First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tests whether using audio and video recordings from an Operating Room Black Box during team debriefings helps reduce stress and improve teamwork among operating room staff. About 135 healthcare workers from three hospitals will be split into two groups: one using standard debriefings and one using video-assisted debriefings. The goal is to see if the extra data makes debriefings more useful and boosts psychological safety.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Debriefing (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that video-assisted debriefings improve teamwork and reduce burnout among operating room staff.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (135 participants) comparing two debriefing methods, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is behavioral, not a treatment, so impact is limited.
