Derksen C, Kötting L, Keller FM, et al. Psychological intervention to improve communication and patient safety in obstetrics: examination of the health action process approach. Front Psychol. 2022;13:771626. doi:10.3389/fpsyg.2022.771626.
Effective communication and teamwork are fundamental to ensure safe patient care. Building on their earlier systematic review of communication interventions in obstetric care, researchers developed and implemented a training, TeamBaby, to improve communication at two obstetric hospitals. While results did not show a change in communication behavior, perceived patient safety did improve. Additional resources are available in the curated library on maternal safety.
