and Quality Assurance (QA) reports were collected and analysed in a manner consistent with the MEDA framework. Technicians were also interviewed to identify their perceptions of the factors contributing to errors, and their insight into how the current reporting system could be improved. The type of error most commonly reported in this research was “aircraft/equipment errors, and “organisational factors” was nominated as the most common contributing factor. Both of these were reported in lower frequencies by technicians than by QA investigators. QA investigators’ experience probably helped in correctly identifying and classifying the various categories of error and contributing factors, while technicians may have treated some errors as negligible (and thus failed to report them), or may have lacked the experience or expertise to classify the errors as specifically. The technicians’ responses highlighted the importance of: proactively detecting errors; communication and the use of procedures; and pre-planning of tasks (in order to reduce maintenance errors). Based on the findings of our research project, we have developed a tool (The Tool for Error Reduction and Management (TERM)) which can be used as part of the accident reporting and investigation process; to assist in understanding systematic patterns within a large set of events; and to identify strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement within the maintenance organisation.There is no doubt that implementing the proposed tool in military aviation maintenance poses significant challenges, but from the RBAF organisational perspective, there are numerous benefits that will be gained by implementing it, most notably the reduction and improved management of maintenance errors.

▼ Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) largely bears the burden of the global malaria disease, with the transmission and intensity influenced by the interaction of a variety of climatic, environmental, socio-economic, and human factors. Other factors include parasitic and vectoral factors. In South Africa (SA) in general and KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) in particular, the change of the malaria control intervention policy in 2000, may be responsible for the significant progress over the past two decades in reducing malaria case report to near zero. Currently, malaria incidence in KZN is less than 1 case per 1000 persons at risk placing the province in the malaria elimination stage. To meeting the elimination target, it is necessary to study the dynamics of malaria transmission in KZN employing various analytical/statistical models. Thus, the aim of this study was to explore the factors that influence malaria transmission by employing different analytical models and approaches in a setting with low malaria endemicity and transmission. This involves a sound appraisal of the existing literature on the contribution of remote sensing technology in understanding malaria transmission, evaluation of existing malaria control intervention; delineation of empirical map of malaria risk; provide information on the climatic, environmental and socio-economic factors that influences malaria risk and transmission; and formulation of a relevant malaria forecast and surveillance models. The investigator started with a systemic review of studies in chapter two. The studies were aimed at identifying significant remotely-sensed climatic and environmental determinants of malaria transmission for modelling malaria transmission and risk in SSA via a variety of statistical approaches. Normalised difference vegetation index (NDVI) was identified as the most significant remotely-sensed climatic/environmental determinants of malaria transmission in SSA. Majority of the studies employed the generalised linear modelling approach compared to the Bayesian modelling approach. In the third chapter, malaria cases from the endemic areas of KZN with remotely-sensed climatic and environmental data were used to model the climatic and environmental determinants of malaria transmission and develop a malaria risk map in KZN. The spatiotemporal zero inflated Poisson model formulated indicates that at 95% Bayesian credible interval (BCI) NDVI (0.91; 95% BCI = 0.71, -1.12), precipitation (0.11; 95% BCI = 0.08, 0.14), elevation (0.05; 95% BCI = 0.032, 0.07) and night temperature (0.04; 95% BCI = 0.03, 0.04) are significantly related to malaria transmission in KZN, SA. The area with the highest risk of malaria morbidity in KZN was identified as the north-eastern part of the province. The fourth chapter was to establish the socio-economic status (SES) that influence malaria transmission in the endemic areas of KZN, by employing a Bayesian inference approach. The obtained posterior samples revealed that, significant association existed between malaria disease and low SES such as… Advisors/Committee Members: Gebreslasie, Michael Teweldemedhin. (advisor).

▼ This dissertation explores patient trust in their physician and its impact on telemedicine. Telemedicine is using any technology to remotely communicate with a healthcare professional. The first study explores patient trust in their physician by validating the Wake Forest Trust in Physician scale for use in telemedicine research. The original (TIP) scale consists of 10 items and measures four of the five dimensions of trust: Fidelity, Competence, Honesty, and Global Trust. The final validated scale for telemedicine use (T-TIP) consisted of 12 items measuring three subscales: trustworthiness, interpersonal skills, and confidentiality. Study two explores the relationship between patient trust and delivery mode (telemedicine versus traditional interactions). The results from Study 2 indicate that patients trust their physician more in the telemedicine interaction than in the traditional interaction. There was also an effect of location, ethnicity, and frequency of doctor visits on patient trust. Study three delves further into the relationship between patient trust and telemedicine by examining the impact of communication mode on patient trust. Additionally, study three explores the relationship between usability and trust. There was no difference in patient trust scores between text and verbal communication. However, study three did find that as perceived usability of the interface increases, patient trust in their physician also increases. Also, this study found that the text interface had a higher fixation rate and shorter fixation duration than the video interface, indicating that the text interface had less cognitive load. These studies not only provide a tool for measuring patient trust in their telemedicine physician but also demonstrate that there is an impact of patient trust on telemedicine. The fact that patient trust in their physician is higher in telemedicine means that telemedicine could be used to increase patient participation in their own healthcare. Additionally, the relationship between usability and patient trust could be used to increase telemedicine use. Advisors/Committee Members: Lesley Strawderman (chair), Stanley F. Bullington (committee member), Reuben F. Burch (committee member), Cindy L. Bethel (committee member).

▼ Factors contributing to errors in nursing practice: A case studyBACKGROUND: Globally there has been growing concern regarding medically oriented errors arising in clinical practice; however, little is known about nursing errors, particularly within Saudi Arabia. Nursing errors are usually associated with medication errors with other types of error in nursing practice being poorly defined. This leaves a gap in the literature for further exploration to establish if a discrete category of error associated solely with nurses and nursing can be distinguished. There is evidence to suggest that nurses who are involved in clinically oriented errors are “named, blamed and shamed” despite international calls for non-punitive approaches to error management being advocated in healthcare settings. Aim and Objectives: This study aimed to investigate how and why nursing errors occurred in one healthcare organisation in Saudi Arabia. The study objectives included the need to identify the type of errors that occurred and how incidents were defined as errors, to examine the context and consequence of nursing errors and how these were managed in the organisation, and to explore how nurses perceived their role and that of the organisation in managing nursing errors.METHODS: A qualitative case study was carried out in one hospital in Saudi Arabia. Following a retrospective review of the preceding six-months incident report documentation, four groups of participants were purposively sampled from clinical wards within the hospital experiencing both high and low rates of error. Individual and focus group interviews were undertaken with nurses, doctors, nurse managers and quality department staff to generate a multi-perspectival review of the case. All the conducted interviews were transcribed verbatim, coded and analysed. The Swiss cheese model was used as an analytical tool to provide an explanation of the case by identifying the latent and active failures arising within the organisation.CONCLUSIONS: Analysis of the data revealed a level of ambiguity when defining what constituted ‘nursing error’. Yet defining and distinguishing nursing errors was crucial to help develop nursing as a profession. Furthermore, nurses, doctors, nurse managers and quality staff all perceived diverse latent failures contributed to nursing errors, notably the existence of different policies/protocols across hospital wards/units, different work systems and processes between hospital wards, the role of diversity related to the healthcare professionals’ cultural background, increased patient acuity and the presence of a blame culture. In essence therefore each of the above was seen to be key organisational factors leading to the manifestation of errors in clinical practice. Finally use of the Swiss Cheese Model helped identify that organisational as opposed to purely human influences were the main factors contributing to errors, by creating necessary the preconditions for unsafe acts to arise within the targeted organisation.

▼ The Think Out Loud (TOL) method has been shown to be a valid and valuable usability evaluation technique in Western cultures. To determine whether TOL affects workload, performance and satisfaction, 45 Chinese, 30 Indian and 81 American students were asked to perform 3 scanning and 1 procedural task. All international participants (Chinese and Indian) had lived outside of their birth country for less than 2 years and all American participants had been born in the United States of America. Participants were randomly assigned to complete tasks using classic TOL, as described by Ericsson and Simon (1993), in either their native language, English, or in a control condition where no mention of TOL or silence was made. All participants were timed and their correct and incorrect solutions recorded. After each task participants were asked to complete a modified NASA Task Load Index (TLX) and 7 point Likert scale relating to satisfaction and performance. A Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient revealed that when participants self reports of workload increased, their performance and satisfaction decreased, and that satisfaction rating rose when performance increased. This discovery provided greater value to the utilized variables and the results which were analyzed through a one-way analysis of variance. The Indian participants reported no difference in workload rating, performance and satisfaction among TOL, TOL native and silent control groups. This result may be attributed to the considerable participant reported levels of acclimation, to the Western culture, experienced in both India and America. The American participants did not report a significant difference in workload rating, performance or satisfaction between the TOL and silent control groups. This result validates and mirrors previous research and emphasizes the differences found among Chinese participants. In the TOL native condition, Chinese participants experienced a greater level of mental workload and lower levels of both performance and satisfaction than their counterparts in the silent control condition. Those in the TOL condition performed worse and reported lower satisfaction levels than those in the silent control condition as well. Chinese participants also rated TOL as significantly more detrimental to their performance then American users in scanning tasks, and TOL more detrimental then TOL native in procedural tasks. This latest result underscores the potential of TOL performance to confound usability results as Chinese participants actually experienced higher workload levels in TOL native conditions then in TOL. These findings of TOL produced modifications in usability's core variables (efficiency, effectiveness and satisfaction) in Eastern participants combined with the lack of variability in Western participants, further endorses TOL as effective for Western cultures and indicates evaluation methods other than TOL may need to be employed in Eastern cultures.
