Research Expertise

My research is about understanding and optimising the role of humans in organisational systems to promote positive system outcomes - safety, individual wellbeing, environmental impact, effectiveness, efficiency etc. This is the common agenda across a diverse portfolio of research interests, activities and sectors, from how culpablity judgements are made in aviation to model of care design in healthcare to promoting systainable travel to the dynamics of how self-help groups impact their members. My particular research strength is in promoting a "big picture" vision of the impact that human factors and sociotechnical systems research can have on these diverse sectors. In 2014 I set an agenda to diversify our research centre programme and from aviation safety; we now have a credible viable research programme across traffic psychology, heathcare systems, sustainable behaviour, workplace wellbeing and risk management, attracting substantial funding from a wide range of public and private research funders, and having impact on policy and practice. I am proud of the leadership role i have taken in this development albeit this has been at the expense of my individual academic research output. Foreign object retention in healthcare, aviation and other industries Psycho-social outcomes and mechanisms of self-help groups Just culture and culpability decision making Organisational, professional and national cultures and their relations to human factors The meaning and use of incident information Efficiency and effectiveness of training methodologies and processes Assessment methodologies for non-technical skills Models of human competence Integrated risk management The use of virtual and augmented reality for training, operations management, risk assessment and safety management

    Developing a multi-faceted approach to reducing and mitigating the risk of foreign object retention
    Summary
    Over 1,000 Irish FOR incidents between 2011 and 2015 represent unnecessary suffering patients, reputational cost/damage to the healthcare service, institution and clinician and financial cost in claims and rework. FOR is an intractable human factors problem because removing materials after a task is not integrated into the natural task sequence, thus more susceptible to a "lapse" error. While the problem traverses tasks and industries the challenges can be specific to the sector, organisation, team, task and object. Generic risk controls need to be tailored to the specific context. Healthcare-specific human factors may be the hierarchical structure of medical/surgical teams, interdisciplinary communication, the culture around "speaking up" and the training history in a "conservative profession". The objective of this research project will be to integrate the best of existing methods into a foreign object management process and an implementation roadmap. The foreign object management process is a generic process which can be customised for application to diverse contexts. The implementation roadmap is a framework for introducing, customising and embedding the process in a hospital, including stakeholder identification and engagement, training, resourcing and continuous improvement. Two pilot hospitals have been chosen to analyse surgical and obstetric services. Two groups of stakeholders from the pilot hospitals will be identified and engaged with throughout the project - process stakeholders (surgeons, obstetricians, theatre nurses, midwives) and system stakeholders (hospital administrators, educators, device manufacturers, risk managers, patient representatives, indemnifiers, regulators). The project brings together an experienced multi-disciplinary team from human factors, psychology, risk & change management, surgery, obstetrics /gynaecology, nursing/midwifery. Human factors and risk management tools - process modelling, bowtie, stakeholder analysis - will be applied to analyse the challenges and develop the most effective solutions. The project team includes stakeholders in key positions in the health services to enable effective execution, dissemination and uptake of the projects results.

  • Title
    The social and psychological mechanisms and outcomes of self-help groups in Ethiopia
    Summary
    A number of studies have confirmed that the Self Help Group (SHG) approach brings about various levels of change and empowerment while accumulating financial capital, as well as being cost-effective. Tearfund's underlying theory of change asserts that relationships and social capital are key towards achieving this. However studies conducted so far have touched on this, yet not researched this mechanism in depths from a psychological perspective. Emphasis has been largely on tangible benefits, though a psychological lens is believed to reveal intangible mechanisms and benefits. It is anticipated that a better understanding of the role of relationships and social capital in the SHGs will further improve the quality of the implementation if the Self Help Group approach. This research aims to: . Evaluate the impact of SHGs on the social, psychological and spiritual wellbeing of their members . Elucidate the features SHGs which promote, and those that may hamper, achieving this impact . Elaborate and adjust the Tearfund theory of change for SHG The study comprises mixed methods study of ten SHGs. The SHGs were chosen deliberately to include: . Five young ( less than 2 years) and five older ( more than 5 years) SHGs . High (5), Medium (4) and Low (1) functioning SHGs . SHGs from two regions - Oromiya and Wolaita Four data collection methods are being used in the study Surveys of the SHG members, including: o Demographic data o Self-evaluations of current status and changes since joining the SHG in finances, health, education, and wellbeing o Standardised scales of key psycho-social and spiritual dimensions o Team evaluation items In-depth focus groups with the SHGs focussed on elaborating their understanding of how the SHGs work, how they influence change in their members' lives and what the key mechanisms are Profiling of SHGs using a structured interview with key informants and reference to data gathered by Tearfund or its partners: o Date of formation, location, ethnic and religious composition, etc. o Local socio-political and economic context o Any significant events in the history of the SHG - internal conflicts, members leaving, drought challenges Semi-structured observations of the focus groups to gather data on non-verbal behaviours and team interactions

  • Title
    Innovation through Human Factors in risk analysis and management (InnHF)
    Summary
    The INNHF main objective is to formalize an approach and make it possible to integrate the current and developing assessment methods recommended or required by recognized industrial standards and methodologies, with an easy to use but complete human factors and system health management approach, the following goals will be achieved: 1) Review of the applicability of most the recent generation of standards that are not yet fully acquired by different industries and verification of their effectiveness in safety assessment. 2) Devising a method to account qualitatively and quantitatively for the human factor in the wider applied risk assessment methodologies. Verifying how a proper account of the impact of human and organizational factors (H&OF) in the operational phase may provide a sensitive change in the results of the assessments. 3) Reviewing the methods to account qualitatively and quantitatively for maintenance effectiveness, also taking into account HOFs, verifying how a proper account of the maintenance strategy may provide a sensitive change in the results of the assessments. 4) To translate the results of the analysis performed through the novel approach in a factual design improvement initiative for new or existing plant or machinery able to provide leverage for competitive advantage (maximum availability, minimum unscheduled shutdowns of production, economic maintenance, minimum incident and accident). 5) The final objective of the project will be the development of a training program aimed at covering all the technical areas of expertise necessary to successfully carry out the case studies objectives. This training program will be initially rolled out internally to provide new researcher with a set of innovative skills to maximize the employment prospects for new researchers in large and/or SM enterprises. Further the training materials and content developed will also be offered to the wider community of the relevant industrial domains for the purpose of testing and dissemination.
