In the present study, a psychological approach to medical dispensing errors, the cognitive-systems performance model (Grasha & O'Neill, 1996), was employed to evaluate the contributions of individual differences in attention and alterations in visual task information on simulated pharmacy verification performance, perceived workload, and self-reported stress. Seventy-three college-age volunteers completed a pretest battery containing measures of automatic and controlled information processing, and, one-week later, spent 265-minutes completing the end visual inspection process for 200 pre-assembled, simulated prescriptions, 27% of which contained artificially inserted errors. Evidence suggesting that both automatic and controlled information processing underlie performance of a simulated verification task was obtained in the present study. Experimental alterations in the visual clarity of critical information needed for error detection produced a complex pattern of performance. Detection accuracy associated with alterations in font size (12-point vs. 6-point) of critical prescription label information was partially in line with expectations regarding the cognitive systems performance model, while additional visual enhancements via a agnification/illumination device produced results that were largely inconsistent with the hypotheses. As a whole, detection accuracy was significantly correlated with individual differences in controlled information processing, but not automatic information processing as expected. Finally, reports of perceived workload and specific patterns of self-reported stress were partially consistent with a three-tier behavioral framework offered by Matthews, Davies, Westerman, & Stammers (2000) for predicting behaviors along the automatic-controlled distinction and with data from prior pharmacy work. 2002-09-15 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1029165866 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1029165866 restricted--full text not available online This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
