Clinical Trial Summary

Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety (TeamSTEPPS) is an evidence-based approach for teams that can be adapted for school mental health. TeamSTEPPS has been widely disseminated in health care settings with promising outcomes. TeamSTEPPS is designed to build competencies in the areas of leadership, situation monitoring, mutual support, and communication and has been associated with improvements in teamwork and communication as well as patient outcomes, such as decreased seclusion in psychiatric hospitals. This approach has yet to be extended as an implementation strategy in school or community mental health teams. If an evidence-based team approach like TeamSTEPPS can be successfully applied to school mental health teams, it could provide a cost-effective strategy for improving student mental health services and bolstering existing EBP implementation efforts, which to date generally have been insufficient in producing long-term clinician behavior change. In Aim 1 the investigators will capture key stakeholder perspectives about challenges in collocated school mental health services through formative work to inform collaborative planning and capacity building activities in Aim 2. Then, in Aim 2 the investigators will identify inter-organizational challenges and required components of TeamSTEPPS to adapt. The investigators will establish an advisory board and adapt TeamSTEPPS. The product of Aim 2 will be an adapted TeamSTEPPS, directed toward both school mental health and school-employed personnel, and specific, tailored implementation strategies to improve services in schools in conjunction with TeamSTEPPS. Finally, In Aim 3 the investigators will explore the feasibility, acceptability, and utility of TeamSTEPPS and the strategies generated in Aim 2 on inter-professional collaboration, teamwork, and student outcomes in eight schools.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other Expanded School Mental Health Collaboration Instrument 59-item tool to assess perceptions of three aspects of collaboration (i.e., types, influences, and benefits) between school professionals and mental health professionals from collaborating agencies on a continuous scale. For each subscale, an average score is calculated with higher scores indicating strengths and lower scores indicating areas to consider improving or targeting. Responses for all items on the scale are measured on one of two, four-point Likert-type scales (1 = never to 4 = often for Types of Collaboration; and 1 = strongly disagree to 4 = strongly agree for Influences on Collaboration and Perceived Benefits of Collaboration). Mental health team members will complete the Community version. School personnel will complete School version. 3-12 months
Other TeamSTEPPS Teamwork Perceptions Questionnaire (T-TPQ) Self-report measure of individual perceptions of group-level team skills and behavior. It is based upon the five core components of teamwork that comprise TeamSTEPPS. Each construct is represented by seven questions, totaling 35 items. Items are rated continuously on a five-point scale from strongly disagree = 1 to strongly agree = 5. A total score is computed by summing all items and higher scores indicate more favorable perceptions. 3-12 months
Other TeamSTEPPS Teamwork Attitudes Questionnaire (T-TAQ) Self-report measure of individual attitudes related to the core components of teamwork captured within TeamSTEPPS. Six items measure each of the core teamwork constructs, for a total of 30 items. Items are rated continuously on a five-point scale from strongly disagree = 1 to strongly agree = 5. A sum score is calculated across items with higher scores indicating more positive attitudes. 3-12 months
Primary Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM) Reliable and validated 4-item tool to assess perceptions of the feasibility of an intervention (in this caseTeamSTEPPS). Scores can range from 4 to 20. A score of 4 indicates it was very unfeasible and a score of 20 indicates it was very feasible. Each item may be scored 1 = "completely disagree", 2 = "disagree", 3 = "neither agree nor disagree", 4 = "agree", and 5 = "completely agree." 3-12 months
Primary Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM) Reliable and validated 4-item observational tool to assess perceptions of the acceptability of an intervention (in this caseTeamSTEPPS). Scores can range from 4 to 20. A score of 4 indicates it was very unacceptable and a score of 20 indicates it was very acceptable. Each item may be scored 1 = "completely disagree", 2 = "disagree", 3 = "neither agree nor disagree", 4 = "agree", and 5 = "completely agree." 3-12 months
Secondary Oxford Non-Technical Skills (NOTECHS) scale Validated 4-item tool to assess teamwork and cognitive skills. It measures leadership and management; teamwork and cooperation; problem-solving and decision making; and situational awareness. An observer codes team behavior in each domain using 3-5 items rated from 1 (Below Standard) to 4 (Excellent). Sub-team specific modifiers further examine the unique contributions of various staff roles. It has been previously modified for use with medical teams with demonstrated reliability and validity. Final scores indicate "below standard", "basic standard", "standard", or "excellent" performance. 3-12 months
