The objective of this work was to assess whether the implementation of a bridge resource management (BRM) unit into the simulator-based nautical training of the German Navy is effective in improving non-technical skills and navigation performance. To this end, questionnaire data, observations of behaviour and performance outcomes were compared between a control group and an experimental group. Data of 24 bridge teams (126 sailors) were used for the analyses. Ten teams received BRM training and 14 teams served as the control group with unchanged simulator training. Reactions to simulator training were positive in both groups but more favourable in the control group. In the BRM group, significantly more positive attitudes towards open communication and coordination, more frequent sharing of information and fewer collisions were found than in the control group. Effect sizes were rather small. This may be due to the limited scale of the BRM unit, which consisted of only one instruction-training-feedback cycle. The extension of BRM-related feedback to all simulator runs of the nautical training can be expected to produce larger effects on attitudes, behaviour and performance.

单个基于模拟器的桥梁资源管理单元对态度、行为和性能影响的实验研究

这项工作的目的是评估在德国海军基于模拟器的航海训练中实施桥梁资源管理 (BRM) 单元是否能有效提高非技术技能和导航性能。为此，在对照组和实验组之间比较问卷数据、行为观察和绩效结果。分析使用了 24 个桥队（126 名水手）的数据。10 支队伍接受了 BRM 训练，14 支队伍作为对照组，模拟器训练不变。两组对模拟器训练的反应都是积极的，但在对照组中更有利。在 BRM 组中，对开放式沟通和协调的态度明显更加积极，发现比对照组更频繁地共享信息和更少的冲突。效应量相当小。这可能是由于 BRM 单元的规模有限，它仅由一个指令-训练-反馈周期组成。预计将 BRM 相关反馈扩展到航海训练的所有模拟器运行会对态度、行为和表现产生更大的影响。
