In the current study, the structural and external validity of data derived from two shorter versions of the Multidimensional Assessment of Teamwork in Sport (MATS) were examined using multilevel analyses. Evidence of model-data fit was shown for both a 5-factor model comprising 19 items (with subscales assessing teamwork preparation, execution, evaluation, adjustments, and management of team maintenance) and a single-factor model comprising five items (providing a global estimate of teamwork). In general, data from both versions were positively and significantly correlated with (and distinct from) athletes' perceptions of team cohesion, collective efficacy, performance satisfaction, enjoyment in their sport, and commitment to their team and their coaches' transformational leadership. The measures appear well suited to detect between-teams differences, as evidenced by intraclass correlation coefficients and acceptable reliability estimates of team-level scores. In summary, the 19-item Multidimensional Assessment of Teamwork in Sport-Short and five-item Multidimensional Assessment of Teamwork in Sport-Global provide conceptually and psychometrically sound questionnaires to briefly measure teamwork in sport.

The Path to Success: An Analysis of the Subjective and Objective Characteristics of Orthopaedic Surgery Applicants With Program Director Insight.

J Am Acad Orthop Surg

November 2024

From the College of Medicine, University of Florida (Tishad, Kass, and Stinson), and the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL (Spiguel).

Article Synopsis
  • There is ongoing uncertainty about what makes a competitive applicant for orthopaedic surgery residency, so researchers analyzed data from 2020 to 2023 to identify crucial traits and metrics.
  • Factors such as standardized exam scores, research experience, and extracurricular involvement were examined alongside subjective comments from applicants to determine their importance in the matching process.
  • The study found that top-performing applicants, particularly those in the first quartile of their class and with high board exam scores, were significantly more likely to match, highlighting the value of both quantifiable metrics and personal attributes in residency applications.

This narrative review examines the relationship between dopamine-related genetic polymorphisms, personality traits, and athletic success. Advances in sports genetics have identified specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in dopamine-related genes linked to personality traits crucial for athletic performance, such as motivation, cognitive function, and emotional resilience. This review clarifies how genetic variations can influence athletic predisposition through dopaminergic pathways and environmental interactions.

Article Synopsis
  • This study explored how critical care nurses in Egypt perceive patient safety culture and its link to adverse events affecting patient care.
  • Findings showed low positive responses in critical areas like staffing and teamwork, with many nurses having a moderate to high perception of overall patient safety.
  • A significant relationship was found between poor safety culture perceptions and higher incidences of adverse events, such as patient falls and drug-related issues, particularly among nurses with certain demographics and experience levels.
