Summary

The purpose of the project is to investigate the function of self-regulatory processes in anesthesiologists and how application of these processes influence performance in a crisis situation.The investigators intend to explore specifically the first phase of self-regulation, i.e. the forethought phase which describes processes related to strategic planning, goal setting, goal orientation, and outcome expectation. The investigators hypothesize that prompting forethought before engaging in a simulated massive transfusion crisis situation will result in better task performance in anesthesiologists.

  • Forethought
  • Performance

Interventions

OTHER

Prompting forethought

Participants will be asked questions which elicit specific forethought elements related to the given clinical situation. These are elements that relate to strategic planning, goal setting, goal orientation, imagery, outcome expectation. These context specific questions will be determined in the Pilot study and validated in Study I.
