Background and Objectives: The treatment of chronic illnesses requires health care professionals (HCPs) to master several nontechnical skills to meet patient care needs. This article aims to describe the rationale and the inductive process through which a self-Assessment tool for the nontechnical skills of hemophilia teams was conceived, developed, and tested. Methods: Starting from an explorative analysis of hemophilia HCP work experiences, the process followed 3 phases: An in-depth analysis of hemophilia HCP skills; the questionnaire development; and a pilot study. Results: Using the voice of HCPs as a starting point, the tool proved to be able to identify precise cross-professional and intercultural challenges as well as related required and/or acquired skills in the hemophilia field. Conclusion: The proposed tool may contribute to providing HCPs with strategic knowledge to successfully perform everyday practices, to improve the effectiveness of hemophilia teams and the care model adopted by their centers, and to implement intercultural research in this field. It may be used to propose ad hoc training courses targeted by challenge, in order to fill the major gaps reported by the teams, or targeted by medical specialty or country (and therefore health care system) specificity.

Abstract

Background and Objectives: The treatment of chronic illnesses requires health care professionals (HCPs) to master several nontechnical skills to meet patient care needs. This article aims to describe the rationale and the inductive process through which a self-Assessment tool for the nontechnical skills of hemophilia teams was conceived, developed, and tested. Methods: Starting from an explorative analysis of hemophilia HCP work experiences, the process followed 3 phases: An in-depth analysis of hemophilia HCP skills; the questionnaire development; and a pilot study. Results: Using the voice of HCPs as a starting point, the tool proved to be able to identify precise cross-professional and intercultural challenges as well as related required and/or acquired skills in the hemophilia field. Conclusion: The proposed tool may contribute to providing HCPs with strategic knowledge to successfully perform everyday practices, to improve the effectiveness of hemophilia teams and the care model adopted by their centers, and to implement intercultural research in this field. It may be used to propose ad hoc training courses targeted by challenge, in order to fill the major gaps reported by the teams, or targeted by medical specialty or country (and therefore health care system) specificity.
