| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
When nurses make natural decisions in practical settings, appropriate actions to decrease errors and improve patient safety follow decisions based on proper situational awareness that includes integration of past experiences, the current situation, and future predictions. We established an observational setting where nurses performed environmental arrangement to serve as a setting where they could practice routine situational awareness. The aims of this design were to elucidate the effects on cerebral blood flow by comparing different methods of practicing situational awareness.
The provision of opportunities to practice situational awareness had the following effects on cerebral blood flow: (1) left and right total Hb values increased after situational awareness in both the writing and oral groups; (2) right total Hb values in the pre-situational awareness task in the oral group were high; and (3) left and right total Hb values during situational awareness were high in the oral group.
