Outline of Final Research Achievements

Kiken-Yochi (hazard prediction) Training (KYT), which is an active safety tool, involves training to prevent accidents. The objective of this research was to clarify the effects of differnce in media on KYT.The authors envisaged 12 scenarios where hazards were likely to occur within medical facilities, recreated them with models, and took pictures. Next, they selected two of these scenarios and created illustrations. The research subjects were 11 nurses. The subjects collectively identified 121 hazards in the photographs and 151 hazards in the illustrations. Statistical verification revealed no meaningful difference between the outcomes of using the two mediums.The results of this research indicated no meaningful difference between illustrations and photographs in the number of hazards identified by the subjects; therefore, it is considered that photographs can be used for KYT materials.
