Study Details

Implicit bias is a form of bias in which a person's automatic and unintentional thoughts of another person or group influence either positively or negatively their behavior or the decisions they make. Studies show that healthcare providers have the same amount of bias as any other person and that it can affect patient care. However, in the emergency room, which is fast-paced and there is a high number of patients, implicit bias may be higher. Therefore, this study will look at emergency care center (ECC) providers' willingness to change their implicit bias behaviors. After, it will provide implicit bias education designed for the ECC to the healthcare providers at SMHCS Sarasota campus and assess whether it improved their willingness to change implicit bias behaviors when compared to the providers in the SMHCS Venice campus who did not receive the education.

Arms

  • Arm: ECC staff receiving educational module
    Active healthcare providers (including emergency medicine physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and residents, as well as nurses, multi-skilled technicians, and paramedics) in the SMH-Sarasota ECC will fill out the initial surveys, complete the implicit bias education, and do the posttest (re-administer the Measuring Change in Overcoming Implicit Biases in Behavior by Emergency Medicine Personnel questionnaire).
  • Arm: ECC staff not receiving educational module
    Active healthcare providers (including emergency medicine physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and residents, as well as nurses, multi-skilled technicians, and paramedics) in the SMH-Venice ECC will fill out the initial surveys and do the posttest (re-administer the Measuring Change in Overcoming Implicit Biases in Behavior by Emergency Medicine Personnel questionnaire). Once all data is collected from both groups, the Venice Campus ECC will be given the ECC implicit bias education.

Primary Outcome Measure

Examine emergency care center (ECC) staff's willingness to overcome pre-existing implicit bias. [ Time Frame: 6-18 months ]
